rP554146: print/miktex: A TeX/LaTeX distribution featuring on-demand package installation.

Summary

Open problems:

Not sure what to put into LICENSE var. MiKTeX COPYING.md file states MiKTeX has neither a single copyright holder nor a single license covering its entire contents, since it is a collection of many independent packages.
To actually use installed package, user have to run miktexsetup finish, which would install additional files into ~/bin. Running this command as root would install into /usr/local/bin. There is no way to override these directories until https://github.com/MiKTeX/miktex/issues/195 is fixed.

Hello.

I've updated to 2.9.6975, added some OPTIONS, and shut portlint. There are more OPTIONS opportunities like INSTALL_MIKTEX_HEADERS (fail to build with some Linux file missing) and WITH_LUA54TEX (lua54 is not in ports yet).

You could avail adding OPTIONS to LINK_EVERYTHING_STATICALLY and INSTALL_STATIC_LIBRARIES. :-)

[EDITED]

The only downside of MiKTex would be the necessity to modify bsd.tex.mk in order to avoid Tex-Live ports installed for ports with USE_TEX.

Thank you! \o/

There is a problem with luatex:

miktex-luatex requires net/luasocket for Lua 5.3, but there are no FLAVORS for Lua, so I can't depend on that. @mat, any thoughts how to workaround it?

The question about net/luasocket stays open.

print/miktex/Makefile
20 ↗	(On Diff #55829)	Please remove this. poudriere will build this without a problem, it has auto-accept. If you are testing a restricted port, sipmly add `DISABLE_LICENSES=yes` the make.conf.

Update to 7000, remove license hack.

So, I need net/luasocket for LUA 5.3. Should I open a PR requesting lua flavorization, or just create a net/luasocket53?

I do not think anyone has plans to write flavors for USES=lua so openning a PR requesting it would probably be pointless.

I need a way forward. Should I start looking into flavorizing LUA, switching everything to lua 5.3 or creating a net/luasocket53?

I have no idea if having flavors for lua makes sense. I think the best way to move forward would be a luasocket53 port for now.

Properly install symlinks.

It turned out that miktex uses internal LUA and luasocket, so the new port isn't needed. Bad news is that I cannot figure out where the error comes from. Any help with debugging this would be welcome.

Upstream has fixed the LUA bug and it will be present in the next release.
