They're in texlive_base, the arch-independent parts are in texlive_texmf. You can install the texmf packages on any arch, just make sure they match the texlive_base you're using. It's not immediately obvious from the packages themselves, but you can 'pkg_add -f <pkgname>' and look at the @arch line, or look for PKG_ARCH=* in the ports Makefile (e.g. print/texlive/texmf/Makefile). Note that snapshot package builds aren't synchronized between arch (it takes some ~= 2 days to build, others ~= 3 months) so you won't always find a matching set of packages if you do things this way, but in some cases it can be a big help. _______________________________________________ Openbsd-newbies mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.theapt.org/listinfo/openbsd-newbies
