I am one of the someone who it will help - fedora TexLive has historically lagged so much as to be a problem .. So thank you !! I will test this as soon as I can ... Will this allow me to use the fedora install of R (which is very helpful) instead of my own install ? (I've been installing R and texmaker outside of fedora repos). thanks again for doing this ... I wonder if the official TexLive download would include your spec file ? gene/ -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
