Re: texlive support in therion
Hi all!
I agree with Frank that texlive-base would have helped you. Could it be
that you meant texlive-latex-base (which needs tl-pdfetex)?
Anyway, putting texlive-pdfetex into the build-deps should work, and as
Frank mentioned, for the experimental packages it will be back at
texlive-base-bin.
