 This one is going to break some non-emacs packages as well because the spec actually provides a "tex-preview" package that is just preview.sty and is used by several packages to do tex rendering and preview:
$ repoquery --repo=rawhide{,-source} --whatrequires tex-preview

I have no need for the emacs portion of this package and only need the preview.sty portion for texstudio, so I really don't want to take it on as a full package. I can see three options for this:
1) Someone adopts the full package and maintains it (it was orphaned for FTBFS: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1923372)
2) It gets retired and I have to introduce a new package just for the tex file
3) The texlive-preview subpackage gets renabled in the main texlive distribution and provides this instead (since CPAN also contains this file and includes it inside upstream texlive technically, but we just don't package it there).

My preference is either 1 or 3 happens, since I think it would be bad to have a standalone package maintained independently for just that tex file.

Does anyone use the emacs plugin this provides (auctex) and would be willing to take on this package?
