Notes on TeX related ebuilds

Dependencies
We have two virtual ebuilds in the tree which consumers of tex/latex should depend on (see also ).


 * 1)  (required in most cases)

Run time dependencies for packages like TeX editors and GUIs
If a package requires (La)TeX at runtime, but we do not know what the user wants to do with it exactly, it should depend on.

Examples:.

Run time dependencies for packages with specific TeX dependencies
If a package requires specific TeX packages at runtime, like in a music score editor, which renders a score with LaTeX, it should depend on plus the specific packages.

Examples:. TODO: FILEBOX

Build time dependencies for packages like PDF manuals
If a package requires TeX only at build time, it should depend on and if required also depend on specific tex packages.

Examples: and.
