Subject: Any MacTeX users here?
Date: Sat, 25 Jun 2011 20:09:11 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <BANLkTi=5xbw_q8_F3ZcxLi3tJb7VuXeqmQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hello,
I would like to have a rough estimate about the number of MacTeX users
that also use ConTeXt minimals (I use MacTeX for compiling LaTeX
documents and often also use it for a month or two ... until it starts
diverging too much with Minimals).
I'm testing a tiny script to create an entry in "TeX Distributions"
Preference Pane which would allow one to switch distributions with a
GUI (PrefPane has to be fixed first in order to enable proper
functionality). I'm particularly interested in PPC users as testers
since ConTeXt doesn't use universal binaries as MacTeX does.
I will first try to prepare a tiny script that would just create a new
entry for the Preference Pane (I have it ready, but it needs some
polishing). I hope that it will be possible to install the pane as a
standalone package once TeX Live 2011 is out, but at the moment one
will have to have it installed in order for this to work.
If you are only interested in using it, you may just leave me a note
off-list, so that I will have a rough estimate of interest. If you
would like to discuss some ideas, feel free to reply to the whole
mailing list.
One problem that I'm not sure about is how to treat multiple
installation on the same machine. The other one is the need for quick
switches between distributions without GUI (I have a script texdist in
/usr/local/bin, but I'm not sure if that one is up to date.)
The next step would be a GUI installer, but that is not going to
happen yet, at least not by me. (I'm thinking about it, but not for
the close future.)
Mojca
