Description of problem: The package texlive-revtex4 is well out of date in Fedora 29 (by a decade) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Currently has 2009/2010 era revtex "4.1r" there is the updated in 2019 release, revtex4-2.cls etc http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/revtex newest is currently "4.2c" 2019-01-18 For purposes of backwards compatability with old papers note that package texlive-revtex is the 1999 era v4.0 /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/revtex4/revtex4.cls package texlive-revtex4 is the 2009 era v4.1r /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/revtex/revtex4-1.cls I'd recommend that texlive-revtex package should track the latest. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. sudo dnf install -y texlive texlive-latex texlive-revtex texlive-revtex4 2. download examples from https://journals.aps.org/revtex 3. compile as per instructions Actual results: Can compile revtex 4.0 (texlive-revtex) / 4.1 (texlive-revtex4) just fine. Can't find revtex4-2.cls Expected results: able to write Physical Review Papers in REVTeX 4.2 on fedora Additional info: I have Fedora 29 currently, but looks like added in upstream too 30/31. thank you!
I am now running Fedora 30 - same packages/problem though.
Updating texlive in Fedora 29/30 would be rather painful to most users at this point, but I am planning to update it in Fedora 31. As a temporary workaround, you can update to the texlive-revtex package in rawhide, which is at the current version (4.2): sudo dnf --enablerepo rawhide update texlive-revtex

Thanks for the quick response Tom! - i can confirm this is fixed now on Fedora 31 (via updates-testing currently) Tried testing: * Updated aok to Fedora31 * sudo dnf install fedora-repos-rawhide * sudo dnf install texlive-revtex --enablerepo=rawhide comes back with Package texlive-revtex-8:svn19652.4.1r-27.fc31.noarch is already installed. realised that instead * sudo dnf upgrade texlive-revtex --enablerepo=updates-testing works and installs texlive-revtex-9:svn49751-5.fc31.noarch aok, with new file /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/revtex/revtex4-2.cls Note I tested compilation of https://journals.aps.org/revtex/revtex4-2-tds.zip doc/latex/revtex/sample/aps/apssamp.tex Case looks closed once it rolls into main repo.

there is a small problem with reftest4-2 an utility to check references that is part of revtex4-2. It calls revtex4.cls (wich is not in the package) instead of revtex4-2.cls (which is). Unless you have an old package that includes revtex4.cls it won't work, I have a new installation of F32 and it didn't work. I edited the file to reference the proper cls but unless it is fixed I suppose it will revert if a new version is installed. Thanks, GiP
