This resolves Bug 178727 - TeX should be updated.
=================================================
All maintainers of packages whic hare affected by this switch
are listed in Bcc. Please read below to find you packages
sorted by maintainer and package.
TeXLive was submitted to STABLE/openSuSE. 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 all *bin package wil be PreRequired by
their noarch package. This ensures that the binaries will
be linked back to /usr/bin/ and that afterward one can
install other architectures with `rpm -i'. Do never use
`rpm -Uhv' for this to avoid overwriting the original
architecture binaries. Deinstalling is simply done with
`rpm -e' specifying not only name and version but also
the the architecture type.
On of the most interesting packages is texlive-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.
