Yes, tetex is not maintained anymore. But the cygwin people have not stopped maintaining their tetex packages, have they? > Are there any plans to adopt the texlive package for cygwin?

For me too. But it took a while on Gentoo Linux to make texlive available. I think, it's not that easy and will take a lot of time. So we'll have to wait. For the time being, tetex is quite well. I didn't noticed any advantage of texlive after i switched. (Some more packages/fonts are included - the rest is pretty the same - maybe some bugs are fixed?) --------------enigCCCD5BECB6514AF55F539273 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (Cygwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHhqhu7Ww7FjRBE4ARAv93AKCCeSTXcamP47VR0RDu4/VOTG+GWACgqAuf Qk039Xk0jFIJuP5zWNWlFjQ= =UqD1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigCCCD5BECB6514AF55F539273--
