TeXLive 2025 has been available for some time now (https://tug.org/texlive/acquire.html), but all rpms are at TeXLive 2023 at the moment. Might it be time to update it? Reproducible: Always
Seems like accessibility features have been significantly improved, recently.
In addition, I'm dealing with two issues that require updates. First, texlive-pythontex is broken since python3.13. The fix is not complicated, but upstream hasn't merged PR yet. Second, texlive-pythonimmediate is not compatible with the current version of texlive. I was able to restore functionality by downgrading the python package.
I have an issue that I cannot compile a large multi-page table. TeXLive 2025 is likely to fix this issue for me. I would therefore appreciate an update in Fedora Linux 42 and Fedora Linux 43 as well. Can I somehow help with getting this update done?
For anyone CC'd and otherwise unaware, the maintainer recently submitted a change proposal related to this bug: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/TeXLive2025
I did see that. Thanks bob.
I encourage Fedora to update TeXLive as soon as possible. Government office, including public colleges, have a deadline of April 2026 to ensure that public files are officially "digitally accessible". The updated PDF accessibility features of TeXLive 2025 are going to be a huge help in making that possible in STEM fields.
This is going into Rawhide and will show up in Fedora 44. It's a lot of work, but I promise, it is happening.
Fantastic! Thanks for the update. Much appreciate. Sorry it's so much work.
It looks like texlive-base was just updated to a 2025 release, while texlive is still at 2023. This seems to have largely broken LaTeX in Rawhide, e.g.: https://koschei.fedoraproject.org//package/latex2html https://koschei.fedoraproject.org//package/python-helpdev
This also broke the latest build of sympy, which is in turn blocking updates to PyTorch. https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=2923700
Since https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/TeXLive2025 is targeted for Fedora 45, and Fedora 44 branching has not happened yet, perhaps the texlive-base-20250308-99 update needs to be backed out of Rawhide?
I don't want to turn this into a discussion but I don't really know where else to ask this kind of thing. I've been informed of an institutional March 1st deadline for certain accessibility features and have been told that I need to make sure the TeX installation on all of our research machines (running Fedora) is sufficiently new to support this. At this point I'm still trying to figure out exactly which versions of the various components are required for this; one person here told me that we would need a LuaTeX version from December 2025 or later, which seems to imply that TeXLive 2025 might not be new enough. But a comment earlier in this ticket suggests that it might. Regardless, now have an interest in getting TeXLive updated and am offering to help however I can.
TeXLive 2026 (not just 2025) is in Fedora 44+.
Thanks!
