TEX LIVE UTILITY MAC PACKAGES UPDATE

packages are extended, replaced or added and therefore it is a good idea to update your distribution once in a while. The TeX Live distribution is evolving, i.e. This is not a problem usually, unless you are asking someone else to look at a particular error or problem and that person is working with another version and therefore may not be able to reproduce your issue. Instructions for downloading the source and compiling it are available here.I found myself using the same TeX distribution for years, without updating it. These are likely to have bugs, so any testing and feedback is appreciated. There is usually a beta release available on the Releases Page which is more recent than the latest official release. Subscription isn’t required if you just have a question you can email us directly. There is also a Mailing List dedicated to discussion of TeX Live Utility where you can post questions, comments, or discuss ideas for development. If you have a bug report or feature suggestion, please use the issue tracker (Issues tab on this page). Unfortunately, Apple made it too hard to keep supporting 10.5.

TEX LIVE UTILITY MAC PACKAGES MAC OS X

If you are stuck using Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.7 (e.g, you are using a PowerPC system), you can use TeX Live Utility 1.03 or earlier. Apple’s compiler removed support for 10.6.8, which is a shame since it was the last good version of OS X. If you are stuck using Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8, you can use TeX Live Utility 1.36 or earlier. Since 10.7 and 10.8 kind of sucked, this was no great loss. Support for those was dropped two weeks after 1.41 was released, due to another Xcode version jump. The last version to support Mac OS X 10.7 and 10.8 was TeX Live Utility 1.41. Current versions of TeX Live Utility require TeX Live 2009 or later, due to changes in the tlmgr tool itself. TeX Live Utility 0.74 and earlier will work with TeX Live 20.
