texlive 2012

[Zsolt Udvari]

The reason of splitting: texlive is arch-dependent, texlive-texmf is
arch-independent.
The versions are different.

You can build texlive.spec with older texlive-latex-bibtex-data. This
is the reason why need bootstrap.
So you'll build texlive2012 with texlive-texmf2008, after you'll build
texlive-texmf2012 with texlive2012, and rebuild texlive2012 with
texlive-texmf2012.

I think the maintain isn't harder with two little(?) specs.
I think it would be nice to create a policy: which type of files
belongs to texlive and which belongs to texlive-texmf and apply this
policy.
Some time ago, when I've split texlive.spec to texlive.spec and
texlive-texmf.spec many things was adhoc-style :) So first need a
big-big cleaning and I think after this the maintain will be simple.
With one big spec: the build will be hard, see above, as you wrote:
you'll build the texlive.spec's texlive-bin and after you'll install
these packages and build texlive.spec's texlive-texmf?
