| 2022-11-29 | switch to fork (development) | Hans-Nikolai Viessmann | |
| I've created a fork of the original texlive-localmanager by Rémy Oudompheng (see https://gitlab.archlinux.org/remy/texlive-localmanager.git) which includes all of the previously applied patches (thank you to all contributors over the years!) with also a few new improvements in the works. As such, the '-git' release should be considered beta and only used for latest features and such. From now a stable versioned release is available at: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/tllocalmgr. | |||
| 2021-10-26 | improve error handling | Hans-Nikolai Viessmann | |
| * we now ignore any missing pkgs file, instead issueing a warning to the user to check upstream to have this fixed * we also properly check that a package actually exists in the tlpdb *before* trying to read its metadata. | |||
| 2020-12-02 | make missing 'pkgs' error non-fatal | Hans-Nikolai Viessmann | |
| tllocalmgr uses 'pkgs' files in order to get version information about what texlive/CTAN packages are installed on the system. For official texlive-* packages and some other ones this works fine, but a lot of AUR packages *do not* create the a 'pkgs' file. In this situation, tllocalmgr would fatal error out. This is a little extreme, though sensible as without a valid 'pkgs' file to parse for LaTeX package versions, tllocalmgr _might_ allow for packages to be installed which are already present on the machine. This however is _unlikly_ as when installing through pacman, we should hit into the FS integrity check, causing install to fail. Ideally we would want all texlive packages to always have a 'pkgs' file but that is unlikely. An alternative idea might be to create a pacman-hook to generate one if missing, but could be very tricky and time consuming. | |||
