Its not so simple as to say all of tetex should be in extras. My concern is that other Core packages ship dvi files and currently the only viewer in Core that I am aware of with dvi file support is xdvi. I'd like to see that changed, so at least tetex-xdvi could be dropped and thus one step closer to dropping openmotif from Core. I'd actually agree to move tetex to extras with if it were possible.. but I don't think you can move it wholesale out of core because of buildrequires in other packages unless the selfhosting constraint on Core is lifted or you are prepared to drop all documentation which is generated via tetex as part of Core package build process for a number of packages. Given the current constraints with regard to packaging building, I very much doubt tetex will be moving to Core and I think such a discussion is a non-starter. But I would encourage you to take a look at the spec files in cvs which ask for latex as part of the build process and assess how difficult it would be to re-engineer Core packages so tetex could be moved to Core. -jef -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
