SRPM URL: http://jgu.fedorapeople.org/dvipdfmx-20071115-1.fc9.src.rpm
Description: The dvipdfmx (formerly dvipdfm-cjk) project provides an eXtended version of the dvipdfm, a DVI to PDF translator developed by Mark A. Wicks.

Commentary: Another package currently part of texlive, for which texlive is not upstream, hence the desire to split it out as a separate package.

dvipdfm seems to be unmaintained, and so dvipdfmx should probably be considered to be upstream for dvipdfm. I note that texlive currently ships both dvipdfm and dvipdfmx. Can we just ship dvipddfxm - does it have all the functionality of dvipdfm?

I have included the cdi-x.map stuff from texlive spec file, but I'm not 100 percent sure this is still needed.

Currently this package obsoletes and provides dvipdfm.
