Description: Chinese Support for Chinese; additional packages in collection-langcjk.
Fedora Account System Username: spot

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. :)

You install appstream data, but you do not validate it. 
See https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/AppData/

> patch -p0 < %{_sourcedir}/texlive-xtuthesis-use-diagbox.patch

IMHO you should use %patch macro.

I'm not sure its possible to use the %patch macro here, without changing the spec to unpack all the sources in %prep, which, as previously stated, I don't really want to do.

>RPM build warnings:
>    absolute symlink: /usr/share/fonts/fandol -> /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype/public/fandol

Should this be a relative symlink?

It hasn't been for years. If you think it needs to be, I can adjust it.

OK. I think I can live with that patch and symlink issue.
