I would second that! As only a lurker on this list, but an active user of LaTeX and macports, I uninstalled teTeX last year in favour of texlive. While it is not perfect (ideally it would be a core system with additional packages installed as required directly from CTAN with some form of auto-update) it is what is available "right now". It is a pain installing anything using macports that has TeX as a dependency and subsequently having teTeX installed automatically. It is easy to then fix, but still an annoyance!
Best wishes, Mark NB: Must say a thank-you for making macports available - it is really rather good, and I rely on it all the time On 13/01/2008, James Sumners <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I've created a ticket [1] requesting TeXmacs' dependency be updated > from teTeX to texLive.
