Hi People,

I have written a simple port which is in essence a wrapper around the texlive installation script. It also builds (almost) all of the binaries from scratch.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Would anyone mind if this port was committed?

There are a number of issues. In particular there is no checksum calculated for install-tl-unx.tar.gz because I suspect that it changes very often.

Also the install-tl-xxxxxxxx script doesn't seem to have a capability to be run in batch mode. I hacked a way around this, but it could be easily broken if the script were to change in some unexpected way.

But it does build and install texlive in a fairly timely manner. And the result can be made into a (large) package using pkg_create.

Thanks, Stephen
