Gentoo Packages

The initial testing window from the 2026-05-29 import has closed and the package.mask on TeX Live 2025/2026 has been removed. The set -- texlive-core, the 39 dev-texlive/* collections, and the split build tools -- is now visible by default on ~amd64 and ~arm64. TL2026 is the highest version, so an ~arch `emerge -uDN @world` will upgrade TL2024 -> TL2026.

Stable amd64 users are unaffected: these ebuilds are ~amd64 and ::gentoo's TL2024 stays stable.

== Upgrade as a set ==

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.

== Reporting problems ==

If you encounter any problem related to TeX Live -- a failed merge or a document that no longer builds -- please report it at https://github.com/istitov/stuff/issues with the exact category/pkg-version, your `emerge --info`, and the failing build log or LaTeX output.

== More ==

See the 2026-05-29 news item, "TeX Live 2025/2026 imported", for the xelatex font-by-name fontconfig note and the early opt-in background.

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).

UPDATE: the mask was lifted on 2026-07-03, later than the 2026-06-12 date given when this item was first posted. The TeX Live block is no longer in profiles/package.mask, so no unmasking is needed. See the news item 2026-07-03-texlive-2025-2026-unmasked.

== 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.
