Hi.
I just started an rpm package repository for noarch tetex packages.
The goal is to be as distribution independent as possible, which is why I'm restricting it to noarch packages (fortunately the vast majority of tetex packages on CTAN are independent of arch)
This is intended to be a community effort - I'm looking for people willing to discuss the packaging standards, and people looking to contribute packages that conform to the discussed packaging standards.
