Yes. That's likely the hardest part.

Just sent a version 2 of the script, with support for Fedora 26.
I tested with a Fedora lxc container. The only package I had to manually install there is perl. I'm pretty sure that a minimal Fedora image (outside a LXC) already comes with perl, so I guess the script is an improvement over manually checking all needed dependencies.

There is a package called "python-sphinx-latex" that seems to install almost everything needed for Fedora 26. This one, plus: xelatex texlive-adjustbox
It also optionally require DeJavu fonts.
are enough for PDF build. You still need: ImageMagick graphviz
for both html and pdf targets, if you want to have support for images.

Yeah, that's why I think the right solution is to have a script that will identify the distribution and install the missing dependencies.
Thanks, Mauro
