Not necessarily in this case. From a thousand miles up, the process
of
creating texlive upstream basically involves taking packages from ctan
and assembling them into the texlive tree using various scripts
(notably ctan2tl and ctan2tds and others) which is then used to create
the texlive distribution. I've been wondering if it would be possible
to adapt these scripts to be used during RPM build time to package
upstream ctan tarballs. More work needed though. An approach like this
is worth considering though I think. Of course, this applies to
packages and fonts mainly, not the tex binaries.
And who handles the dozens of review requests? Our review queue is already
flooded!
