I don't particularly care about updating it constantly either, but I do want to isolate it from the rest of my system so it doesn't clutter it up with a load of random stuff. For that I use a personal project called pkg_bundle [1]. It creates standalone and "relocatable" package installs of many large bits of OpenBSD software. $ pkg_bundle texlive_texmf-full # cp -R texlive_texmf-full /opt/texlive $ /opt/texlive/bin/pdflatex path/to/file.tex There is a lot to LaTeX so likely there is a lot missing. I tend to only need to expose pdflatex for much of my uses. [1] https://codeberg.org/kpedersen/pkg_bundle
