PROFILE

Norbert Preining

Worked on modernizing and stabilizing the cross-platform build system for holzschu/texlive-source, focusing on enforcing C++17 support and improving CI/CD reliability across FreeBSD, Linux, and NetBSD environments. Consolidated and simplified build scripts using Shell and YAML, enabling consistent static linking and more reliable packaging workflows. Updated Docker base images and GitHub Actions workflows to enhance portability and control automated build triggers, reducing maintenance overhead and preventing premature release artifacts. Refactored build steps to minimize autotools dependence and explored libtool support for improved link stability, resulting in a more robust and maintainable build process for future development.
