I wasn't going to name them tetex-*-system-texlive because they would live on top of either system-texlive or texlive (when I got around to creating that). > > Are you considering a texlive (i.e. from source) package as well ? > Or is > that an obviously bad idea ?

Next on the agenda is texlive-dvd (or some such) which installs TeX Live from the dvd or downloaded stuff or whatever directly into the fink directories. Compiling from source will be last (but might happen).
