The Hipster handbook has in its community contributed section now somes notes on TeXLive, which I submitted last week: http://docs.openindiana.org/handbook/community/texlive/index.html Although that this is not giving an IPS package that a system "pkg update" will update, it gives an interest

I'm creating a "pull request" for the OI documentation, for some notes on "TeX Live on OpenIndiana", which I've just written. TeX Live seems to be the most complete distribution, and the fact that it can be installed is of course excellent. The first step for a "TeXLive" package is documentat

One of the possible ways to install latex is : pkg install texlive (to get the meta-packages/texlive package) Then run install-tl --profile latex.profile where latex.profile is the profile for LaTeX. This has the nice feature that it is possible to make "symbolic links" from the /usr/t

I don't question the need to use IPS to deliver binaries; install-tl and TLMGR although they are in some sense a competing package manager, they are not necessarily a bad thing and 'competitor' to IPS. The reason why I packaged install-tl is to produce a LaTeX IPS package. So that I can do a

Another step may be to create a new addition to oi-userland. In the directory make-rules there are various .mk files. That build framework (oi-userland) can be extended with a texlive.mk set of rules. Those rules use the "install-tl" script for various profiles (minimal, basic, full etc.) to

The use of the TLMGR and TL package manager, may perhaps not be incompatible with IPS. I've added a pull request on github for a 'texlive' package: NAME (PUBLISHER) VERSIONIFO meta-packages/texlive (userland) 1.0-2020.0.1.1

The texlive package could be in the "meta-packages" folder. COMPONENT_NAME= texlive COMPONENT_FMRI= metapackages/texlive If the user then runs : pkg install texlive You will get the install-tl script from TUG (for the tlpkg and tlmgr). This then allows to run the installer for

Some people already said that they have their TeX packages; maybe they can contribute them. Also the Debian Linux "Sciences" team may have Perl scripts (or other scripts) to classify the files. Also for example at Slackware https://mirrors.slackware.com/slackware/slackware64-current/slackware6
