Still broken in fisher. Please add tetex as an requirement for tetex-xdvi.

It will at least need the font generation binaries to work (MakeTeXPK, maybe 

others) which are part of tetex.



Best solution would be to move these tools to tetex-fonts, so somebody who is 

only interested in a viewer does not have to install tetex.

I have had several abortive attempts at doing this, getting into a terrible 
mess each time. :-(

Why not just add a "Requires: tetex" on tetex-xdvi? How can that
result in a mess?

The reason that the xdvi package was split out in the first place was
to avoid bringing in *all* of tetex just to use xdvi.

If the subpackage requires the main package anyway, there's no point
in *having* it as a sub-package and all of the files may as well be
owned by tetex in that case.

But if tetex-xdvi requires tetex the Requires should be there.

If that defeats the purpose of the split the split can just as well be
undone. Not much use for a separate package that isn't functional
without a dependency that one doesn't want to make explicit.

What is the problem with putting the necessary programs in tetex-fonts
an Requires-ing that?

As I said in comment #2, it's hard.  It's the best thing to do, but
it's tricky to get it to work -- please feel free to have a go yourself.

In the mean time I'll put in a Requires: tetex so that it actually works.

What is it that makes this hard to accomplish? You haven't explained
that yet...

Note that I don't know anything of the internals of tetex (it's just
that I keep bumping into it when I am doing extensive builds from
source), but adding the following files to my setup makes xdvi work.

What's wrong with changing the spec file like this?:

Any files missing?

That of course should have been

+echo "%{_bindir}/kpsewhich"			>> filelist.fonts
+echo "%{_mandir}/man1/kpsewhich.1.gz"		>> filelist.fonts

Not sure if to also move
/usr/lib/kpathsea.a (and what about /usr/include? tetex-devel?)
/usr/bin/kpse* + man pages
/usr/bin/mktex* + man pages

Maybe these files should be put in a separate tetex-fontutils package
which is required both by tetex and tetex-xdvi/-fonts instead?

Leonard: the answer to "what's wrong with..." is: I don't know.  I
just remember that when I tried to move files around in 2001 it ended
up breaking things.

I understand that you're working on a tetex-common package; let me
know what you end up with, because it would be great to fix this.  Thanks.

SPEC file which cleans up inter-dependencies

Move some files to tetex-fonts, which is now the central package.

See the fedora-devel list ("Tetex inter-dependencies: proposed changes") for
details.

SPEC file which cleans up inter-dependencies

Small fixes to previous SPEC file.
Relevant man pages to tetex-dvips.

Great, thanks!  I've built this into 2.0.2-16, which should appear in
rawhide tomorrow.  The spec file is here in the meantime:

ftp://people.redhat.com/twaugh/tmp/tetex/tetex.spec

It would be useful if you could check through the changes, as I had to
pick through a diff from 2.0.2-8 (which I think is what you started
from).  In future diffs will be more useful than complete files.

Diffs will be fine next time. Thought with the version it would be
obvious enough from which file I started :) .

Please check afm's dependency. I am not entirely sure about that.
About the other changes I am quite confident.

Spec file fixes against tetex-2.0.2-16

Fix a few omissions. Drop tetex-afm Requires as it can function independently.

Thanks!  Built as tetex-2.0.2-17.
