Packages for current Fedoras (13, 14 and 15), for the > instructions see this is exactly the problem, such packages are incomplete (e.g., italian hyphenation is missing and without tlmgr is really hard to reintroduce it) and their updating is really slow wrt the native distribution of texlive. So after a couple of months with several problems with such packages (look at the ml archive for the long story) I dropped the fedora packages of texlive in favor of the native installation. Unfortunately some bad written packages (such as R) rely on the presence of a tex-based rpm this is what my hack solves.
