1 Christian,
2 if you follow the entire thread, you will notice that there is still no
3 working ebuild for TeXLive. Martin Ehmsen is the maintener of the ebuild
4 and he is trying to figure out how to split the package so updates would
5 be smoother and wouldn't require a lot of download in one time since the
6 TeXLive package is really huge. But now, there is a lack of developpers
7 for LaTeX in Gentoo as I understood.
