Thanks Roger!
I think thats good advice and fedup worked nicely on my personal laptop which
was already at F17.
I'll bite the bullet and upgrade to F18. (which is why I upgraded to F17
anyway) once I go through the pre upgrade steps
Cheers
Peter

Peter,
I decided not to wait for the texlive to reappear in
http://jnovy.fedorapeople.org/texlive/2012/packages.fc17/
Since Fedora accepted texlive into the stable branch of 18, I bit the bullet
and ran 'fedup' to upgrade.
I set the texlive-release.repo to:
enabled=0
before I upgraded. Anyhow, many texlive/17 packages remained after the upgrade
to FC18. So for example you could not upgrade certain packages due to
dependencies across both repositories (the OLD: texlive/17 and the NEW:
FC18/updates). So, I decided to clean house and remove all of the packages
'tex-*' since all of those where in the texlive/17 repository. A smart person
could probably tell me the correct way to do that (I used duck tape an bailing
wire at the prompt:
$ rpm -qa| grep '^tex-*' > installed_Tex_packages_F17.txt
followed by (sudo or as root):
# yum remove $(cat installed_Tex_packages_F17.txt)
%% this took awhile, but got rid of all of the old packages + many
dependencies in the now current FC18/updates repository.
So, I got myself a fresh texlive with (sudo or as root) :
# yum install texlive-collection-genericrecommended texlive-collection-basic
texlive-collection-pstricks texlive-collection-latex
texlive-collection-latexextra texlive-collection-fontsextra
texlive-collection-fontsrecommended texlive-collection-pictures
texlive-collection-documentation-base texlive-collection-latexrecommended
texlive-collection-mathextra
[edit as you see fit]
Anyhow, my point now lost in the details above, I am not sure it is worth
worrying about updating TeX while you are upgrading Fedora.
All is working, and these are now 'regular' Fedora updates. Again, a
monumental task by Jindrich and others that is well appreciated.

Hi all
I second the vote of thanks for the massive effort that Jindrich. and others
have put in!
I am also keen to know where tex2012 has gone as I just started updating my
work laptop from F16 to F18 via F17 which is a slight nightmare. I suspect it
would be even if texlive was located where it was a few days ago but I would
feel more confident if I knew where it has been migrated
Thanks!
Cheers
Peter
