I've created a ticket [1] requesting TeXmacs' dependency be updated
from teTeX to texLive. But in light of recent emails to the list about
teTeX failing to build on Leopard (which I hope to be running soon), I
think the teTeX port itself should be reconsidered. It is no longer
being maintained upstream, and new releases have been discontinued
since May 2006. The author of teTeX even suggests that users move on
to using texLive. So I think it would be wise to evaluate the
inclusion of, and dependencies on, teTeX.

pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it
is magnetic to the corruptible. Such people have a tendency to become
drunk on violence, a condition to which they are quickly addicted."
