TeX Live 2008 - bugs and updates
Please email bug reports or other comments to the tex-live mailing list. See the TeX Live home page for general information and
links.
- In 2008, the installer and the package manager can operate over the Internet. We
use the auto-redirecting mirror.ctan.org
by default; if you have problems downloading, please include the
actual url which was used in your report, otherwise nothing can
be done. You can explicitly choose a particular CTAN mirror
using the --location option to the programs.
- The pdftex binaries for sparc-solaris and powerpc-aix unfortunately may
crash when pdf images are included. New binaries have been installed in
the repository, and you can install them with
tlmgr update pdftex. Binaries on other systems,
notably i386-linux, universal-darwin, and win32, do not exhibit this
problem.
- ConTeXt MkIV with the LuaTeX engine needs separate
configuration. Because this is still undergoing rapid development,
it did not make sense to try to incorporate it into the TeX Live
installer.
- Windows-specific problems are described separately, including fc-cache failures, and the GUI installer not opening in Windows
2000.
Notable changes in this
release.
