Hello,

the idea of having two packages, one containing the data and invisible to 
the user, and one containing the binaries and depending on the data did not 
work: The binaries need to create an index of the data that is stored in 
the data directory, but a package has no write rights in another one, which 
is coherent with the functional approach of guix.

So I ended up creating one package with two outputs, "out" and "share"; the 
user just installs the main package and has no reason to touch the "share" 
part (which would not do any harm, either: installing it would create 
100000 unused symlinks in the user profile...). Just in case you wonder, 
the "out" part contains the man and info pages in a subdirectory named 
"share", while the "share" part contains three subdirectories not named 
"share". The file is attached, and nitpicking is welcome. (Caveat: As said 
before, there are 1.5GB to download, and about 3GB to install, plus the 
same during unpacking.)

Concerning the license, there is not only one, see
   http://www.tug.org/texlive/copying.html .
But everything is FSF and Debian free. How about adding a license "mixed" 
or "fsf-free"? Or do you have a good suggestion?

Andreas

PS: So that I can fully drop my Debian packages, now we only need X.org to 
enable xdvi ;-)

Hello,

the attached patch does what its commit message says. It is the fruit of many
trials and discussions with Ludovic. The tricky thing was to link to the
kpsewhich binary in texlive-bin, but to make it take its configuration file
texmf.cnf from texlive-data. I ended up wrapping all binaries and providing
them with the suitable value of TEXMFCNF.

The real goal of the patch is to make it easy to create a second package
texlive-small in a second step. This package shall inherit from texlive,
but have as input texlive-texmf-small, which is created as texlive-texmf,
but after deleting a big chunk of data; I would say, all the documentation
and most of the fonts. Such a smaller package could be a native input for
packages creating their documentation from a latex source, for instance.

Andreas

From 57f19f831c4b5df30b80e58066f0c4f1fd4ac9fb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH] gnu: texlive: Make the package structure more modular.

* gnu/packages/texlive.scm (texlive-bin, texlive-texmf): New variables.
  The first one contains the binaries; the second one the texmf tree.
  (texlive): Drop output "data". Create the output "out" as the union
  of the suitable subdirectories of texlive-bin and texlive-texmf, and
  wrap the binaries, setting TEXMFCNF to the value corresponding to
  texlive-texmf.

If I understand correctly then the two packages, texlive and
texlive-small, will essentially be independent.

It would be nice to have an incremental strategy with a hierarchy, say
texlive-base, texlive-common, texlive-extra, texlive-all, where each
package is non-overlapping with other ones. Then a new functionality to
aggregate packages into a new package where you specify which packages
to include. Something like

guix package --aggregate texlive --with texlive-base texlive-common ...

This would be useful for packages with plug-ins, to bundle compilers with
a selection of libraries, ...

Regards,
Fede
