Hello, ** Arno Gaboury [2012-07-31 10:23:15 +0200]:
Dear list,
I use Texlive + Texmaker to write some documents. I can't find an easy and solid way to install new packages from CTAN.Package tlmgr from AUR couldn't compil on my box and will not do the job.Installing manually new packages doesn't seem to be a good idea and is not very straightforward.
Thank you for any advice.
Just two question: 1. did you read the Wiki? [[https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Texlive]] 2. what package are you wanted to install?

-- Yes I read the WIKI maybe 5 times, and other documents. I was unable to makepkg texlive-localmanager-git. I wanted a tool to manage packages from CTAN. The package I wanted is <specfont>. It is included in Texlive 2012, but doesn't work. When \usepackage{specfront}, Texmaker returns an error. Btw, it is not a great deal, but other users have trouble too with the AUR Texlive Local Manager. Is is same as what is called <tlmgr>?
Regards.
In Xanadu did Kubla Khan A stately pleasure dome decree: Where Alph, the sacred river, ran Through caverns measureless to man Down to a sunless sea. So twice five miles of fertile ground With walls and towers were girdled round: And there were gardens bright with sinuous rills, Where blossomed many an incense-bearing tree; And here were forest ancient as the hills, Enfolding sunny spots of greenery. -- S.T. Coleridge, "Kubla Kahn"
