Subject: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: TeX Live 2012
Date: Mon, 16 Jul 2012 12:16:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <announce.5003FD7E.8080805@cornell.edu> (raw)
Cygwin's TeX Live packages have been updated to the latest upstream
release, TeX Live 2012.
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-20120628-1
*** libkpathsea6-20120628-1
*** libkpathsea-devel-20120628-1
libkpathsea is a TeX file and path search library.
*** libptexenc1-20120628-1
*** libptexenc-devel-20120628-1
libptexenc is a TeX Unicode encoding library.
*** asymptote-2.16-1
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; starting with this release, there are also packages
containing documentation for some of the collections.

Recommendations
===============
Most people do not need the full TeX Live installation, which is huge.
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
* texlive-collection-texinfo
