I discovered that texlive-bin depends on the xorg-server package which seems strange for a terminal programme. Why this dependency and how can it be removed (if possible without breaking LaTeX)?
I think the reason is why at example xdvi make no sense without X but on the other side for you having X on the server make no sense. Comment: I have X on my server too instead it runs 99,99% of the time on runvlevel 3.-) There is a thread (http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=35991) on the home page where the maintainer can recognize such wishes better. But give him time to have a nice Chrismas with his family.-)
I ask because I'm installing an Archlinux server and want the possibility of compiling my documents through SSH no matter what computer I'm on. Is it possible to circumvent the installation of xorg-server?
A short workaround could be possible if you take the PKGBUILD from abs and make you own package with having only one line for building it: pkgname=xorg-server ... build() { /bin/true } ... But this is not tested by mine and if you be not in hurry ask on the thread from above if it is possible. See you, Attila
