Summary: Review Request: xdvik - An X viewer for DVI files
Product: Fedora

Status: NEW

Description: Xdvik, the kpathsea version of xdvi, is a previewer for DVI files
produced e.g. by the TeX or troff typesetting systems.
Some background: Jindrich Novy's monumental and impressive texlive packaging effort includes xdvik since it is part of the TeXLive 2007 release. However, TeXLive isn't the upstream for xdvik, and Patrice Dumas posted a request on fedora-devel asking for people to volunteer standalone packages for components of texlive which have their own upstream. xdvik is such a package.
This package builds on F8, but still needs a fair bit of work, and is not yet review ready. However, I wanted to get it out in the open early to get feedback.
What I have done:
* Sun Jan 6 2008 Jonathan G. Underwood <jonathan.underwood(a)gmail.com> - 22.84.13-1
- Initial package based on the texlive.spec by Jindrich Novy
- Updated to latest upstream xdvik and Japanese xdvik
- Reviewed all patches relating to xdvi in texlive.spec and cherry picked
those that are still needed
- Reworked the patch to allow building of xdvik and pxdvik
What still needs to be done:
Currently this builds against the bundled kpathsea library sources in
the tarball. We should be building against the kpathsea(-devel) packages
instead. Lots of missing Requires and BuildRequires. Needs building in Mock
for devel and rpmlint checking. And testing lots.
