  • [gentoo-dev] [PATCH 0/2] texlive eclass updates, in preperation of TeX

    From Florian Schmaus@21:1/5 to All on Tue Jan 16 10:30:01 2024
    After negril and I worked for the past months on the TeX Live 2023
    bump, it is now time to submit the eclass changes to the mailing list
    for review.

    Note that we tried to keep the changes to the eclasses to a minimum.
    There are many more places where the code of the eclasses could be
    improved. But bumping TeX Live is already a delicate matter and we do
    not want to add more distraction from the actual changes to keep the
    changes manageable and reviewable.

    Once TeX Live 2023 hits ::gentoo, we will iteratively work on revising
    the code of the eclasses.

    Update the texlive eclasses for the upcoming TeX Live 2023 bump. This
    includes general cleanup of the eclasses, e.g., reducing the scope of variables.

    Notably changes include that installation of the TeX Live distribution
    changes from /usr/share/texmf to /usr/share/texmf-dist, which is the
    correct place, according to upstream.

    For good reason, eapi-dosym.eclass doesn't override package manager
    commands, and the texlive eclasses shouldn't do that either.

    Does it even work? dosym8 calls dosym, so wouldn't redefining dosym in
    terms of dosym8 cause an endless loop?

    So, either add an EAPI conditional where dosym8 is currently used (I see
    only one place), or define dosym8 as an alias for dosym in EAPI 8.

    Are any of these packages mirror-restricted? If you visit ctan in a
    browser, the download links it presents are via mirrors.ctan.org. I
    think that would be considered the "primary download location" in
    satisfaction of

    https://devmanual.gentoo.org/ebuild-writing/variables/index.html#third-party-mirrors

    We already mirror everything onto Gentoo infrastructure (unless it's mirror-restricted!), so I think it would be simpler to avoid the
    indirection here and simply use mirrors.ctan.org.

    Anyway, thanks you for this usually thankless work on TeX.
