1 Once ruby was emerged, texlive installed pretty much without any MAJOR
2 incident. On the #gentoo irc channel, the advice was received to unmask
3 ruby 1.9. There seems to be some variation in how this is done, but
4 that's basically all I needed to do.

14 I've installed texlive from upstream source various times, without any
15 major issue. It's a heck of a lot better than tetex used to be.

31 I did find it difficult to figure out how to install texlive on Gentoo this
32 time around, though. Seems a good howto is needed. This time around, I
33 bascially just started emerging (emerge texlive) and after all the bumps
34 and twists and turns, eventually I'd figured out that USE flags were
35 needed. I hadn't seen that at first, even though I've installed texlive
36 on Gentoo before, a couple or three years ago.
