TeX Live 2023 on Debian 12 68K

[Nelson H. F. Beebe]

Yesterday, further updates for TeX Live 2022 were frozen, and it is
expected that this coming weekend (18--19 March 2023), the TeX Live
2023 pretest will be frozen and DVD production started.

I'm pleased to report that a build of TeX Live 2023 on Debian 12 68K
(QEMU 7.0.0 emulation thereof) succeeded here last week, and binaries
are available at links from

https://www.math.utah.edu/pub/texlive-utah/

The TeX Live source tree has had further updates since that build, but
I expect that another build from the latest source tree will be
similarly successful, as it has for most systems this year.

That is really awesome news. I'm really glad to hear that the 68k port is
stable enough to provide the basis for building the current version of
the TeX Live distribution.

I will spread the news!

Thanks,
