Not ideal, but better than what we have now ;) >=20 TeX is like black magic to me. The only thing I have to add is that Debian "compiles" (or however it works) as a post-install hook, and they have a DD who also works on TeX itself. However, as a binary distribution, they have no incentive to break it up into smaller pieces. Gentoo might be better with that, but I have no idea. --=20 Efraim Flashner =D7=90=D7=A4=D7=A8=D7=99=D7=9D = =D7=A4=D7=9C=D7=A9=D7=A0=D7=A8 GPG key =3D A28B F40C 3E55 1372 662D 14F7 41AA E7DC CA3D 8351 Confidentiality cannot be guaranteed on emails sent or received unencrypted --5QAgd0e35j3NYeGe Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCgAdFiEEoov0DD5VE3JmLRT3Qarn3Mo9g1EFAl2uyrMACgkQQarn3Mo9 g1EEQw/8DatGe4P86JGMWQkJVG5rgBFfGr88X1bcvmUYEfaU8UjzfyQtD7u02tzt 12+LSfNMjGBEMEhsRcVH1uHYiSYWn44ZXbMD2jtXkv61aacbpm26Hk4pCF7eau/f iEGg0KGHH1ZCdRxqXXVEpICdMfXrRXm6QqxYxpbofP56gMA43EO77JJbbybocyu3 /oaQ68cJ1EdqZId0YjC+7BN/czDdbFzyr6Lg0muJUvvoTzcb9/ZrZajm12TXIW17 B8v2dw7LvO1NKDvXjB5NCywMZU4PTzpFPLU7Amc6HTi7Mpe8F9NGWi5eUpsveymx 8XWGsj4oKJ+OaBpHufylylVTBcusU9XgzzQ1D9NzxqL/EsBqBcOtGm46NOXkh1DU H1BRY96zjwi4KlDsLIzPUigcaumKGDxtj5hflZkzvrcUqogfpj+KAX71eWyJEuRy w9bIaS8CkpTx88KzAmtfedePQnIDuF7pDkbYfe+pnS6Nks9F/UGLdlu32XzUolFs knjVr0icktZeBNcHF9kI/qGY/60KuAemF1khB33VzasOmVPT6l53pRvtFivHbnm4 Fs4AjVQAUVEMc0wsuiHTtiugXDnefnjlqdWsPXuFlyieGins2/kpOPgZNMrMjUgD zqyuXprxlkxCBhHnXscEtkgbeECCBteZE98gejN3XjnM1Ys6i+c= =4AC7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --5QAgd0e35j3NYeGe--
