Description schaefi 2015-02-14 14:20:30 UTC

The style file "portland.sty" is missing in the distribution of texlive (version: 2014.1.1.20140525_r34255.fc21) of Fedora 21.

The style file "portland.sty" has been distributed in the past in the package texlive-misc209 containing:
tex(example.sty)
tex(hangcaption.sty)
tex(multind.sty)
tex(portland.sty)
tex(psboxit.sty)
tex-misc209
texlive-misc209

In Fedora 20 the package has been:
Name : texlive-misc209 	
Version : svn18001.0 	Vendor : Fedora Project
Release : 5.fc20 

This package is missing for Fedora 21. Can somebody provide the package for Fedora 21 please.

Trying to install the old package of Fedora 20 in Fedora 21 is not possible:

rpm -i --test -vv texlive-misc209-svn18001.0-5.fc20.noarch.rpm
...
error: Failed dependencies:
	texlive-misc209 <= 3:2014 is obsoleted by (installed) texlive-kpathsea-lib-4:2014-1.1.20140525_r34255.fc21.x86_64
...

There might be a workaround using the lscape and pdflscape package (see http://texcatalogue.ctan.org/entries/portland.html). I have not tried this because I need the old portland.sty

Comment 1 schaefi 2015-02-14 14:44:50 UTC

Here is a workaround untill the package is provided:

1. Download the file "portland.sty" manually 
e.g. from http://www.math.mcgill.ca/rags/texmacros/portland.sty or any other mirror

2. Make the directories and put the file into it:
mkdir /usr/share/texmf/tex
mkdir /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex
mkdir /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/misc209
cp portland.sty /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/misc209/

3. Update the texlive database:
mktexlsr
mktexlsr: Updating /usr/share/texlive/texmf-config/ls-R... 
mktexlsr: Updating /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/ls-R... 
mktexlsr: Updating /usr/share/texlive/texmf-local///ls-R... 
mktexlsr: Updating /usr/share/texlive/texmf-var/ls-R... 
mktexlsr: Done.

Now you can work with the portland.sty

Comment 2 Fedora Admin XMLRPC Client 2015-08-11 05:32:20 UTC

This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Comment 3 Tom "spot" Callaway 2015-09-17 19:25:51 UTC

Upstream removed misc209 due to licensing issues.
