[Fedora TeX Live] Hyphenation and texlive-scheme-full

[Ivo Lopez]

	Hi,


there are more than two years that I am using texlive on Fedora and it is 
getting better at each new version.  Thank you for the excellent job.  There is 
a minor but persistent problem:

When texlive has some packages updated, it lost the hyphenation support. Let me 
explain more:  I have installed Fedora 17 and texlive-scheme-full and everything 
was working.  After a recent update of texlive I have observed that the 
hyphenation support from babel was lost.  Latex file example:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[spanish]{babel}
\begin{document}
   test
\end{document}

I have received the following warning message at the .log file:

"Package babel Warning: No hyphenation patterns were loaded for the language 
`Spanish' I will use the patterns loaded for \language=0 instead."

To solve this I used:
"yum erase texlive-hyphen-spanish"
"yum install texlive-scheme-full"

After that, the problem is solved.  But if I use again "yum erase 
texlive-hyphen-spanish" everything continues to work fine, although I supposed 
that it would fail again...


In addition, I have a small suggestion:  when I install texlive-scheme-full it 
installs all the available languages and documentation. Consequently the 
directory /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/doc has 240MB from 1.2GB of 
/usr/share/texlive.  I suggest that it will be good if there is a package named 
like texlive-scheme-full-nodoc, that will not install the packages like 
texlive-collection-documentation-*.  I know that texlive-scheme-medium has a 
limited number of languages but I think that it is easier to install additional 
languages than discover some missing special packages  as  when we use 
texlive-scheme-medium.

Best regards,

	Ivo

I have a suggestion:  when I install texlive-scheme-full it installs all the 
available languages and documentation. For example, the directory 
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/doc has 240MB from 1.2GB of /usr/share/texlive.  I 
suggest that it will be good if there is a package named like 
texlive-scheme-full-nodoc, that will not install the packages named like 
texlive-collection-documentation-*.

The TeXLive installation has an option to install "all" the packages but the 
user can choose the supported languages.  When selecting only some languages it 
reduces substantially the installation size and the time spent.
