Description: MetaPost and Metafont packages
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. :)
