Open cderv opened 3 years ago
On related note, I opened issues on the TinyTeX faq in https://github.com/rbind/yihui
Is the faq living there as I expect ? https://github.com/rbind/yihui/blob/master/content/tinytex/faq.md
Should I PR stuff in this repo ?
Yes and yes.
Great ! thanks for the confirmation :) I'll do that.
Should we update point 5 of the FAQ https://yihui.org/tinytex/faq/ so that it uses
install-bin-unix.sh
instead ofinstall-unx.sh
? ... I'll do that.
@cderv Any specific reason why this didn't happen yet? Just no time / forgotten?
I don't understand why two different Linux/Unix installation scripts for TinyTeX exist, i.e.
install-bin-unix.sh
install-unx.sh
that sources install-base.sh
.--admin --no-path
flags)Maybe you could shed some light on this? 🙂
No specific reason, it kind of was forgotten yes. Website needs to be updated
I don't understand why two different Linux/Unix installation scripts for TinyTeX exist, i.e.
Two scripts exist because there was no binary at first, and then we made binaries and a script, but the other one is still there for backward compatibility for anyone using it (and for whom the bundle is not good - we bundle through Github Action runners only)
Should we update point 5 of the FAQ https://yihui.org/tinytex/faq/ so that it uses
install-bin-unix.sh
instead ofinstall-unx.sh
?That way some default packages would be installed.
