Hello:


I've been trying to use the texlive distribution from guix, but noticed 
a particular issue with a few of the texlive-bin utilities, namely 
latexindent and latex-git-log. There may be more that suffer this issue.


Following the discussion on IRC -- when texlive-bin gets installed, it 
is split up from texlive-texmf. This results in the perl utilities 
having the wrong @INC path, namely they end up with (using latexindent 
as an example):


/gnu/store/jr9czrjx7slnda355xfmbv6hkkdpl5qi-texlive-bin-20190410/share/texmf-dist/scripts/latexindent 



rather than the expected path containing their includes:


/gnu/store/cqfhb3hfvyxacn200n0jxkf3wq8328yq-texlive-texmf-20190410/share/texmf-dist/scripts/latexindent 



This results in a runtime error which looks a bit like "Can't locate 
LatexIndent/Document.pm in @INC (you may need to install the 
LatexIndent::Document module)". A simple fix for this would be to 
migrate texlive-scripts from texlive-bin to texlive-texmf (in tex.scm) 
or to perhaps merge texlive-bin and texlive-texmf. However, since I 
haven't done much with guix outside of just using it, I don't really 
know what the best approach would be. Perhaps it would make sense to 
discuss what the best approach would be here?


Thanks!

Would you mind trying what you are doing on the core-updates branch?
There have been many texlive things fixed there, such as the tlmgr
utility in commit 9e78ea79f81d9eec0fab9cbe204899e384973649.  Also,
04a0b1e09abce99857e7930336421ca6d15ae630 introduced support for using
multiple TeX Live trees at once, which may or may not fix the issue at
hand.

Let me know if you need help with something.

Thank you!

Maxim
