sure, it is on my plan. Please let me know what you want to include in texlive-extension!

Thanks

Thanks for taking care of it. In particular it would be great having a seamless transition
from el8 to el9. So having the equal composition as in el8 would provide such experience.

  https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/texlive-extension/blob/epel8/f/texlive-extension.spec#_71

At least the "German language support", ps2eps, lacheck, chktex and ucharcat would help making some docs. Thanks!

I haven't tested the el9 workstation setup right now but I am preparing one. Some "new" missing deps could appear 
because the distro is stripped more and more. So, upcoming tests could reveal more missing dependencies ...

While testing I noticed that 
  texlive-dehyph-9:svn48599-45.fc35.noarch                                            
  texlive-hyphen-german-9:svn58652-45.fc35.noarch 
were missing. As the package names imply i used fc35 noarch rpms as workaround. 
Therefore, if possible, the integration of these hyphenation packages into texlive-extension would be great! Thanks.

For python-matplotlib we need: 'tex(chemformula.sty)' and 'tex(sfmath.sty)'.  Thanks!

FEDORA-EPEL-2022-ea453cf219 has been submitted as an update to Fedora EPEL 9. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2022-ea453cf219

Thanks but I can not find it in the repos. Is it still on the way?

# LANG=C yum --enablerepo=epel-testing  --enablerepo=epel-next-testing install texlive-chktex
Last metadata expiration check: 0:00:11 ago on Thu Jun  9 19:50:17 2022.
No match for argument: texlive-chktex
Error: Unable to find a match: texlive-chktex

It is still on it's way.  Next step is "pushed to testing", then you will see it in epel-testing.

I am taking a first view on it and the first issue might be 

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/texlive-extension/blob/epel8/f/texlive-extension.spec#_8

versus

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/texlive-extension/blob/epel9/f/texlive-extension.spec#_6

so everything is landing in 

/usr/share/texlive-extension/texmf-dist/

instead 

/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/

??

Further more

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/texlive-extension/blob/epel9/f/texlive-extension.spec#_1060

is a link now. So, every sed in-place substitution in the post section replaces it to a regular file
again and the language.dat in the /etc namespace is not updated. --follow-symlinks helps like:

sed --follow-symlinks -i '/german.*/d' %{_texdir}/texmf-dist/tex/generic/config/language.dat

Following packages 

texlive-dehyph
texlive-hyph-utf8
texlive-hyphen-base
texlive-ifplatform
texlive-translator
texlive-ucharcat

They seems to be already in the distribution (repo: appstream). One of them was requested by me. Sorry, for the confusion.

Just for a general verification i installed the provided packages (without the overlapping ones) as follows:

First added a symlink (as said just to verify):

# LANG=C ls -la /usr/share/texlive-extension
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 18 Jun 12 16:55 /usr/share/texlive-extension -> /usr/share/texlive

and then the package installation via repo=epel-testing.

Some test documents compile successfully now.

So, to sum up the issues: 

1. %{_texdir} wrong
2. language.dat handling as link (provided by the distro package texlive-hyphen-base and seems to be a general issue (post scripts))
3. exclude packages that are already in EL9

Hi Leon,

there is new build texlive-extension-20200406-27.el9 which should fix the above issues.
Thanks so much for your report

The new build looks good. The local output of processing documents looks great. 

About the language.dat handling I see following problem:

The texlive-hyphen-base package coming from the distro provides 

pushd %{buildroot}%{_texdir}/texmf-dist/tex/generic/config/
ln -s ../../../../../../..%{_sysconfdir}/texlive/tex/generic/config/language.dat language.dat

and 

%config(noreplace) %{_sysconfdir}/texlive/tex/generic/config/language.dat

so every texlive-hyphen-${LANGUAGE} package with and sed script line will destroy the above linkage.


After installation of texlive-hyphen-german (post script with sed):

$ diff   /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/generic/config/language.dat /etc/texlive/tex/generic/config/language.dat
59,61d58
< german loadhyph-de-1901.tex
< ngerman loadhyph-de-1996.tex
< swissgerman loadhyph-de-ch-1901.tex


furthermore the config adaption coming from post scripts and landing in the /usr/share/texlive/ namespace (speak all adaption)
will be overwritten if someone for example do a yum reinstall texlive-hyphen-base because only the 
%{_sysconfdir}/texlive/tex/generic/config/language.dat is tagged has %config(noreplace).


A quick look into fedora shows round about 106 of such post scripts lines (so a general problem).

A solution could be the usage of "sed --follow-symlinks" or the usage of the path in the %{_sysconfdir} namespace

esperanto example:

sed --follow-symlinks -i '/esperanto.*/d' %{_texdir}/texmf-dist/tex/generic/config/language.dat
or
sed -i '/esperanto.*/d' %{_sysconfdir}/texlive/tex/generic/config/language.dat





for reproduction - following commands series (output not included):

yum reinstall texlive-hyphen-base-20200406-25.el9.noarch
ls -la  /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/generic/config/language.dat /etc/texlive/tex/generic/config/language.dat
diff   /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/generic/config/language.dat /etc/texlive/tex/generic/config/language.dat

yum install  texlive-hyphen-german --enablerepo=epel-testing
ls -la  /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/generic/config/language.dat /etc/texlive/tex/generic/config/language.dat
diff   /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/generic/config/language.dat /etc/texlive/tex/generic/config/language.dat
