This allows another place for things to go wrong. > So, building texlive-2013 requires graphite2-devel, and building graphite2-devel requires texlive2013. Yes, but each dependency can be satisfied by installing a binary .rpm which is available. Building texlive-2013 from source cannot proceed unless the binary of graphite2-devel has been installed before the build starts. So "yum install graphite2-devel". Today this is not a circular dependency, although it may be impossible to rebuild the world from source only, without using some previous [or current] binary version of graphite2-devel. Once upon a time the dependencies were not as strict, or there was a bootstrapping stage that is not recorded in the .spec, or there was manual "cheating", etc. > Does somebody succeed to open texlive.spec? > When trying to browse this file, kwrite suddenly stops.
