If someone wants to use xdvi on F-8, even with TeXLive, it still installs tetex-xdvi with a very old version of xdvik. Could you please release the new xdvik for F-8 as well and obsolete the tetex-xdvi one? I removed xdvik from TeXLive for F-8, because I think it would be better to release a newer one even for F-8 :)
OK, will do. However, I am not sure this is the right fix to the problem that tetex-xdvi is being installed in preference to xdvik - that tells me we've got our obsoletes versioning wrong somewhere. Need to think about that when I have a bit of time.
The obsoletion problem is history now fortunatelly. I fixed it by the latest tetex update. The thing is that I disabled xdvi build in F8 TeXLive, so that if an user needs to install xdvik, the only option for him is to install old tetex-xdvi now, since I disabled the TeXLive one in favour of your xdvik, so that F8 users could use the latest one.
OK, understood. Will endeavour to get to this this evening.
Package Change Request ====================== Package Name: xdvik New Branches: F-8
cvs done.
OK, I modified the Requires and BuildRequires for F-8 and built a package: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=516087 However, we need to fix the following issue - it seems tetex-fonts contains some files it shouldn't. # rpm -Uvh xdvik-22.84.13-17.fc8.1.x86_64.rpm Preparing... ########################################### [100%] file /usr/share/texmf/pxdvi/XDvi from install of xdvik-22.84.13-17.fc8.1.x86_64 conflicts with file from package tetex-fonts-3.0-44.8.fc8.x86_64 file /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/XDvi from install of xdvik-22.84.13-17.fc8.1.x86_64 conflicts with file from package tetex-fonts-3.0-44.8.fc8.x86_64
Actually, thinking more about this, Jindrich, I think we need a bit more discussion. If you want xdvik in the F-8 repo to also work with your F-8 texlive repo, then as well as fixing the above problem with tetex, we are going to need to set up virtual provides in tetex to match texlive. For example, xdvik requires kpathsea. With tetex, that means a Requires: tetex. With texlive that means Requires: kpathsea. If we have consistent virtual Provides: tex(kpathsea) in BOT tetex and texlive, this problem is overcome. So i think if we're going down this road, we need to add tex virtual provides to the tetex package.
Alternatively, we can just add Provides: kpathsea to tetex, of course.
I guess this is no longer an issue? Closing WONTFIX - reopen if you still want to do something about this.
