On the next day, I eventually realised that an hard disk was logically missing on the system and the ZFS mirror it was belonging to was working in a degraded mode. This disk holding a swap partition, the panic quite makes sense: some data was stored there and could not be paged-out anymore.

# zpool status data
  pool: data
 state: DEGRADED
status: One or more devices could not be opened.  Sufficient replicas exist for
        the pool to continue functioning in a degraded state.
action: Attach the missing device and online it using 'zpool online'.

In order to help users who don't want to install the whole TeXLive collection (~2000 ports), a basic script has been developed to ease-up finding which port provides some file required by a given package.

As usual, feedback is welcomed!

I did some basic testing locally, but I don't read Korean, thus I could not test beyond the (minimalistic) examples. I am therefore looking for FreeBSD TeXLive users who are able to write Korean to help testing this package. If you are one of them, please give it a try and report any success or failures on the issue page.

One month ago, I pushed TeXLive 2010 to the freebsd-texlive repository. Moreover, because portshaker is now in the FreeBSD ports tree, installing bleeding-edge TeXLive on FreeBSD has never been so easy!

I used a script for update TeXLive 2008 on a regular basis, but since these new ports feature pkg-plist files, I had to setup an update jail. So updates for FreeBSD TeXLive ports will be generated daily at 5:30 CET.
