[gentoo-dev] TeX Live 2023 stabilization imminent

After many months of work, the stabilization of TeX Live 2023 is imminent.

I would first like to thank everyone who contributed, reported bugs, and 
helped to make this happen. Special thanks goes to negril for providing 
the initial prototype ebuilds that helped to get this going.

TeX Live 2023 got a major overhaul and new tooling. User-facing 
highlights include
- all binlinks and binscripts are now properly installed and in PATH
- all manpages are now installed (due to upstream's design, only if USE=doc)
- tlmgr is now available (but forced into user mode, as done by other 
distributions)
- the tlpdb is dynamically created, texdoc works (if USE=doc)

While I do not have any reason to believe that there are remaining 
issues lurking in TeX Live 2023, I would like to use this as opportunity 
to encourage advanced users to switch to TeX Live 2023 right now. Please 
report issues that come up.

The re-keywording of TeX Live 2023 is ongoing in
                      https://bugs.gentoo.org/932752.
Unfortunately two stable arches are lacking: arm and hppa. It would be 
great If the respective arch teams could prioritize the keywording. 
Otherwise, the arches may missing out on the upcoming stabilization request.

Hi Flow, I went ahead and started reviewing this bug for the remaining 
arches.  However when I ran it, I discovered that tests do not seem to run on 
the 2023 version, where they were previously being run on the 2021 version.  
In particular, I was trying to identify if https://bugs.gentoo.org/802672 was 
still present or not.  Are there any extra steps needed in order to get tests 
to run on the 2023 version?  If this could be looked at I can definitely get 
the remaining arches keyworded.

Thanks for pointing this out.

Looks like we accidentally broke src_test() in the 2023 versions. Now 
fixed. All, but the three zapped tests, are green for me (or 
automatically skipped).
