Hello Leo,

I have very little experience creating Guix packages, but I spent
some time working on the TeX Live ones recently so hopefully my comments 
and suggestions below are helpful.

I like adding a separate package for libkpathsea, and it’s what other 
distros such as Debian and Ubuntu do. Thank you for implementing it. I just 
have a few comments below:

According to a recent message from Ludo¹, ‘package/inherit’ is meant to be 
used in specific situations, and IIUC it doesn’t apply here:

> It should also be (package (inherit …) …) rather than (package/inherit
> …).  The latter is only useful when defining variants of a package (same
> version, same code) where the same security updates would apply.

I also wonder whether inheriting from texlive-bin is the best option. One 
disadvantage is that it makes this package too sensitive to changes in 
texlive-bin. As an example, it doesn’t work anymore with the version in 
core-updates because in the branch, the ‘postint’ phase has been renamed to 
‘post-install’. Also, I assume many texlive-bin inputs aren’t needed for 
texlive-kpathsea, causing unnecessary work when building
texlive-libkpathsea and packages depending on it such as evince.

In addition, if it were a separate package then texlive-bin could be made 
to use it, rather than shipping its own copy.

Perhaps a ‘texlive-source-src’ variable analogous to ‘texlive-extra-src’ 
and ‘texlive-texmf-src’ would be useful?

If you decide to continue inheriting from texlive-bin, you’d also need to 
change the synopsis and description.

I'm a little confused here, as that is exactly the rationale I'm
applying.  When texlive-bin gets grafted due to kpathsea, the graft
also applies to texlive-libkpathsea.  Granted, there is a large room
for false positives, that would result in gratuitous grafts for
texlive-libkpathsea, but I prefer erring on the side of security rather
than graftlessness here.

The postinst thing was my mistake – instead of inheriting from
%standard-phases as I should, I naïvely inherited texlive-bin's phases
instead.  It turns out, I actually don't need any of those (and if I
did they'd be trivially copyable).

On the part of inputs, sure, we could make libkpathsea smaller, but I
have little experience with TeX Live and its build system, so I decided
not to change its inputs for now.  If you have suggestions on how a
better closure could be achieved, please do bring them forth.

Perhaps that's an idea worth entertaining, but given the TeX Live build
system I fear it's not an overwhelmingly practical one.

I'm… not too sure on this one.  What would texlive-source-src capture? 
Just the upstream source?  Then we'd have to carefully apply all the
fitting patches.  The same as (package-source texlive-bin)?  What's the
point then?

Fair enough, that's on me.  I've sent a v2 applying some of your
suggestions.  Please feel free to point out anything I've missed or you
noticed in addition to what's already discussed.

My reasoning was that libkpathsea is just a small part of texlive-bin, so 
in principle a minority of texlive-bin security updates would apply to it. 
But you are right, there may well be some which would apply.

That is nice solution.

I was able to build the package with an empty input list. I compared a 
texlive-libkpathsea built with your unchanged patches and one with the 
empty input list and they are identical, except for the hash of the
/gnu/store directory. Even the binary files, which I compared using 
hexdump. So my suggestion is to use an empty input list. :-)

I can look into that separately, after your patches go in.

Yes, the point would be just to not duplicate the origin information. There 
would indeed be more work sorting out which security updates apply.

Thanks for checking, v3 now uses an empty input list.

I'm not really convince that would help us.  texlive-libkpathsea still
needs to inherit from the origin so as to strip away all the others
sources.  So would every other part of texlive if built on its own. 
Perhaps one could instead do computed origins, but that increases
complexity rather than reducing it.  Therefore I'm not convinced
extracting this origin into its own variable is beneficial.

Regards,
Leo

Yes, that is true. In my previous message I was agreeing with you that the 
origin idea didn’t bring much benefit. Sorry for not being clear.
