Comment (by bruce.miller@…):
I have a question about having tex as a dependency. Some of my users
prefer MacTeX and complained that the Portfile installed texlive even
though
they already had a full (large) tex system that they preferred.
Is there a way to specify an "abstract" dependence on TeX so that texlive
would only be installed if there were *no* TeX system already installed?
As it turns out, TeX is an optional dependency for LaTeXML: it runs
without
it, but it makes much more sense to use it *with* TeX installed.
If there isn't an alternative way of depending on an abstract tex,
do you think it would be better to leave out that dependence entirely
and ask the user to pre-install texlive if they need it?
Thanks;
