 test/patch each ports using tetex so that they can use texlive, being careful
 about dependency chain so that we do not end on simethinh requiering texlive
 depending on something requiering tetex open PR about them, possibly mailing me
 the pr number so I can coordinate the switch, they I ll commit all of the at
 once.

 some might be tricky, I think I will open a meta pr to link all pr related to
 texlive in it to easier migration, thanks bugzilla we can do that now.

 Once done deprecate all tetex only ports (the one that cannot be migrated)

 and finally do the switch.

 regards,
 Bapt
