= Proposed System Wide Change: TeXLive 2015 = https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/TeXLive2015
Change owner(s): Tom Callaway spot@fedoraproject.org
Update Fedora TeXLive packaging to 2015.
== Detailed Description == Fedora's core latex support comes from TeXLive. We've been on 2014 for a while now, and 2015 is out. Time to upgrade! Since lots of things use latex to generate documentation, the scope of this update is wide.
== Scope == * Proposal owners: Actually update texlive package to 2015 sources. Ideally, have a mass rebuild in the 24 release cycle to catch any odd breakage cases, if no mass rebuild, identify packages with BR on texlive* and manually rebuild. * Other developers: If your package depends on latex/TeXLive, rebuild to make sure that everything works properly and renders correctly. * Release engineering: Mass rebuild would be ideal, however, if this is the only thing that needs it, we can do a targeted rebuild of packages that BR: texlive* * Policies and guidelines: No new policy/guideline changes required. * Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change)

There was discussion earlier about possibly redoing the packaging so that there aren't so many subpackages from one gigantic auto-generated source RPM. This seems like an ideal time to look at that, but I don't see it in the change proposal. Spot, as package owner and change submitter here, what are your thoughts on that?
