Recent Version Of Latex
I’ve moved most of my user’s PCs from OpenSuse (11.x, unmaintainend now) to CentOS 6.4. On my old OpenSuse latex was “texlive-latex-2010” and current version on CTAN is texlive-2013.
But on CentOS 6.4 I’ve only the old texlive-latex-2007 and several sty files available on my previous config are not available now and users cannot compile their previous documents.
Is there a Yum repo from where I can install a more uptodate latex environment for CentOS6.4 ?
Thanks
Patrick

Maybe try to recompile a fedora srpm…?
I’ve used texlive-2011 from this repo, works well for me:
http://jnovy.fedorapeople.org/texlive/2011/packages.el6/
It does replace some rpms from base though, so I have exclude=texlive*
for CentOS base and updates repos.
the el6 release file is here:
http://jnovy.fedorapeople.org/texlive/2011/packages.el6/texlive-release-2011-5.20120115_r25109.el6.noarch.rpm
I’ve tried to use texlive-2013-0.1.20130608_r30832.fc19.src.rpm but I can’t build it! I fall in a sort of circular dependancy:
rpmbuild –clean –rebuild ./texlive-2013-0.1.20130608_r30832.fc19.src.rpm error: Failed build dependencies:
