I am not sure what Martin means, but my take on this is that Norbert Preining has put a LOT of effort into a script which builds Debian packages from the TeX Live master tree. It would be well worth trying to write a different output module on that to generate an RPM instead of a DEB. Maybe it wouldn't work, but it would be good to try. -- Sebastian Rahtz Information Manager, Oxford University Computing Services 13 Banbury Road, Oxford OX2 6NN.
