Unfortunately the patch I was testing which just changed some packages to 
build with pdfTex didn’t work and I ended up sending a patch which simply 
switches all packages to build with pdfTeX instead of LuaTeX. It’s 
available on the issue page¹. It didn’t show up on the guix-packages 
mailing list – not sure why.

Ludo reported the problem to the LuaTeX development mailing list (thanks!) 
and a developer there already mentioned that he would work on it ASAP.

I just finished working on the TeX Live 2021 update. The patches are 
available on issue 49408².

It updates all packages matching “texlive*” but doesn’t add any new one. If 
I should add new packages, please let me know. In that case I would also 
need criteria to know which new packages to add. :-)

At this point I don’t see anything else related to TeX I could be doing. 
Feel free to let me know if there’s anything.

Thanks for your feedback!
