Hi there!  I've added a recent pretest of teTeX to portage.  It's masked
by both ~arch and package.mask so as not to create confusion.

Give it a shot, test it out, let me know if it works for you, and what
you'd change given the chance.  It contains an uptodate version of
dvipdfm, as well as lots of other features.  There's a changelog
somewhere...

I just tried for sparc architecture; back up tetex and then
ebuild tetex-20030112.ebuild fetch unpack compile install

(goes OK)

ebuild tetex-20030112.ebuild qmerge

Can't find config file for dvipdfm, and then a simple test:

latex I,R,andD
This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.4.3)
(Fatal format file error; I'm stymied)

where "I,R,andD.tex" is a normal LaTeX file.

Then,

emerge /usr/portage/packages/All/tetex-1.0.7-r11.tbz2

recovers nicely.

So, it doesn't work for me, but this failure is so basic that I must be
doing something silly?  I can work with you some on this, as long as
the install is reversible.

Regards,
