Please try it.
When I wrote the above, I wasn't fully aware of the situation. I now see that libkpathsea4 is now built from the texlive source as before it was built from the tetex source. It therefore does not seem to me that it would not make sense to use the new libkpathsea4 with tetex and download both sources, even if it might work. So in essence you are forcing texlive on all tetex users. This is not necessarily a complaint, I am just stating this because I do not know if that was your intention. And currently a simple update-all does not work at all. > Let me say: > Yes, 435MB is huge, but the original texmf tarball > texlive-20080822-texmf.tar.lzma (860MB) is twice! :-/ > I tried to reduce the size in a simple way, and > texlive-20080822-texmf-delpdf.tar.bz2 (435MB) is my answer. > If someone has another idea for it, please let me know. Yes, this is due to the monolithic nature of these distributions and nothing for which you could be blamed. Since texlive seems to be popular, I maybe should simply stop bickering and install it. I just hesitate to do so before finishing the paper that I am writing at the moment. Again, thanks for your effort! It is good to have a supported tex distribution in fink.
