Not sure whether it is needed/desired, but exporting to pdf from emacs org mode fails with the following error:
Code:
!pdfTeX error: pdflatex (file cm-super-t1.enc): cannot open encoding file for reading
Using that functionality requires the texlive-extra-package.
The cm-super-fonts are needed for this(i assume emacs is utilizing texinfo, which is using texinfo.tex where cm-super is defined somewhere), unfortunately these are too big(about 65mb) to be put in the main package.
I think for that reason cm-super was never added to tetex.
This looks promising. Is this still being developed?
When trying to run updmap-sys (in order to get TeXLive to recognize some fonts I've installed) I get this error:
Code:
Can't locate TeXLive/TLUtils.pm in @INC (you may need to install the TeXLive::TLUtils module) (@INC contains: /usr/share/tlpkg /usr/local/lib64/perl5 /usr/local/share/perl5 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 .) at /usr/bin/updmap line 41.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/bin/updmap line 41.
Any hints?
Thanks in advance

I also get this when I try to run a file on pdfTeX:
Code:
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.16 (TeX Live 2015 on Slackware) (preloaded format=pdflatex)
restricted \write18 enabled.
---! /usr/share/texmf-var/web2c/pdftex/pdflatex.fmt doesn't match pdftex.pool
(Fatal format file error; I'm stymied)

Yes, i'm currently preparing texlive 2016. Maybe there there will be more packages splitted
from the big texlive-extra, to not force to have a full texlive installation.

Thanks for testing.
Although i think updmap-sys worked, i'll upload buildscripts and packages hopefully soon for texlive2016, please test again then.
I see that you put all your executables in /usr/bin. Does this comply with TeX Directory Structure?
In my case, it might help to note that I installed your packages after uninstalling the SlackBuilds.org TexLive packages (TeXLive 2014). After upgrading I ran updatedb (to update the slocate database) and later texhash/mktexlsr to update the internal TeX ls-R database.
I understand the need to have a small, compact, tetex-like package but my needs go towards a full range of packages so I would appreciate good texlive-extra and texlive-doc packages.
Thanks for all your efforts!

Here is a living sign, a texlive 2016 package. I took a svn-chekout from June 9, as the officially provided sources have strangely grown(about 250mb), containing binaries and other unneeded stuff. Also, i had build issues with asymptote.
Buildscripts and packages texlive-docs, texlive-extra, extra-fonts, texlive-lang are to come, maybe in the next hours/days. Packages will be for current/14.2 and only 64bit if nobody complains.

Technically is saw no problem(maybe with ConTexT, i'll have to investigate), the texlive2014 from SBo did also have
binaries in /usr/bin(best of my knowledge looking at the Buildscript, but didn't build it).

This shouldn't break texlive, we'll see how texlive2016 behaves.

Thank you! I will await the other packages before upgrading.
So here are the packages and buildscripts for texlive 2016.
Thanks in advance for testing and giving feedback.

I just installed your packages in lieu of SBo's TeXLive 2014. I ran tehash/mktexlsr after the upgrade. Now I have two news: a good one and a bad one.
The bad one is that I still cannot use updmap or updmap-sys to make TeX recognize my fonts. I still get the same output:
Code:
$ updmap-sys
Can't locate TeXLive/TLUtils.pm in @INC (you may need to install the TeXLive::TLUtils module) (@INC contains: /usr/share/tlpkg /usr/local/lib64/perl5 /usr/local/share/perl5 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 .) at /usr/bin/updmap line 41.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/bin/updmap line 41.

The good news is that now I am able to compile a sample nontrivial LaTeX document and thus, save for the above issue, it is usable! Thank you! Hope you can still advance on this.
Update: I can use my previously installed fonts, so this is even better. However, I may be unable to install new ones.

Reason: Update information
I just installed your packages in lieu of SBo's TeXLive 2014. I ran tehash/mktexlsr after the upgrade.
btw, mktexlsr is run automatically while installing the package.

This is fixed with the build i just uploaded. Fixed means that updmap is now executable, but
throws errors about maps it can't find(because these are not installed). I'll investigate
what to do about this.

Do you mean there is a newer build other than the one I downloaded yesterday?
