TeXLive: texlive-bibtexextra missing from texlive-full and newly installed files not found #4871
Comments
Biber must be installed through clan/cpanm. @jamesb6626 posted detailed instructions on how to succeed here: #981 (comment) |
There, there is not a clean recipe to have I do not understand why you close my flags without a minimal discussion. I think this is very unfriendly. |
We generally don't package python/perl/node/ruby/other packages if they are installable through another package manager (like pip/cpan/npm/gem). For perl modules it is also pretty much impossible to cross-compile them for termux due to perl barely supporting cross-compilation (I looked into this when trying to package libapt-pkg-perl but I never got it working). If someone can come up with a way to cross-compile perl modules then a PR is very welcome. Another possible solution would be if someone compiles biber on device and package it into a deb, but we can't host it on the main repo then since we then don't have a build.sh recipe, so would be needed to be hosted on a third-party repo. I am sorry that you feel this is an unfriendly repo. Your reports/comments are very welcome. Since there already are open issues reporting basically the same issues I prefer to close the new issues as duplicate of the other ones, to only have to keep track of one issue. Feel free to comment/post remarks on either your issues or the ones I considered duplicates. Also note that "biblatex.sty" is available in the tlmgr package biblatex, and part of the apt package texlive-bibtexextra. |
