[arch-general] TeXLive 2011 pretest
TeXLive 2011 is in pre-testing phase. Experimental builds of texlive-bin will be found in http://pkgbuild.com/~remy/texlive-experimental/ Current issues are: - no install script for texlive-bin where it should run "mktexlsr" and "fmtutil-sys --all" - dangling symlinks, due to new scripts appearing in texlive-* - segfaulting luatex, so I guess I'll keep with compiling it separately - no biblatex-biber. TeXLive only provide a binary that bundles Perl + all dependencies. I plan to adopt biblatex-biber from AUR for that and add it as an optional dependency of texlive-core. However, it comes with a very unusual set of dependencies. We can only blame François for being a great Perl enthusiast. Once upstream seems stable (they say ConTeXt is currently broken), and the PKGBUILDs reach a final form, packages will hit [testing]. Regards, -- Rémy.

I have pushed packages to [testing]. Some notes: * on installation, fmtutil-sys will spew a nerror saying that "eptex" format was not generated. I guess it means eptex will not work unless someone finds a fix. * biblatex-biber is not packaged, you can use the package from AUR in the meanwhile. * other issues I mentioned are closed, except maybe ConTeXt. Don't hesitate to report any problems. Rémy.

I have a very minor issue. The .install functions are a bit too verbose: (25/26) upgrading texlive-science [-----------------------------------------------] 100%
texlive: saving updmap.cfg as /tmp/tmp.uLoaP7TOez... texlive: regenerating updmap.cfg (custom additions shoud go into /etc/texmf/web2c/updmap-local.cfg texlive: updating the filename database... mktexlsr: Updating /etc/texmf/ls-R... mktexlsr: Updating /usr/share/texmf/ls-R... mktexlsr: Updating /usr/share/texmf-dist/ls-R... mktexlsr: Updating /var/lib/texmf/ls-R... mktexlsr: Done. texlive: updating the fontmap files with updmap... done.
The second line (and maybe the first one) seem to be useful but the others don't seem to be necessary. You might want to change that in svn for the next update. Eric
anyone got problems with texlive 2011 usage so far?

I've just tested quickly, pdflatex compiles my internship report correctly (80 pages, using 15 packages). -- Hyacinthe

I'm getting a problem with synctex, its don't work with tl 2011 for me, e.g.: ---------------2011-------------- % pdflatex -synctex=1 sample2e This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.3-1.40.12 (TeX Live 2011/Arch Linux) [...] SyncTeX written on sample2e.synctex.gz.

Don't know if this is a packaging or upstream bug (or user bug =]), what you think?
