Ticket #12913 – Description
initial v22 1 The tetex port should be replaced somehow. 1 The tetex port should be replaced somehow. [[br]] 2 2 The tetex distribution is dead, i.e., it's former maintainer has stopped maintaining it. 3 3 4 4 There are 2 issues: 5 1. Many people on the mac install some other TeX distribution. For instance I have chosen TeXLive, which is sort of an "official" distro. It works well.6 2. Since most non-macports tex distibutions bring their "own" directory hierarchy, and since a tex distro takes almost 1 GB of disk space, I think it is really too much of a waste of space to have a second, "parallel" tex installation by macports.5 1.
