The only remaining problem will be dependencies within the port management system, e. g. ports requiring a TeX distribution which defaults to teTeX... By the way, would it be possible or desired to introduce a setting to /etc/make.conf regarding _which_ TeX distribution to use, e. g. WITH_TEX=texlive (will install TeXlive) or WITH_TEX=teTeX (will install teTeX) if a dependency of TeX is requested? -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
