New review comment by fosslinux on void-packages repository

Comment:
TeX only officially supports https://tug.org/tds/tds.html the TDS. Its kinda dumb IMO; they expect **all** things, including its scripts such as tlmgr, to be in its own self-contained tree which doesn't adhere to FHS. Hence they by default expect binaries to be in this tree. All Linux distributions that I know of ignore the TDS for binaries and adhere to `/usr/bin` for binaries as per the FHS. This is why `texlive-bin` works, it has the TDS in `/opt/texlive/YYYY`.
> Doesn't this mean that this is a known usecase, and that they are ready for it?
The line you quotes pertains to the line after that I missed in my code excerpt, about `TEXMFROOT` (which it expects its own scripts to be).
> Why not? We are the ones putting the script there.
Mm, I guess. I'll change it.
