Hello,

 Ports to replace print/*teTeX* with TeX Live 2012 are ready for
 testing.  Please note that this is not the final version and
 committing the new ones into the ports tree will go in the following
 phases:

  1. Commit print/texlive-full for full version of TeX Live.

  2. Update ports which depend on teTeX to make them possible to
     select teTeX or TeX Live.  teTeX by default at this phase.  Split
     TeX Live ports into smaller ones as necessary in parallel.

  3. Switch the default to TeX Live.

  4. Remove print/*teTeX*.

 The patch for phase 1 can be found at the following URL:

  http://people.allbsd.org/~hrs/FreeBSD/texlive-20130227-1.tar.gz

 This consists of the following ports:

  print/texlive-full
  print/texlive-base
  print/texlive-texmf
  print/tex-ptexenc
  print/xetex
  print/luatex
  devel/kpathsea
  devel/web2c

 Please try to install print/texlive-full.  The total size of the
 installed files will be ~3GB, so be careful of free space on your
 disk.  While these ports still include some rough edges, all bits of
 the TeX Live 2012 should be installed.  Note that they cannot coexist
 with the other TeX-related ports based on teTeX---this means you need
 to remove all of TeX-related ports first.  If you want a stable
 version, please wait for migration procedure which will be submitted
 in the end of phase 2.

 Non-English engines like pTeX also work but dviware (xdvi, dvips,
 dvipdfmx, ...) for them and non-standard font maps are not included
 (or activated) yet.  They will be added when updating the existing
 ports for the engine-specific versions of dviware.

 Some combinations of the ports on which TeX Live depends may lead to
 a build problem due to version mismatch.  If you notice build failure
 or something wrong with the behavior, please send a report to me
 directly via email.  Thank you.
