Message-ID: <55BBF252.8090702@cornell.edu> (raw)
Cygwin's TeX Live packages have been updated to the latest upstream release, TeX
Live 2015.
TeX Live provides a comprehensive, cross-platform TeX system. It includes all
the major TeX-related programs, macro packages, and fonts that are free
software, including support for many languages around the world. For more
information, see
http://www.tug.org/texlive/
The TeX Live executables and supporting libraries are contained in the following
Cygwin packages:
* texlive-20150521-1
* libkpathsea6-20150521-1
* libkpathsea-devel-20150521-1
libkpathsea is a TeX file and path search library.
* libptexenc1-20150521-1
* libptexenc-devel-20150521-1
libptexenc is a TeX Unicode encoding library.
* libsync1-20150521-1
* libsync-devel-20150521-1
libsync is a TeX source/output synchronization library.
* libtexlua52_5-20150521-1
* libtexlua52-devel-20150521-1
libtexlua52 is a TeX lua scripting library.
* libtexluajit2-20150521-1 (x86 only)
* libtexluajit-devel-20150521-1 (x86 only)
libtexluajit is a TeX Just-In-Time lua compiler library.
libsync, libtexlua52, and libtexluajit are new (as standalone libraries) with
TeX Live 2015.
* asymptote-2.35-1
Asymptote is a powerful descriptive vector graphics language for technical
drawing, inspired by MetaPost but with an improved C++-like syntax. Asymptote
provides for figures the same high-quality typesetting that LaTeX does for
scientific text.
In addition, upstream TeX Live provides thousands of "packages", grouped into
"collections". There is a Cygwin package for each upstream collection; there
are also Cygwin packages containing documentation for some of the collections.

Recommendations
===============
Most people do not need the full TeX Live installation, which is huge and can
take a long time to install. If you're not sure what you need, here are some
possible ways to start:
Minimal: Install texlive and its dependencies. This provides plain TeX but not
LaTeX.
Small: Install texlive-collection-latex and its dependencies. This is a minimal
installation with LaTeX.
Standard: Install texlive-collection-latexrecommended and its dependencies.
This provides the most commonly used non-graphics LaTeX packages. Install
texlive-collection-pictures if you want the standard graphics packages too.
If you find you need more, consider installing the following packages:
* texlive-collection-bibtexextra
* texlive-collection-binextra
* texlive-collection-fontsextra
* texlive-collection-formatsextra
* texlive-collection-genericextra
* texlive-collection-latexextra
* texlive-collection-mathextra
Fontconfig
==========
There is a script /usr/bin/texlive-enable-fontconfig that you can run if you
want the fonts distributed with TeX Live to be available to applications that
rely on fontconfig. See /usr/share/doc/texlive/README.Cygwin for more details.
(The script can take a few minutes to run, so be patient.)
