Hello,
is there any plan to have texlive in EPEL 7?
I need it but wouldn't dare asking for the branch myself... looks complicated and I don't have any direct experience with it.
Thanks & regards, --Simone

The texlive package already exists in RHEL7. See http://ftp.redhat.com/redhat/rhel/beta/7/x86_64/os/Packages/

Ok, I found the issue. The texlive in EPEL 7 is too old and does not contain the sub-packages I'm using. I hope they will update it before release; texlive 2013 was released mid 2013 and we're now in 2014.
Thanks & regards, --Simone

You can probably forget about that hope - they're not going to do a major update, certainly not after the beta release.

True. Generally there are no major updates after beta release. For the subpackages which are missing try filing a bug against texlive in RHEL7 and request to include needed packages.

Yeah, definitely. RHEL 6 was providing tetex/tetex-latex, Fedora ships texlive that provides them, and RHEL 7 sits in the middle, there is no tetex/tetex-latex and texlive does not provide them. Sigh.

Uhm, so this is just about a virtual Provides?
TeXLive *does* have latex. Just install texlive-latex.

Ok, I confirm is related to the texlive version in RHEL 7. I reworked all the BuildRequires in the SPEC file with the "new" texlive syntax (i.e. tex(xcolor.sty)) but the RHEL 7 packages do not contain all the required files; I'm missing tex(keyva.sty).

keyval.sty, not keyva.sty.... damn typo. Ok, it's now working, I simply had to adjust the spec file to two separate build requirements, one for Fedora and RHEL 7 with the new texlive syntax, one with RHEL 5/& that simply requires tetex/tetex-latex.
