Comment (by dliessi):

 Replying to [comment:9 mojca]:
 > Are you sure that the script checks for `uname -p`? That sounds stupid
 to me, but it's also true that it might not have seen any changes for
 years and nobody bothered.

 I'd like to resume the work on texlive-texdist, starting with fixing the
 problem of the architecture detection in the texdist script (maybe with
 your help).
 Then I'd like texlive-texdist to install also the texdist script along
 with the directory structure.

 I sent email to Richard Koch some days ago asking whether a public
 repository of the texdist script is avaliable, where I could file bug
 reports and provide patches and from where I could instruct the Portfile
 to download and install the script.
 He hasn't replied yet, but in the meantime I saw that you set up
 [https://github.com/TeXLive-M/TeXDist this repository], which contains the
 texdist script, originally by Gerben Wierda and licensed (apparently) as
 BSD.
 Is this a new "official" public location for the texdist script (even
 though the description of the repository says "legacy Macs")?
 Is there any other public repository?
