As a workaround, I have added an explicit definition for $TEXMFCACHE in my .bash_profile, but I wanted to report this as a bug in case someone more familiar with the package could fix it. -- Christopher Rodriguez [-- Attachment #2: signature.asc --] [-- Type: application/pgp-signature, Size: 832 bytes --] ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

Could you share your workload to demonstrate the problem (reproducer), if it's not too complicated? texlive-bin sets GUIX_TEXMF; perhaps TEXMFCACHE is derived from it in the default texlive config.

Absolutely. I've taken the liberty of uploading a terminal log[1] to demonstrate. Basically, as I'm using these piecemeal packages, I am trying to include as few packages as possible, and therefore keep things minimal. When I do so, however, the selection of packages does not set TEXMFCACHE. As I use lualatex, this means it is autodefined, and incorrectly, as the following (note the braces; might be a failed variable or something?): {$GUIX_PROFILE/share/texmf-dist/} This ends up creating a \{/ directory in the same directory as lualatex is run, and thus doesn't ever create a cache for fonts to use. If the braces weren't there, it would instead be pointing to a read-only directory in the store (or rather, a symlink to one) I believe. The guix shell I used in my example[1] was the following: guix shell --pure texlive-luaotfload texlive-bin bash \ texlive-tex-ini-files texlive-latex-base tree coreutils I feel this is the minimal packages needed to show this issue, though the above will always fail to create a /usable/ cache: It includes none of the fonts (and so I bail on the compilation while it is looking for a default font with 'X'. However, the directory has already been created at this point, and therefore the problem already exists. The same behavior, minus the failed compilation, can be observed in my full manifest of texlive packages[2], though some of those are self-defined in my personal channel[3]). If GUIX_TEXMF is being set by texlive-bin, perhaps that variable should be used to set an otherwise-empty TEXMFCACHE in texlive-bin as well? If overrides are needed, the user could then still set that variable in their profile. And this would allow the out-of-the-box experience for piecemeal texlive packages to be smoother. (Also, so long as it points to a writable directory, it doesn't really matter to me /where/ that directory is. I chose $HOME/.local/share/texmf-dist/ because it seemed standard, but I'm necessarily saying it is the 'correct' one.) What do You think?
