[oi-dev] texlive package

[stes@PANDORA.BE]

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/texlive/2020 directory to /usr/bin.
So that you get the /usr/bin/tex, /usr/bin/latex etc.

Another way could be to use:

  pkg install latex

which is built on the build server by the texlive framework;

The build server can run the TeX installer on the prototype area (as build user).

There still is a pkgmogrify error but the manifest could be more or less OK:

 components/text/latex/Makefile
 components/text/latex/latex.p5m
 components/text/latex/latex.profile
 components/text/latex/manifests/sample-manifest.p5m
 components/text/latex/texlive.profile
 make-rules/texlive.mk

where in the latex directory the texlive.profile is used for the install-tl.

This way it only downloads the required components, in order to get a small latex package.
