It would have been even nicer had you cc'd fedora-devel-list... For those that don't read the tex-live@tug list, or the ambassadors' list, here's the tl2rpm (prototype) announcement: http://tug.org/pipermail/tex-live/2008-August/017190.html My main concern is that %post actions will turn out quite hairy, see below (you were probably on vacation then): ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Vasile Gaburici <vgaburici@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun, Aug 10, 2008 at 8:19 AM Subject: Re: TeXLive 2008 in F10? To: Jonathan Underwood <jonathan.underwood@xxxxxxxxx>, Patrice Dumas <pertusus@xxxxxxx>, Development discussions related to Fedora <fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Initially I thought we could do without their installer, because I found only 4 types of "execute", i.e. post install script actions in the master texlive.tlpdb on CTAN. Then I had a look at their new packager's sources: http://www.tug.org/svn/texlive/trunk/Master/tlpkg/TeXLive/. Besides the 4 generic "execute" types, there are plenty of hardcoded package-specific things in TLPostActions.pm. So, I don't see an easy way of dealing with this. Duplicating all that stuff in rpm post scriptlets would be highly unmaintanable. The only sane way would be to install their packager library first, and to execute post actions from there as needed, which needs at least a wrapper script since that code is Perl. It's more than I have time for this weekend... -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
