Hello SL+TeX Users,
For the needs of my own network I've developed a Python script called "tl2rpm" which aims to automatically pull a TeXLive package from the CTAN site and build the relevant package for SL. It is based on a C program from Jindrich Novy from 2011. It can build one package or a set of packages in a row. This script is suited to provide supplemental TeXLive packages, not the ones supplied by SL (and no "collection" meta-package either). Packages built in this fashion can subsequently put into an additional repository. The archive comes with a small readme. Hope this helps. Have a nice day.
