Hi All,
<rant> Has anyone else here unexpectedly stumbled upon texlive's phenomenally voluminous installed packages list and been stunned by it's footprint? Over 900 -doc packages, alone?! I don't recall explicitly selecting to install it. IMHO, it should have it's own 'package group' or 'pattern' instead of being pulled in with anything else. And how about the package names seemingly being seeded with odd selections designed to bork obvious pattern matching, hence frustrating rapid, bulk removal of texlive from the system? ... -doc-doc, -bin-bin, -font-fonts and there are others. Really? >:-( </rant>
Have a nice day,
Carl
There are some kind of patterns, yes, but they are not declared as such. "rpm -qa 'texlive-collection*'" will show you, and "zypper se texlive-collection" might show you what you are still missing ;) texlive-collection-basic-2015.105.svn33040-18.2.noarch texlive-collection-fontsrecommended-2015.105.svn35830-18.2.noarch texlive-collection-genericrecommended-2015.105.svn35655-18.2.noarch texlive-collection-htmlxml-2015.105.svn35743-18.2.noarch texlive-collection-latex-2015.105.svn33055-18.2.noarch texlive-collection-latexrecommended-2015.105.svn35765-18.2.noarch texlive-collection-luatex-2015.105.svn37811-18.2.noarch -> 624 texlive-Packages installed. I'd be happy with something like 'texlive-minimal', so that the hunger of rpm can be satisfied. If I really work with tex, I'd use the packages directly from ctan.org anyway ;) Werner -- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
