This package is a split out version of what used to be all mashed together in the "texlive" package. It is split out by "collection", which is an upstream TeXLive concept.
These packages are difficult to test in isolation, but they are all available in this copr: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/spot/texlive-2025
All of the components within this package are noarch, they do not need to be built, and they very rarely need to be patched. Accordingly, this package does not unpack all of the component files during %prep (this is the same behavior as current "texlive"), because it would require a large amount of files to be unnecessarily written to disk twice, slowing down the package build process by 2x. The package you're looking at might seem small, but some of these collections are pretty big. I would strongly prefer to have this package continue to work in that way, but if you feel strongly, you can plead your case here. :)

> texlive-dvipsconfig.noarch: E: non-executable-script /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/dvips/dvipsconfig/addpsctrl 644 /bin/bash

It would be great if you either make this 755 or remove the #!/* from the first line. I will not block review on this.

Comment 3 Miroslav Suchý 2026-01-12 14:32:23 UTC
License:        LPPL-1.3c

and

%license gpl2.txt

does not match. Can you fix this please?

So, technically, it does. The collection itself (basically just the collection metadata, see SOURCE0) is LPPL-1.3c. The texlive-dvipsconfig subpackage is "GPL-2.0-or-later" and marked accordingly, and that's why %license gpl2.txt shows up there.

Aha. Ok, then.
