Well, texlive is itself a distribution and has many subpackages, but this is not
a texlive subpackage.  Previously Fedora used tetex, and thus you will see many
tetex-* package still in the distribution, but due to the change we prefer to
have a tex-distribution-neutral naming scheme; hence, tex-fonts-hebrew.

See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Minutes20071002 for the packaging
committee decision.  Unfortunately I think this fell through the cracks and
wasn't  ever written into the guidelines anywhere; if you'd prefer to to wait
until that is done and I can refer you directly to the guidelines, I'd understand.

Anyway, this package builds OK; rpmlint has the following complaints:

  W: file-not-utf8 /usr/share/doc/texlive-fonts-hebrew-0.1/hebhello.tex
Normally we fix these up, but I'm not sure what to do with tex files.

  W: dangling-relative-symlink /usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/public/culmus 
   ../../../../fonts/culmus
  W: dangling-relative-symlink /usr/share/texmf/fonts/afm/public/culmus 
   ../../../../fonts/culmus
It's OK to have links to files in other packages as long as they're pulled in
via dependencies, which is the case here since fonts-hebrew, a dependency, will
pull in culmus-fonts.

  W: invalid-license GPL
Please use an appropriate License: tag from http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing.

  W: obsolete-not-provided tetex-fonts-hebrew
If you want to replace the existing tetex-fonts-hebrew package, you need to
provide a proper upgrade path.  See
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/NamingGuidelines#Renaming.2Freplacing_existing_packages
for more information.
