Hi,

some users need recent TeX packages.
These users install TeXLive via tlmgr either for every user, or system
wide.
We are not able at the moment to provide a full set of TeX packages in
the Gentoo tree, which are less than a year old. Tlmgr users know how
many updates they get every week.

In a system wide installation one could add the list of provided
packages to package.provided and other tools, which depend on the
specific LaTeX packages can be installed properly.

What is the best way to continue without package.provided?
Should we prepare a virtual package for virtual/tlmgr and rewrite the
dependencies in the way, that either virtual/latex-base or virtual/tlmgr
can satisfy a package?

Any better ideas?

Best,
Jonas
