There are two spec files generated from a spec.in which a) provides the noarch files and b) provides the architecture dependent program files. This way was choosen by me due to fact that rpm does not support multi-architecture spec and rpm files. The packages have some sub packages depending on the usage, for noarch this is: * texlive (former tetex te_eplai te_ams) -> texlive-cjk -> texlive-context (former te_cont) -> texlive-devel (former te_kpath te_web) -> texlive-dvilj (former te_dvilj) -> texlive-latex (former te_latex) -> texlive-metapost (former te_mpost) -> texlive-nfs (former te_nfs) -> texlive-omega (former te_omega) -> texlive-xetex and for the architecture dependent packages this is: * texlive-bin -> texlive-bin-cjk -> texlive-bin-devel -> texlive-bin-dvilj -> texlive-bin-latex -> texlive-bin-metapost -> texlive-bin-omega -> texlive-bin-xetex Please note that every noarch package which has a architecture dependent partner package, will pre-require this binary package. The source rpm of texlive-bin is simnply a nosrc rpm because it uses the same sources and patches as texlive its self, even the file lists are the same, but the files not packed for texlive-bin* of texlive* are marked withj `%exclude'. Currently texlive is marked as conflicting with the old teTeX but does not provide teTeX because of the build requirements of other packages which I'll not destroy currently. Therefore one have to force the remove of teTeX and _all_ its subpackages before using texlive. On of the most interesting packages is texlive-xetex/texlive-bin-xetex, which provides an UTF-8 _and_ fontconfig capability, which really extends TeX and LaTeX to XeTeX and XeLaTeX into the common world of UTF-8 and modern fonts, for a description see http://scripts.sil.org/XeTeX. The XeTeX engine can also be used for ConTeXt formats and also provides pdf/dvi output. Beside this I'm also thinking about getting the texlive-bin* packages into a more general way of installing, that it is poosible to install several texlive-bin* packages for several architectures in parallel without a complaining rpm at install. There are several packages which are replaced by texlive: texlive-cjk -> cjk-latex : Don't know if this works!! texlive-latex -> latex-beamer latex-pgf latex-ucs currently not integrated but maybe possible jadetex jsclasses musictex/musixtex passivetex xmltex currently missed gentle (was part of the old teTeX) currently not known status HLaTeX (don't know how far the cjk package fits) HLaTeX-fonts (ditto) Please note that all package are much more larger than those of teTeX. Most because much more locale support and fonts are included. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
