TeX Live: Installing packages from CTAN
I would like to install some TeX packages from CTAN but the print/texlive port doesn't seem to install a usable
tlmgr or texlua . Do any OpenBSD TeX users have a recipe for doing this?

All of the OpenBSD TeX Live packages are installed on my system so that doesn't seem to be the problem. I found
tlmgr.pl in /usr/local/share/texmf/scripts/texlive but it doesn't work and I suspect it isn't intended to be used on OpenBSD.Just to keep things moving forward, my current solution is to download packages manually and unzip them into $HOME/texmf/. It seems to work well enough.Example: Code:
cd $HOME/texmf/ wget http://mirrors.ctan.org/install/macros/latex/contrib/hyperref.tds.zip unzip hyperref.tds.zip kpsewhich hyperref.sty /home/hanzer/texmf/tex/latex/hyperref/hyperref.sty |

I haven't yet needed any texlive packages not included with the OpenBSD packages. Incidentally, Edd Barret and Stuart Henderson were just discussing texmf updates on ports@, and I thought the conversation might interest you even though it does not address this particular issue. http://marc.info/?t=139173375900003&r=1&w=2

The only fancy thing which you can't use right now on OpenBSD (at least not easily) is PythonTeX. If you convince my employer to let me hack on PythonTeX or pay my wages for a week you will see the port. Last edited by Oko; 8th February 2014 at 03:04 AM. |
