The TeXNaming draft guidelines [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/TeXNaming] seem to indicate that "tex" should go before the package name. E.g. tex-foo-fonts, and perhaps latex-foo-fonts as well. I don't know if ConTeXt needs any special bits for fonts, but in Fedora it gets packaged separately as texlive-context. The only bit that surely doesn't need anything special is texlive-xetex, which can use the system fonts. A minor issue: dvipdfm and dvipdfmx don't have a tex prefix in their package names, even though both put files in the system texmf tree. I don't know if they're usable without TeX installed, but I kinda doubt it... There draft guidelines say that there are several ways to specify the "Requires:" for TeX. But on a recent review, I got this: ? MUST: The package must meet the Packaging Guidelines . The Requires for texlive-latex should be replaced with Requires: tex(latex) The sooner this gets sorted out the better...
