Michael,
> Here it is:

> http://mpeters.us/fc_extras/tetex-prosper-1.00.4-0.3.src.rpm
>
This version has a critical problem as it creates unowned directories:
Steps to reproduce the problem:
1) system without tetex-doc installed
2) install tetex-prosper
3)
3.1) rpm -qf /usr/share/texmf/doc
file /usr/share/texmf/doc is not owned by any package
3.2) rpm -qf /usr/share/texmf/doc/latex/
file /usr/share/texmf/doc/latex is not owned by any package
Possible solutions
------------------
1) require tetex-doc
for me requiring an 50+ MB RPM is overkill.
2) split the documentation into tetex-prosper-doc and require tetex-doc
in this new package
3) in the %files section replace
%{texpkgdoc}
by
%{_texmf}/doc/
Now tetex-prosper will own the directories listed in 3.1) and 3.2).
Note: I have been using the last one.
Other minor (and pedantic) notes
--------------------------------
* don't use tabs in the specfile. Expand them to spaces
* install -d is similar to mkdir -p
you can drop the first and the second install commands in the
%install section
Regards,
jpo
