Re: Is 50+ RPM Subpackages too extreme?

Your reply completely lacks any point. Why is TeX Live the best example of what
to avoid when packaging in Fedora?

Having 50+ subpackages is perfectly justified once there is a reason why. For TeX Live it is that upstream (CTAN) actually maintains package dependencies and they do add and remove packages from different TeX Live collections, e.g. LaTeX, XeTeX, etc. That means the complete package set is actually generated from upstream metadata to give users freedom to not to install hundreds of MBs of stuff they don't need - as it was previously with teTeX. And also to be automatically synced with upstream.

I think that from the user perspective that's the best example of what
to avoid when packaging in Fedora.
