How to use tex-babel-russian? (ruflyer.tex)

[Leonardo Taccari <leot%NetBSD.org@localhost>]

Hello to the entire netbsd-docs@ ML!
When (locally) regen-erating the entire htdocs, htdocs/gallery/ruflyer.tex
regen failed because it tried to write to /var/lib/texmf/fonts/tfm:

 | [...]
 | kpathsea: Running mktextfm larm1000
 | mkdir: ././var/lib/texmf/fonts/tfm: Permission denied
 | mktextfm: mktexdir /var/lib/texmf/fonts/tfm/lh/lh-t2a failed.
 | [...]

The following minimal TeX file is enough to reproduce the same problem:

    % cat br.tex
    \documentclass{article}
    \usepackage[russian]{babel}
    \begin{document}
    \end{document}

...and:

Unfortunately at the moment I have disabled the regen-eration of
ruflyer.tex[0] (the .tex and PDF is still there of course, but at
least with netbsd-doc-print we can't regen it and so the ruflyer*
targets were removed as dependencies to `all') but it would be
great if we can properly fix it.

If anyone has any idea how to fix that... please let me known!


Thank you!
