Does anyone know if there is a package containing biblatex.sty on any
of the unofficial repos for F14?

Thanks very much for your help!
Best wishes,

Maybe you can try the TeXLive 2010 test repo the TeXLive maintainer maintains?

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/TeXLive

My copy of that file is from the TeXLive 2010 distribution from ctan.
So its not managed by rpm/yum.

Hope this helps.

I have found it simplest to use the official TexLive install and update
using tlmgr. The fedora repo's have been lagging behind quite a bit for
some time now and until they catch up it may make sense to just use the
official versions. YMMV.

I too use biblatex as does everyone I work with - and its nice that
we're all running the same version of latex.

I set up a mirror (with excludes to keep only what I need - in my case
os/x and linux) and I update locally from that as I have found some of
the mirrors a bit slow.

Also - fyi - you need quite a bit more than the style file biblatex.sty
- there is a directory with several files subdirs in it.

This is from my install (from official upstream texlive 2010):

% ls biblatex
total 348
4 bbx/ 256 biblatex.sty 4 blx-natbib.def
4 biblatex.cfg 4 blx-compat.def 4 cbx/
64 biblatex.def 4 blx-mcite.def 4 lbx/

Indeed this is the only wise way to proceed since the texlive
distribution for fedora is too buggy (look at my previous posts on the
topic) but you have to be ready to renounce to some packages (such as R,
ktikz and a2ps) which rely on the texlive fedora distribution and yum
refuse to install if you don't install it.

I'm trying to write a fake package to fool yum but still 6 provides need
to be satisfied in order to get yum cope with the native texlive
installation. Attached the spec for the fake rpm if you find what it is
missing please let me know.

That would be great - R is a bit painful for sure ...

Btw, installing the rpms from the 2010 test repo messes up pdfjam. Which
maintainer should be informed for this? jnovy?

Best wishes,
