Hi,
for all of those packages which uses
BuildRequires: texinfo
or hope on the standard build environment providing texinfo, please use
BuildRequires: makeinfo
as the makeinfo utility has been split off from texinfo package to avoid that TeXLive packages will be installed for generating simple info file(s).
For packages depending texinfo tools like texi2dvi the required TeXLive packages will be installed if and only if the packages texlive-specs-a upto texlive-specs-z and texlive will be part of openSUSE:Factory. With this we have than the same package structure as TeXLive upstream already provides (more than 6000 packages:).
Hm, installing a complete texlive-bin takes ages now ... I see that splitting all these texlive packages could be nice for OBS build systems if it would speed up things. In practice the split is just annoying. For example installing texlive-dvips for Factory takes much much longer than installing texlive-bin on 11.4.
This is a problem of libzypp as it runs after every texlive package the posttrans scriplet instead of doing this after the transaction is complete. I'm touching files below /var/run/texlive in the post and postun scriplets which will checked in the posttrans scriplet by the update script. If the all posttrans scriptlets would be executed after all texlive packages had been installed then the update script would run only once (e.g. doing texhash, fmtutils-sys, updmap-sys, ..., and removing the control files below /var/run/texlive). To support posttrans in libzypp the rpm has to know about --noposttrans as with this option libzypp can cause rpm to skip the posttrans scriptlet to be able to do this job at its own.
