<p>Hello!</p>
<p>I think I found an issue in the documentation distribution of
TexLive for Fedora. In particular, it doesn't seem to come with
the LaTeX2e reference manual.</p>
<p>Here are the steps I took:</p>
<ol>
<li>I installed TexLive's medium scheme: `<font face="monospace">dnf
install texlive-scheme-medium</font>`</li>
<li>I expected it to come with "<a
href="https://ctan.math.utah.edu/ctan/tex-archive/info/latex2e-help-texinfo/latex2e.pdf">LaTeX2e:
An unofficial reference manual</a>": `<font face="monospace">texdoc
-l latex2e</font>`</li>
<li>With that command, I realized that the distribution had only
installed a French copy of the document.</li>
<li>I dug around in dnf and found that 'texlive-scheme-medium' had
included the 'texlive-latex2e-help-texinfo' package, but that
wasn't sufficient for adding the document to my machine.</li>
<li>I installed texinfo-doc to get the document I wanted: `<font
face="monospace">dnf install texlive-latex2e-help-texinfo-doc</font>`</li>
<li>TexDoc was still scoring the document second, after the French
version. I adjusted TexDoc's scoring so that the English version
would return first: `<font face="monospace">texdoc -f</font>` to
find the right config file, `<font face="monospace">echo
adjscore /latex2e-fr = -2 > ~/texmf/texdoc/texdoc.cnf</font>`</li>
</ol>
<p>This seemed like an odd document to exclude, especially
considering that the French copy is present, so I thought I would
tell someone. I'm using a Fedora 38 machine. My repolist looks
like this:</p>
<p><font face="monospace">$ dnf repolist<br>
repo id repo name<br>
fedora Fedora 38 -
x86_64<br>
fedora-cisco-openh264 Fedora 38
openh264 (From Cisco) - x86_64<br>
fedora-modular Fedora Modular
38 - x86_64<br>
updates Fedora 38 -
x86_64 - Updates<br>
updates-modular Fedora Modular
38 - x86_64 - Updates</font><br>
</p>
<p>I hope this helps, and that I've contacted the right people!
Please let me know if you have any questions.</p>
<p>Thanks,<br>
Aaron F<br>
