New version latex-test-20240317 : In the previous version I had
assumed that kpsepath (part of TLCore) would always be present
when looking for TTF and OTF fonts, and failed with an error if
it was missing.
Testing a much smaller binary install yesterday showed it is NOT
always present - the only schemes containing it are medium and
full. Now fixed, my tests with e.g. basic plus the latexextra
and latexrecommended collections now run.
Also update the version in th comment re testing asymptote.
Since I am increasingly suggesting that anyone wanting to install
the binary might prefer to do it as a normal user, clarify that
root should not do any updates.
At the start of 'setting the PATH' explain why we do things like
this, and mention that we used to bootstrap the source build - that
is to give a clue if a reader decides they want to install ConTeXt
and LuaMetaTeX where I suggest doing a similar thing.
This is a large, but still intermediate commit for KDE6 (kf6 and plasma6).
These are the key changes:
Update kf6 dependencies.
Remove kuserfeedback (it is now a part of kf6).
Move libdbusmenu-qt to General Libraries. It is still needed for LXQt, but
will be remmoved when LXQt moves to Qt6 and LF6/Plasma6.
Made some changes to bluez to use &root;.
Commented out kmix, libkcddb, and k3b. These are still kf5 apps and would
require adding back most of kf5 to the book. It's easier to just wait for
these to be updated to qt6/kf6.
Removed references to the full qt5 package in LXQt packages. It mkes no sense
now that Qt6 is in the book to also build the full (deprecated) Qt5 package.
It may makes sense to just remove the full Qt5 package from th ebook now.
Renamed an internal referece from plasma5-build to just plasma-build in polkit
and mesa.
Upstream commit b16b19885c5383cd0499503617b98ceb188c898e seems
to fix obexd operation on non-systemd systems. Therefore we
shouldn't need the patch anymore.
Explain why context is not present.
In the the unlikely event that somebody wishes to build context
from source, link to my old comments in the 2023 ticket, and to
the source tags at github.
Also mention that first installing (only) context from the binary
sounds like the easiest way to do this - the way we used to use the
full binary to bootstrap the source build.
Change a lingering 'command' to 'parameter' in the explanations.
Replace ConTeXt with LuaLaTeX ininitial comment about what is
included - lualatex is commonly used, context is very niche.
Add a note for any future ConTeXt users.
Remove warning about the need to update 2023 lualatex etc.
Not yet installed, tested, or measured.
Texlive source: Fix up the tarball names, year, tarball names,
md5sums, sizes. Do not patch the source.
The links have not neen tested, and I have not yet attempted to
build this.
Note that in Linux 6.8.0 the output of dmesg | grep -e ... command has
been changed significantly. The LFS book is still using 6.7.x but trunk
is for development and in this dev cycle we'll definitely update to
Linux > 6.8.0.
