The TeX Live 2025 system for typesetting and font design is nearing
the end of its annual release cycle, with successful builds by our
team on more than 60 systems, covering a wide range of CPUs and
operating systems.

I'm pleased to report that a build on DragonFlyBSD 6.4.0 has been
successful, and TeX Live for that system is available for download and
installation according to instructions here:

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

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

        https://www.math.utah.edu/pub/texlive-utah/#dragonflybsd-640-x86_64

Because DragonFlyBSD binaries are not part of the standard TeX Live
distributions, you need to first pull them down from

        https://www.math.utah.edu/pub/texlive-utah/bin/x86_64-dragonflybsd640.tar.xz

then unpack them, and use the --custom-bin option of the install-tl 
script.  Depending on the choice of the --scheme option, disk space
requirements range from about 0.2GB to 10GB.

Happy TeXing!
