I decided not to wait for the texlive to reappear in <BR>
<A HREF="http://jnovy.fedorapeople.org/texlive/2012/packages.fc17/">http://jnovy.fedorapeople.org/texlive/2012/packages.fc17/</A><BR>
<BR>
Since Fedora accepted texlive into the stable branch of 18, I bit the bullet and ran 'fedup' to upgrade.<BR>
I set the texlive-release.repo to:<BR>
enabled=0<BR>
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: <BR>
<BR>
<TT>$ rpm -qa| grep '^tex-*' > installed_Tex_packages_F17.txt</TT><BR>
<BR>
followed by (sudo or as root):<BR>
<TT># yum remove $(cat installed_Tex_packages_F17.txt)</TT><BR>
<BR>
%% this took awhile, but got rid of all of the old packages + many dependencies in the now current FC18/updates repository.<BR>
<BR>
So, I got myself a fresh texlive with (sudo or as root) :<BR>
<BR>
<TT># 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</TT><BR>
[edit as you see fit]<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
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.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
All is working, and these are now 'regular' Fedora updates. Again, a monumental task by Jindrich and others that is well appreciated.<BR>

Hi all <BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
I second the vote of thanks for the massive effort that Jindrich. and others have put in!
<BR>
<BR>
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 <BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Thanks!
<BR>
<BR>
Cheers
Peter<BR>
