Description
As per change r68036, can we please add a docs variant, off by default, to avoid requiring all of [much swearing deleted] texlive? That stuff is just huge, and I already have texlive installed (not through MacPorts).
Seriously - this is a major dependency that really is not needed, in my opinion.
BTW - I have tex in my $PATH, so I'm presuming that depends_build bin:tex:texlive should find it, but it does't, and hence my upgrade attempts to build texlive-common.

Replying to jmr@…:
With the new texlive ports, you can probably depend on the subset that you actually need instead of pulling in the whole metaport. It would still be better as a variant of course.
This should work, but it's probably still going to be a pretty large dependency.
See also #25203 about plans for a tex metaport that either texlive or MacTeX should be able to satisfy.

takeshi, can you provide some insight into why r68036 was needed?
I just carefully adjusted my path to eliminate anything TeX in it and verified a build and install +gcc44 with the attached change to the portfile.
No problems installing and activating. A careful check of the log showed that no tex-related files were used in the build and install.

Oh yes - almost forgot - I added a missing dependency to szip... :-)

Sorry for slow response. I don't remember why I added dependency to tex (only a month ago!) I don't think you need to tex or texinfo to install docs. szip is only required with hdf4/hdf5-18 (via netcdf4 variants) . szlib should go to these variants. committed in r69355.
With the new texlive ports, you can probably depend on the subset that you actually need instead of pulling in the whole metaport. It would still be better as a variant of course.
