Although it is possible to +remove the native texlive packages and install a more +recent complete TeXLive distribution, any attempt to +install packages that depend on texlive resources (such +as latex2html, lyx, etc.) will normally trigger the +re-installation of the obsolete native packages. This is +inefficient and the redundant packages can interfere with +the TeXLive resources. + +This package contains a "dummy" rpm which is intended +to satisfy any dependencies on texlive resources, +allowing packages like latex2html, lyx, etc. to be +installed without using --nodeps and without triggering +re-installation of texlive rpms. All native texlive packages +will be removed when the texlive-dummy package is installed. + +It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that any +necessary resources normally provided by native packages +have in fact been installed. A recent TeXLive distribution +should suffice. If necessary, packages can be installed +directly from CTAN into a local or personal texmf tree. + +The source rpm is included in case the user needs to +add/remove lines to/from the spec file. Please send the +maintainer a note about this so this package can be updated. + +Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this +software under the terms of the LaTeX Project Public License +(LPPL), version 1.3. + +Bob Tennent +rdt at cs.queensu.ca + |
