https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=346798 Summary: Easy installation of extra texlive packages. Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: werner@novell.com ReportedBy: slonoinquisitor@gmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Currently, texlive installation for Suse includes only a limited number of texlive packages. This is a sensible decision to save the space on the DVD. The real problem is that there is no simple way to install additional texlive packages via Yast or other package manager, since they are absent even in the main ftp repository of Suse. Of course, a sufficiently experienced user could download the packages from CTAN and install them in the local texmf tree. However, it would be much more convenient and user-friendly to have the possibility to install them directly from the Suse ftp tree. E.g. Debian and Ubuntu do keep some popular (but too large to be included in the DVD) texlive packages, like cm-super, in their ftp repository, so that they can be easily installed by apt-get. In this respect, Suse is behind those distributions. So my feature request is to add some popular texlive packages (including but not limited to cm-super) to Suse ftp tree. The proposal is to include them as separate packages that would not bloat the stock texlive package. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
