Description: 
Latexmk is a perl script for running LaTeX the correct number of times to resolve cross references, etc; it also runs auxiliary programs (bibtex, makeindex if necessary, and dvips and/or a previewer as requested). It has a number of other useful capabilities, for example to start a previewer and then run latex whenever the source files are updated, so that the previewer gives an up-to-date view of the document.

This is my first package submission.  I need a sponsor.

This package produces no warnings from rpmlint.  However, there is one issue that concerns me.  The latexmk script looks in various unclean places for a global configuration file (see the definition of rc_system_files).  If I am reading the FHS correctly, it should be looking for /etc/latexmk.  On the other hand, I am not including a global configuration file in this package since the defaults are sane for a Fedora system.  How should I handle this issue: ignore it, create an empty /etc/latexmk and patch the script to look there, something else?
