Fwd: "native TeX Live" installation on OpenBSD

What would be interesting, is to have a package with the commands and
a minimal texmf-dist., with a working tlmgr. Then I would not need to
compile when upgrading.

After I compile, I get tlmgr, but it does not work, something with
paths. I do not care of it, because I only need tex, mf and other
commands. I built my texmf more
or less by hand and that is done once.

texlive-bomb as package is unwanted, because takes time when upgrading
the system and applying pkg_add -u, and when installing packages that
has texlive as
dependence.
