I think 'texlive-basic' needs to be added to the 'provides', given recent changes to the Arch packages.

@gothicVI I added you as the co-maintainer. I also applied your patch. Thank you!

You could also make me a co-maintainer and I'd push the changes.

Are there plans to update this package to the 2023 release?

bryango commented on 2022-12-16 16:55 (UTC)

It would be nice to add tk in optdepends for GUI support. See https://github.com/archlinux/aur/compare/texlive-installer...bryango:aur:texlive-installer. Tested personally!

Are there plans to update this package to the 2021 release?

@alex_culliere The texlive version of dvisvgm is 2.9.1 now.

$ /usr/local/texlive/2020/bin/x86_64-linux/dvisvgm -V
dvisvgm 2.9.1

alex_culliere commented on 2020-03-03 15:47 (UTC)

Sorry, it's my first time reporting an issue for an AUR package. Let me clarify: Current installation comes with both Ghostscript v9.50 and dvisvgm v2.6.3, but they're incompatible. dvisvgm is still usable, but since it's lacking PostScript support due to Ghostscript being too new, to a very limited degree. I tried manually upgrading dvisvgm to 2.8 by building it from sources, which supports latests Ghostscript, but it didn't work as I don't have much experience with it.

Please let me know if I'm reporting this in the wrong place, or is there a way to customize the installation either with upgraded dvisvgm package or an older version of Ghostscript. Thanks in advance and thank you for maintaining this!

alex_culliere: Huh!?

alex_culliere commented on 2020-03-02 13:29 (UTC)

Hi, vorbote Current distribution of dvisvgm is broken due to incorrect dependency on Ghostscript.

$ dvisvgm -V1                                                                
dvisvgm 2.6.3
-------------
brotli:      1.0.7
clipper:     6.2.1
fontforge:   20160721
freetype:    2.9.1
Ghostscript: 9.50
kpathsea:    6.3.1
potrace:     1.15
xxhash:      0.6.5
zlib:        1.2.11

dvisvgm got the support of Ghostscipt v9.50 only since version 2.8 (https://dvisvgm.de/News/ 25 October 2019)
