Yes, it is, install-tl and tlmgr are perl scripts. >> 3. TeX Live ships with its own portable FreeBSD i386/amd64 xz and wget >> binaries and install-tl/tlmgr use them.

Many other programs are out of date, TeX Live 2011 was released a year ago. The versions distributed with TL releases match together well. The safest options for TL2011 users is to use xindy distributed with TL2011. More notes/questions: * You could add x11-toolkits/p5-Tk as a run dependency. tlmgr has a nice GUI; actually it's very inconvenient to use it without gui. * Since this port leaves full TeX Live system installed, users should use tlmgr to update their packages and scripts. Two questions in this respect: a) what will happen with /var/db/ports/ info? b) it's not a good idea to run tlmgr gui as root. Maybe to offer an option with SUID Bit, as in sysutils/xcdroast? -- Nikola Lečić = Никола Лечић fingerprint : FEF3 66AF C90E EDC3 D878 7CDC 956D F4AB A377 1C9B ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
