To avoid this problem one can add package properties such as
‘updater-extra-native-inputs’ in this case:
https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/html_node/Invoking-guix-refresh.html#index-updater_002dextra_002dinputs_002c-package-property
However, the way it’s implemented right now, you have to list the name
of every input that should be preserved by ‘guix refresh -u’, which is
inconvenient in this particular case because there are many of them.
I can think of two ways to improve on that:
1. Use one of the ‘texlive-scheme-*’ packages instead of this long
list. :-)
2. Change the code to interpret extra inputs are regexps instead of
names.
Thoughts?
Ludo’.
