It seems that we never went the last mile. :-) While searching the guidelines https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines I do not find any reference to (la)tex. The only guidelines that can be found are those related with the naming: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:NamingGuidelines#Addon_Packages_.28TeX.29 Maybe now that a modern texlive is in the repos we should care about getting the guidelines in shape for submission. Here clearly Jindrich has a lot to say since most of the packages are from him. The added benefit would be to have the same rules for (la)tex packages that are in texlive and those that are outside. The guidelines would include: * what paths and rpm macros to use * what virtual provides to add * what scripts to run and when (pre/post installation) * ... I hope that this sounds as a plan, as it would be really nice to get this into place.
