Hendrik G Seliger submitted an update to the
texlive-dummy-fedora
package.
Version number: 2026-05-19
License type: lppl1.3c
Summary description: Dummy TeX Live RPM for use with Fedora and similar
distributions
Announcement text:
Added all provisions in Fedora 44 provided by tex-cjw, tex-preview and all texlive\* packages, sorted and made unique. The list is now longer, should stop F44 reliably from installing anything related to texlive (and probably a lot too much, but if anyone find something that should **not** be in this dummy, please let me know). The sorting removed any comments from the list of Provides:, but that should be no real problem. The current sources for this package are maintained on Codeberg: https://codeberg.org/HSeliger/texlive-dummy
This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/support/texlive/texlive-dummy/Fedora More information is at https://www.ctan.org/pkg/texlive-dummy-fedora
Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Erik Braun

texlive-dummy-fedora – Dummy TeX Live RPM for use with Fedora and similar distributions
This package contains a “dummy” rpm which is intended
to satisfy any dependencies on TeX Live resources,
allowing packages like latex2html, lyx,
etc. to be installed without using --nodeps
and without triggering re-installation of texlive
rpms. All native texlive packages will be removed
when the texlive-dummy package is installed.
It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that any necessary resources normally provided by native packages have in fact been installed. A recent TeX Live distribution should suffice. If necessary, packages can be installed directly from CTAN into a local or personal texmf tree.
