Subject: Installation: TeX-Live
Date: Sun, 19 Mar 2006 19:03:20 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <a1a15e300603191603o3e4b890fl1ee4e32b1efb98c8@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
i resolved my problem before about accessing the wiki by making a copy
of everything while at a friends house. So any information leading to
a conclusion is at least a week old.
I am on a linux install (SuSE 10.0) and the wiki indicates to install
ConTeXt in the location '/usr/TeX/texmf'.
Even before this step it says to setup the fonts for ConTeXt use:
cd /usr/TeX/texmf/context/data
sudo texfont type-tmf.dat --en=texnansi --fontroot=/usr/TeX/texmf
--install --makepath
But TeXLive 2005 (where I did install ConTeXt - but want to update it)
that I am using does not have a 'texmf/context' directory. However,
there is a 'texmf-dist/context' directory.
I need some guidance to make sure this is the proper directory or not.
The only other thing I note in the TeXLive docs:
For texmf:
This tree (texmf) is for the support files and documentation of the
programs in TeX Live. It does not include the TeX formats and packages
themselves.
Another criteria: everything that can be classified automatically by
Fabrice's tpm-factory goes in texmf-dist. If not, it goes in texmf.
For texmf-dist:
This tree (texmf-dist) is for the formats (plain, LaTeX, ConTeXt, and
all the rest) and all the packages, together with their documentation
and sources. Most everything used in day-to-day TeXing, except the
binaries themselves.
Another criteria: everything that can be classified automatically by
Fabrice's tpm-factory goes in texmf-dist (or texmf-doc). If not, it
goes in texmf.
And yet another: texmf-dist should be distribution-independent, so that,
in theory, it could be used by distributions other than TeX Live. So,
no web2c/kpathsea-specific files.
Thank you for all assistance,
Jeffrey Drake
