Hi, I would like to announce couple of major changes in the TeX Live 2009 repository. The main improvements are: * TL2009 now contains virtual provides to resolve dependencies among .sty files. This assures you have a complete set of other styles installed in order to use one. To install a particular style you can do e.g. "yum install 'tex(upref.sty)'" and you needn't to know it comes from texlive-amscls package. The exception are dependencies to styles which are either commercial (such as mathtime.sty) or not available from CTAN. These styles were blacklisted and dependency generator ignores them. * Upgradability from older TeX Live 2007 is now improved. You may remember that the biggest problem with upgrading TL is not in TeX Live itself but in utilities around it, like xdvipdfm, psutils, etc. that needs older kpathsea library than shipped with TL2009. I've done some modifications so that starting with texlive-2007-45 and higher, both newer and older libraries can coexist. So you should be able to run your F11 apps linked against old kpathsea together with new TL2009. * a version string was added to noarch packages to allow to upgrade all of the noarch packages even if upstream hasn't done any modifications. This allows me to not to break upgrade path if some major packaging changes are made and these packages need to be rebuilt. * TL packages released under GFSL license are now added. In case you have an older TL2009 installed on your system from the testing repository, please consider removing it and installing again.
