One option is to install texlive-2012 for Fedora 17 following the
instructions detailed here:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/TeXLive#TeX_Live_2012_2

For Fedora 18 (that will be released next Wednesday) this is the default.

FWIW the delay in texlive update was due to the (la)tex classes auditing
that was only completed last year.
