Hi,

A while ago we had some ptex-related stuff in MacPorts which was completely unmaintained for years and we removed it after a while

No problem I think, almost all of them are now included (and improved) inside TeX Live ;-) I think standalone port of "makejvf" can also be removed.

(there's still a package ptex-sfmacros, whatever that one does).

In order to get a package for MacPorts, either someone needs to prepare a package and make a pull request, or someone needs to push one of existing macports contributors. It might be easy enough to create a package for one of us, I only need some URL with a tarball that will ideally not change with time. (In principle git could also work.) What would that URL be?

They are available at https://github.com/texjporg/jfontmaps/releases/tag/20180328.0 https://github.com/texjporg/cjk-gs-support/releases/tag/20180306.0

Is there any reason why these packages are not also distributed with upstream TeX Live or at least with MacTeX? This is not an either-or question, it could be distributed via both different channels.

TL does not distribute packages which require nonfree files; "ptex-fontmaps-macos" and "cjk-gs-integrate-macos" require macOS-bundled fonts (Hiragino TTC format etc.), so they cannot go to TL Dick, would you mind adding these packages into MacTeX?

Hi Mojca,

A Japanese user of TeX Live/MacPorts reported following issue:

* some Japanese macOS-specific packages (e.g. "ptex-fontmaps-macos" and "cjk-gs-integrate-macos") are not distributed with TeX Live; they are in TLContrib instead http://contrib.texlive.info/

* tlmgr cannot be executed on macports, so they cannot run $ tlmgr repository add therefore, they cannot install packages with macports.

I guess this issue can be solved by adding these TLContrib packages into port, but I'm not sure who can sort this (as I don't use macports); I'll be glad if you can point me in the right direction.

Thank you in advance -- Hironobu
