Description Tomasz Golinski 2014-06-24 10:49:56 UTC
As you emerge revtex package, you get the following files:

/usr/share/doc/revtex-4.1_p2-r1/apstemplate.dvi
/usr/share/doc/revtex-4.1_p2-r1/aiptemplate.dvi
/usr/share/doc/revtex-4.1_p2-r1/apssamp.pdf
/usr/share/doc/revtex-4.1_p2-r1/aipsamp.pdf
/usr/share/doc/revtex-4.1_p2-r1/aipsamp.dvi
/usr/share/doc/revtex-4.1_p2-r1/apssamp.dvi

However, you don't get .tex files for them and these files are useless without uncompiled source. 

In my opinion, sample files should be installed as .tex, .dvi and .pdf files, while template files only as .tex files (they don't even build cleanly).

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Jonas Stein gentoo-dev 2014-09-18 22:30:28 UTC
verified it here too:
qlist revtex | grep sample
returns no sample folder. It should be present in 
(/usr/share/)
doc/latex/revtex/sample

as aps states on: https://journals.aps.org/revtex/revtex-faq
