My question is more about the basic usage of latex. As a latex user, I
don't want to call yum 40 times just to compile my .tex file.
It's not that bad actually. I helped many people finding out proper
dependencies and just 1-5 iterations were mostly needed to find a complete
dependency set.
Just to be clear here, we are talking about BuildRequires of packages,
not end-user TeX compilation here.
If end-user utilization is needed then feel free to use
texlive-collection* or texlive-scheme*. Another least overhead option
is to just install:
texlive-scheme-full
and you needn't to care about any deps at all.

If it is not easy (well, why is it difficult?) to make latex launch
yum to install dependencies, maybe we can ship a script to generate
the RPM dependencies, similar to yum-builddep.
