This has changed. It is now called tex-3.1415

The empty directories are not removed. Is it your problem?

This is the default mode in the distribution. I will change it to 755

Well, this is the TeX port, not the latex or bibtex port :-). I can
delete the bibtex binary, but then it will not be possible to add
a bibtex port. 
Are you willing to do a bibtex port? (we only need to fetch the
various support files and install them properly) It is not difficult!

 > 	* no pk fonts at all

This is normal. Pk fonts are device dependent. We can't supply fonts
for every printer/display on earth! You have to choose a device when
installing xdvi or dvips. Pks are then built when required.

The default is to generate them in /tmp. You can choose an alternate
location when configuring dvips/xdvi. Otherwise, you have to let
/usr/local/lib/texmf/fonts/pk writable by everyone. The best is to 
add the following code in your /etc/daily:
	if [ -d /tmp/pk ]; then
	    echo -n "Moving pkfonts"
	    for f in /tmp/pk/*pk; do
	      if [ -f $f ]; then
	        mv $f /usr/local/lib/texmf/fonts/pk/
	      fi
	    done
	fi
 
Thanks for your feedback.

	Jean-Marc.
