Even if most of the work is automatically generated it is not an easy task by any measure. :-) With all that work coming for F12 it would be a bonus if we could come with a set of rules for packaging tex projects. Those guidelines could then go to FPC for approval. With the amount of packages coming now is the time to get this right. One of the issues discussed before but never set is the name space to be used. If I remember the rough consensus was to name packages as tex-packagename or even tex-latex-packagename. Even the packages retain the same name as they are now in your repo you could add a (virtual) Provides so that if later, for any reason, we change the tex distribution we don't need to change every involved package. What is your plan? To use the wiki Feature page as the place of contact for further actions or something else... > Thanks, > Jindrich Regards, -- José Abílio -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
