 I am going through the many TeX-related ports to identify obsolete ones
 that install software also in TeXLive, to see if any of them should be
 removed and replaced by the corresponding texlive port. (See
 [http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-
 dev/2010-December/013506.html here] and
 [http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-
 dev/2010-December/013512.html here].)

 The luatex port seems like it might fit in this category, but I'm not
 sure. I see that the port provides v0.5.0, which is older than the 0.6.0
 in texlive. But I also don't understand how the port is supposed to be
 used, since it provides only the binaries and needs a separate texmf tree
 (what are you supposed to use for that?)

 Should we replace luatex with texlive-luatex, or is there a reason to keep
 it around as a separate port?
