Hi Stratos and all,<br>
<br>
Last month, you reported:<br>
<div class="Ih2E3d"><br>
tlmgr does not work correctly on FreeBSD. First of all, tlmgr uses tar<br>
with option --owner,<br>
<br>
</div>We've finally managed to avoid that. I think the invocation will work<br>
with any tar now.<br>
<br>
I expect we'll update tlmgr with these changes (among many others) in<br>
the next day or two.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>

<br>Now I have:<br># tlmgr --version<br>tlmgr revision 11536 (2008-12-06 12:46:06 +0100)<br>tlmgr using installation: /usr/local/texlive/2008<br>TeX Live (<a href="http://tug.org/texlive">http://tug.org/texlive</a>) version 2008<br>
texlive-20080903<br><br>I will try the plain tar when a new package update will be available and I will report the results.<br><br>Thank you again,<br>Stratos<br><br>
