[gentoo-dev] Re: Future of tetex

[Gabriel Lavoie <glavoie@mutehq.net>]

Christian,
	if you follow the entire thread, you will notice that there is still no 
working ebuild for TeXLive. Martin Ehmsen is the maintener of the ebuild 
and he is trying to figure out how to split the package so updates would 
be smoother and wouldn't require a lot of download in one time since the 
TeXLive package is really huge. But now, there is a lack of developpers 
for LaTeX in Gentoo as I understood.
