hi jnovy ;) very complex specs. On my laptop, 'rpmspec --parse

I think you're labouring under a misapprehension. texlive.spec is not an
RPM spec file, it is the first circle of hell in textual form. ;)

Yes, which is why its such a good torture-test for the spec parser.

300k lines might be a monster of a spec file, but its hardly a huge amount of data as such. That parsing it was taking over half a minute on a fast modern computer only goes to show how braindead some of the involved code was :)
