Hi,
Should updates to TexLive or its prerequisites fall under the
core-updates policy (or whatever its successor is)?
My Guix is heavily modified and building TexLive takes an hour and a
half. Grafting it takes nearly as long. Thanks!
Kind regards
Felix

What TexLive are you talking about? There are two TeX Live distributions
in Guix: the monolithic one, i.e., `texlive', and the modular one, i.e.,
the set of all `texlive-*' packages.
Monolithic TeX Live is not substitutable so no matter how heavily
modified your Guix is, you will always rebuild it at every dependency
change.
My suggestion is to use modular TeX Live with a reasonable set of
packages. I.e., you certainly don't need to pull `texlive-scheme-full',
the modular counterpart of `texlive'.
Regards,
