16 Lastrite is probably better in this case. Not much has changed recently and
17 texlive is current afaik.

21 Done, also tex@g.o. (Gimme more Bugzilla mails...) :)

30 I see the separate ebuilds more as a temporary workaround for the few really
31 needing bleeding edge... and will happily remove them again when texlive-2011
32 is out. The natbib ebuild might even become obsolete with texlive-2010
33 already, have not checked yet. I think most people will be happy with the
34 texlive version, so we should keep it for simplicity.
35
36 Thanks for the tips with the ebuilds; I'll go ahead in the next days.
37
38 Best, Andreas
