[oi-dev] TeX Live doc update

[stes@PANDORA.BE]

OK but the rolling release is some sort of release.

Also note that TeX Live definitely uses years like 2020, 2021 , 2022 as yearly releases.

I'm not sure what the /etc/release contents is,
but indeed I agree, if required the user should

   pkg update -f

before installing Perl Tk with

   pkg install tk-perl. 

That's just what I approximately had in mind when writing "OpenIndiana 2022 or higher".

Regards
David Stes
