------- Additional Comments From jnovy@xxxxxxxxxx  2007-07-11 11:05 EST -------
The new TeXLive binaries package (0.5) is now available again from:

http://people.redhat.com/jnovy/files/texlive/

and thanks to cooperation with David Walluck it contains many enhancements:
- separated kpathsea from texlive-fonts
- applied patches from Debian, SuSE and Mandriva TeXLive distros
- TeXLive now links against system freetype2/t1lib
- removed kpathsea library building hacks
- disabled ttf2pk, so that a dependency on type1 is no more needed
- fixed perl requires

Jochen, the principle of the texlive-errata scheme is to ship only updated
styles to the texmf tree so that the huge texmf package needn't to be pushed as
a whole when only a few styles are updated. deltarpm is tricky here as some
files are configs/ghosted and frequently modified and so that deltarpm would
download the whole package anyway in most cases, therefore the texlive-errata
scheme.
