Hello, right now, LaTeX-related dependencies for the xournalpp package are in the Recommends: section of the RPM spec. LaTeX support by default, however is: 1) Costly in terms of disk space: 1656 LaTeX-related packages and ~1GB of disk space are pulled in when xournalpp is installed without --no-recommends switch. That's more packages than needed to run a full distro and they slow down upgrades a lot 2) Not needed by many users, who are fine with using xournalpp as a PDF annotating tool, notebook or interactive whiteboard (in other words, they are a weak dependency) For these reasons, I suggest LaTeX dependencies for xournalpp are moved to the Suggests: RPM section rather than the Recommends: one currently in use. Thank you.
