Re: tetex3

Any suggestions as to how I handle this incompatibility will be very helpful.

One compatibility note: DO NOT install the distributed texmf tree over an
existing older texmf tree. There have been many changes in the directory
structure this time and you'll end up with duplicates, obsolete files etc.

The ONLY way that I recommend is to make a clean new installation without
any other trees first. If all works, you can just add your additional
tree(s) to the TEXMF variable before or after the TEXMFMAIN setting in
the installed texmf.cnf file.

In order to do this, do the following AFTER THE INSTALLATION:
First locate the file using
  kpsewhich texmf.cnf
Then, edit the definition of the TEXMF variable. The expression on the
right side of the "=" sign is a "brace expression", i.e. a list of values
enclosed by braces and separated by a comma.

To add for example /my/fancy/texmf-dir to the list, you should could change:
  TEXMF = {...!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFDIST}
into
  TEXMF = {...!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFDIST,/my/fancy/texmf-dir}
(The ... mean some omitted data).

Re: tetex3

Late again... story of my life

Here is the pkgbuild for tetex 3.0 (edited)

pkgname=tetex
pkgver=3.0
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc='TeX typesetting program'
url='ftp://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/unix/teTeX/current/distrib/'
license=''
depends=('libpng' 'x-server')
makedepends=()
conflicts=()
replaces=()
backup=()
install=
source=(nom ftp://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/unix/teTeX/current/distrib/tetex-src.tar.gz 
ftp://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/unix/teTeX/current/distrib/tetex-texmf.tar.gz)
md5sums=('d7e030aa11e254e6a5455ca00dfdd6d4' '944a4641e79e61043fdaf8f38ecbb4b3'
         '11aa15c8d3e28ee7815e0d5fcdf43fd4')

build() {
  mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/usr/share/texmf-dist
  cd $startdir/src
  mv `./nom {nom,tetex*}` ../pkg/usr/share/texmf-dist
  cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-src-$pkgver
  ./configure --prefix=/usr --datadir=$startdir/pkg/usr/share 
              --disable-multiplatform --without-texinfo --without-dialog 
              --with-system-zlib --with-system-pnglib --with-system-ncurses
  make all || return 1
  make prefix=$startdir/pkg/usr texmf=$startdir/pkg/usr/share/texmf install
  rm -R $startdir/pkg/usr/share/texmf-dist/doc
}

You can download the package.  It turns out that if you add the last line to remove the html documentation, the package shrinks from 100+MB to 49+MB.

I've LaTeXed and pdfLaTeXed my latest algebra homework and my senior honors report, and everything came out fine.  I'll be posting the news of this on New Packages.

Re: tetex3

Is out for about 2 weeks...I's flagged as old..
Can somebody with a FAST connection buld the package?
I tried yesterday, downloaded tetex-src-3.0.tar.gz (12.7Mb), but when I saw tetex-texmf-3.0.tar.gz is 90Mb :? , I gave up.

twoo weeks is hardly a long time but if you so impatient for it instead of cluttering up the forum with yet more versions of existing packages I suggest you just email the maintainer of tetex to find  out what the delay is.

Why even email when there is a nice and easy way to flag a package out of date on the main archlinux site?

Re: tetex3

Working on this one now, thanks for the PKGBUILD, we couldn't get it done good without it somehow (Xentac and I both spent quite some hours on it )
