[gentoo-dev] Proper dependencies for TeX related ebuilds

Hi,

I just read
https://bugs.gentoo.org/625908#c5
and saw that we do not have a good documentation on this and  many
packages in the tree ship with strange tex dependencies.

I started a documentation on our wiki
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Notes_on_TeX_related_ebuilds

Please help to complete it.

-- 
Best,
Jonas

Well, your example (inkscape) is wrong: dep on tl-core is *never*
sufficient and certainly does not provide a working latex command. First
step to get it right is to use the already existing virtuals
(virtual/{la,}tex-base).
