Thanks. What about perl - is that a run dependency as well?
Yes, it is, install-tl and tlmgr are perl scripts.
3. TeX Live ships with its own portable FreeBSD i386/amd64 xz and wget
binaries and install-tl/tlmgr use them. They will not work on FreeBSD<7.
Therefore, it could be possible that you need to add xz and wget as
build/run dependencies on FreeBSD<7 and on architectures other than
i386/amd64, although I haven't checked this.
I won't worry about FreeBSD<7. They are end of line anyway.
Ok.
But it looks like tlmgr expects to find wget in its path. So I'll add
it as a run dependency.
4. Since the aim of your port is not to create portable binaries, there
is no reason not to build xindy. You can freely add '--enable-xindy
CLISP=/path to the clisp binary/', and lang/clisp as a build dependency.
I was looking at the online docs of xindy. Is the version of xindy
that comes with texlive out of date? The online docs don't match the
program that comes with xindy.
Many other programs are out of date, TeX Live 2011 was released a year
ago. The versions distributed with TL releases match together well. The
safest options for TL2011 users is to use xindy distributed with TL2011.
I will add an option that allows xindy to be built.
More notes/questions:
* You could add x11-toolkits/p5-Tk as a run dependency. tlmgr has a
nice GUI; actually it's very inconvenient to use it without gui.
I will add an option that will add x11-toolkits/p5-Tk as a run dependency.
* Since this port leaves full TeX Live system installed, users should
use tlmgr to update their packages and scripts. Two questions in this
respect:
a) what will happen with /var/db/ports/ info?
he info will become out of date. But when the user tries to deinstall
the package, he/she gets helpful messages that says it could not be
completely deinstalled, and says where the problem is. And since the
only stuff that will have changed is in ${PREFIX}/texlive, the user
should find it easy to delete the left over stuff.
Also I think one could add a pkg-deinstall message that says to apply
"rm -rf ${PREFIX}/texlive" just to be sure.
b) it's not a good idea to run tlmgr gui as root. Maybe to offer an
option with SUID Bit, as in sysutils/xcdroast?
This looks non-trivial. Simply setting the setuid bit on the tlmgr
script doesn't work, because it is a perl script. One way would be to
write a wrapper.
But I would recommend the port "security/super" which allows you to
create scripts that can be run with setuid. Then let the user set this
up as they desire.
