Folks,
I have updated MacTeX and all remaining packages on www.tug.org/mactex
and www.tug.org/mactex/morepackages.html. Readers of this list can
ignore these upgrades unless they want to reassure colleagues that the
packages are completely Leopard compatible. It will take a few days
for CTAN and other servers to react to the upgrades.
The TeXLive-2007-Dev package still has the August version of TeX Live
because the install script in the current svn image has problems.
BibDesk and Eudora are upgraded to the latest versions. The packages
install LaTeXiT 1.14.4 on Tiger, but 1.14.3 on Leopard. I'll change
this as soon as LaTeXiT is upgraded.
All packages used the old method to set PATH and MANPATH on systems
10.3 and 10.4, but the new Leopard method on 10.5. However, they do
not undo the 10.4 changes if these were previously installed. The old
changes cause no problems, but users who want to remove them can use
LeopardTeXFix on

Bruno Voisin pointed out that Gerben installs the man pages for the
Font Utilities in /usr/local/man. The new MacTeX adds this location to
MANPATH on Leopard, but not on earlier systems, when the user installs
Font Utilities. LeopardTeXFix does not make this change, but users who
want it without installing the new MacTeX can make the change by hand:
add a file named "FontUtilities" to /etc/manpaths.d containing the
single line
/usr/local/man
