--- Comment #3 from Tom "spot" Callaway <tcallawa@xxxxxxxxxx> ---
I disabled the shebangs script because texlive is notoriously ancient, huge,
and finicky. I did not want to have to go through it and find all the places
where the script was making changes that were incorrect. I also suspect
strongly that the texlive upstream will not be willing to accept changes away
from /usr/bin/env.

Example: the script was removing the exec bit on subscripts inside R, which R
was executing internally, causing all of the R packages to stop working in
rawhide. I suspect it is highly likely that loss of permissions in the texlive
universe will result in the same sort of failures.

On the topic of versioning, I could not come up with a good reason for the odd
"year only" versioning on some provides (but not others), so I just simplified
everything to one model. AFAIK, nothing else in Fedora was expecting to find
the year only versioning.

Here comes -17:

- add Provides: tetex-latex to the latex subpackage
- fix obviously incorrect license tag on -base package
- use %%_rpmmacrodir instead of our local %%macrosdir
- add BuildRequires: gcc gcc-c++
