The problem is that TeX Live upstream doesn't ship asymptote in its sources. On the other hand it contains all the noarch bits. So I'm not quite sure what are upstream intentions. Maybe we need to ask.

That is seriously out of whack, as it includes manpages (!) but no binaries...

Comment 3 Jindrich Novy 2011-03-03 08:14:05 UTC
Indeed. At least I removed the Obsoletes/Provides so that the stock Fedora asymptote will not be obsoleted by the broken TL2010/TL2011 one for now.

This change will occur in the next repo update.

Comment 4 Jindrich Novy 2012-10-07 08:23:50 UTC
Asymptote is now completely removed from TeX Live 2012 in rawhide as there is separate asymptote package in Fedora already. Maybe I will talk to asymptote maintainer and propose him to move to TeX Live's variant of asymptote also in Fedora.
