The stuff overlay now ships TeX Live 2025 and 2026 -- texlive-core, the 39
dev-texlive/* collections, and the split build tools -- ahead of ::gentoo's
TL2024.
== Masked for now ==
The set is ~amd64 and package.masked for an initial testing window, so it is not pulled by default, even on ~amd64. Stable amd64 users are unaffected (::gentoo's TL2024 is stable). The mask drops on 2026-06-12.
To opt in early, copy the 2026-05-29 TeX Live block from the overlay's profiles/package.mask into /etc/portage/package.unmask (and accept ~amd64).
== Upgrading ==
Some packages moved between collections across TL years. The ebuilds carry blockers that order the moves, but they resolve cleanly only when the whole set upgrades together -- use `emerge -uDN @world`. A partial merge can hit protect-owned collisions; add FEATURES="-protect-owned" if you must do one.
== Known limitation ==
xelatex font-by-name (\setmainfont{Latin Modern Roman}) needs a fontconfig snippet for the texmf font dir -- the standard upstream TeX Live step. pdflatex and lualatex are unaffected.
