Ticket #17286 (closed enhancement: fixed)
RFE: pdfjam can also work with pTeX.

| Port: | pTeX texlive |
Description (last modified by blb@…) (diff)
The port pdfjam cannot be installed at the same time that the port pTeX.
I guess pdfjam should depend on TexLive OR pTeX.
Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: Image error: /opt/local/share/texmf-dist/bibtex/bst/adrconv/adrconv.bst is being used by the active pTeX port. Please deactivate this port first, or use the -f flag to force the activation. Error: The following dependencies failed to build: texlive texlive_base texlive_texmf-full texlive_texmf-minimal Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

If pdfjam works with any of the TeX ports, the dependency can be changed to something like bin:tex:texlive.
comment:3 Changed 5 years ago by jjstickel@…
I think that pdfjam just requires pdftex. Can someone test that pdfjam works with the other TeX ports (is it just pTeX)?

According to the web page of PDFjam http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/statistics/staff/academic/firth/software/pdfjam/#prereq the only pre-requisites are:
- A working, up-to-date installation of pdfTeX (including pdflatex and an up-to-date copy of pdftex.def)
- A working installation of the LaTeX package pdfpages (version 0.2e or later)
It is reasonable to assume that they are provided with pTeX.

I've attached a patch to make the suggested dependency change. It still works fine with texlive installed, as expected. I haven't tested to see what happens if installed with no exiting tex dependency, i.e. what does it pull for the dependency, nor have I tested it with pTeX.
comment:6 Changed 5 years ago by milosh@…
There was once agreement on using the following dependency scheme:
path:${prefix}/bin/pdflatex:texlive
Well it seems not so many ports use it in the end. However, it prevents a possibly erroneous installation of tex outside macports to be accepted.

I am not very knowledgeable about dependency management in MacPorts. I'll go along with whatever is recommended.
