detex @2.8_1 error: implicit declaration of function 'BeginEnv', 'EndEnv' and 'SeparateList' ... is invalid in C99

[nasyxx (Nasy)]

I was trying to install texlive+full, but detex stopped it.

There are many errors like this:

Implicit declaration of function errors are new in Xcode 12. We should fix them, but until we do, if you want to avoid these kinds of problems, downgrade to Xcode 11 and/or the Xcode 11 version of the command line tools.

opendetex: New port, version 2.8.8

See: #61235

detex isn't developed anymore, but there is a fork called opendetex which is. I've added it to MacPorts now. Does that work as a replacement? If so, we can mark detex replaced_by opendetex and we can change the detex dependency in texlive-bin-extra to opendetex.

Thanks! I'll try opendetex first(I guess it will work!)

Yes, I think we should do this. I hadn't noticed before, but upstream texlive is already shipping opendetex as detex.

Yeah! I didn't feel any difference after using it these days. I think it can be replaced.
