Hi Fedora,

TeXLive 2023 (composed of texlive-base and texlive SRPMs) is in rawhide now. I've done local testing to try to make sure it doesn't break anything obvious... but the size and scope of TL means that there are probably still some bugs introduced by this update.

Change wiki page here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/TeXLive2023

Please let me know if something stops building as a result of the new texlive packages, either via email, bugzilla, twitter, mastodon, or carrier pigeon, with as much detail as you can provide.

There is at least one clear bug: texlive-texaccents (from texlive-base) will not install at the moment, because it depends on snobol4. Snobol4 is not in Fedora yet, I have made a new package which is pending review (and it shouldn't be a hard review), so help with reviewing would be appreciated:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2182080

Note that texlive-texaccents used to be Python, but upstream decided to rewrite it in SNOBOL. The only thing (I think) that depends on texaccents is texlive-collection-binextra.

I do not plan to push TeXLive 2023 to any stable Fedora, just let it get inherited for Fedora 39+.

Also, this is the fastest I've ever turned around a TeXLive build (mostly because I had just updated most things for 2022 in January).
