Hi ports@ and Simon(cc'd as requested), I have been working on this port today, so heres an update (and a problem):
- Regarding dialog writing out of it's prefix; That was my fault. I was wrong to do this: --bindir=/usr/local . Aplogies for that. - I have verified that "gnu dest" is required. Never mind. - I now have something that build a pacakge, but something is broken. It appears that something has understood the fake root, but also not at the same time. That makes no sense, so allow me to explain: # ls bin info man share # pwd /usr/ports/mystuff/texlive_base/w-texlive_base-2007/fake-i386/usr/ports/mystuff/texlive_base/w-texlive_base-2007/fake-i386/usr/local Yikes, thats odd. And ports knows this. It tells me so: Bogus element outside of base: /usr/ports/mystuff/texlive_base/w-texlive_base-2007/fake-i386/usr/local/share/texmf/dvipdfm/dvipdfmx.cfg (etc etc........ many many similar lines) Heres the Makefile I have so far (again i stress this is nowhere near complete): # $OpenBSD$ COMMENT= "Texlive LaTeX distribution (base)" DISTNAME= texlive_base-2007 PKGNAME= texlive_base-2007 CATEGORIES= print HOMEPAGE= http://tug.org/texlive/ MAINTAINER= Edd Barrett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> WANTLIB= m X11 ICE freetype Xt pthread c Xext fontconfig \ Xp Xpm SM Xmu z ncurses Xaw PERMIT_PACKAGE_CDROM= Yes PERMIT_PACKAGE_FTP= Yes PERMIT_DISTFILES_CDROM=Yes PERMIT_DISTFILES_FTP= Yes MASTER_SITES= http://students.dec.bournemouth.ac.uk/ebarrett/distfiles/ EXTRACT_SUFX= .tar.bz2 #BUILD_DEPENDS= #RUN_DEPENDS= ???

Ofcourse I was wrong.) Does anyone know otherwise? - Now I am downloading the HUGE texlive dvd so I can get the texmf tree. I am starting to think about how to package this. I reckon I should be able to make a tarball and make a do-install script to move its contents into fake. Is there a better way? I am aware that theres a few shell commands that must be run to make 'ls-R' and the format files. If I were to put these in a post-build target for example, would that work? It seems odd to have a separate pkg for the format files, as you really do need them! Again correct me if I am wrong, but as far as I know pdflatex, latex, pdfetex and friends all need a correspoding (platform dependent) fmt file. Thanks for reading my rather long email. It was not supposed to be all that huge. -- Best Regards Edd
