Description akiyks 2022-05-15 04:42:16 UTC

Please branch and build texlive-ctex in epel9.

In epel8, installing texlive-collection-xetex provides texlive-xecjk and
it works fine.

In epel9, texlive-xecjk provides xecjk as of 20200406, which has a new dependency to
ctexhook.sty.  It is provided by texlive-ctex package in fedora.

Broken xecjk is considered as a regressing in epel9.

texlive-ctex has is own dependencies to other Chinese-language related packages,
so I'm afraid adding all of those dependencies might not be a reasonable option
for EPEL9.

An alternative way for texlive-xecjk to work might be to add ctexhook.sty only.
I have no idea if this is doable in epel9, as it would diverge from fedora's
packaging policy.

I confused the repository where texlive-xecjk is provided.
It is provided in appstream, not in epel.

Adjusted product, component, and version info above.

Rephrased description of the issue follows.

In CentOS stream 8, installing texlive-collection-xetex provides texlive-xecjk and
it just works.

In CentOS stream 9, texlive-xecjk provides xecjk as of 20200406, which has a new
dependency to ctexhook.sty.  It is provided by the texlive-ctex package in fedora.

Broken xecjk can be considered a regressing in CentOS stream 9 and RHEL 9.

so I'm afraid adding all of those dependencies might not be a reasonable option
for CentOS stream 9 and RHEL 9.

An alternative way might be to add ctexhook.sty only.  I have no idea if this is
doable at all, as it would diverge from fedora's packaging policy.

Thanks!

we want to keep the texlive in centos stream 9 as small as possible and move the rest to texlive-extension in epel9.
In this case, the following solution approach would be possible. Delete the package texlive-xecjk and add the missing packages in exlive-extension in epel9.

I see.

So, would texlive-extension include texlive-xecjk, texlive-ctex, and their
dependencies?

Would texlive-collection-xetex also be moved to epel9 as it has texlive-xecjk
in its dependencies?

I'm OK with such a move as long as installing texlive-collection-xetex
would provide usable exlive-xecjk.

Thanks!
