And because TeX packages relies on Subversion, it raises some questions =E2=80=93 for the interesting reader, see [1]. Here, I would like to open a discussion about the way we are packaging TeX, quoting Nicolas from [2]: There are two approaches going on here. `simple-texlive-package' tr= ies to provide a tessellation of the full texlive, i.e., if you install (assuming they are defined in Guix) every standalone texlive packag= e, you will get the exact full texlive distribution, whereas `texlive-ref' + `texlive-build-system' tries to generate a minimal = (a bit too minimal considering missing documentation) working system. I think the old way is error prone. So, do we (not only the two of us, obviously) agree on the `simple-texlive-package' approach? If so, what should we do about "source"? 2: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/62570#10 Other said, any objection to go from this pattern: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (define-public texlive-foo (package (name "texlive-foo") (version (number->string %texlive-revision)) (source (origin (method svn-multi-fetch) (uri (svn-multi-reference (url (string-append "svn://www.tug.org/texlive/tags/" %texlive-tag "/Master/texmf-dist")) (locations '("/metafont/" "/fonts/source/public/modes/")) (revision %texlive-revision))) (file-name (string-append name "-" version "-checkout")) (sha256 (base32 "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx")))) (build-system gnu-build-system) (arguments `(#:tests? #f ; no test target #:phases [...] --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- to this pattern: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (define-public texlive-foo (package (inherit (simple-texlive-package "texlive-foo" (list "/tex/generic/foo") (base32 "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx") #:trivial? #t)) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- It is about ~35 packages, if I count correctly.
