This is the README for texlive-dummy-el7, version
2014-10-16.
The texlive packages available for RHEL-7 (and derived
distributions such as CentOS-7) are relatively old (2012)
and seriously incomplete. 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 a2ps, 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 a2ps, 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.
