#161: Make texlive install more quickly.------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
Reporter: wdc | Owner:
Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: minor | Keywords:
------------------------+--------------------------------------------------- The install of texlive performs activities such as
mktexlsr
updmap-sys
as every package is installed rather than setting a trigger to perform
them once at the end of all package installs.
This causes the texlive install to take far longer than it ideally should.
It would be nice if we could help the upstream debian integrator of
texlive to produce a more efficient install.
Broder has also cooked up a hack to do some triggerizing:
/mit/broder/Public/debathena-triggerize-texlive_1.0.tar.gz
Consensus is that we'd prefer to work with upstream rather than having our
own local hack.
