| 1 | | The point remains, that MacPorts should never touch files installed using a different package manager. This leads to all sorts of unexpected behavior. For example, let us assume you install dblatex +mactex, that puts a couple of files into your `/usr/local/texlive`, the enduser uses whatever tool manages that installation to update that installation to a newer version, the user uninstalls dblatex. Suddenly those files are gone, while the metadata potentially kept by the MacTeX package management expects them to be present and at a certain version. |
