Hello,
I am considering moving from the monolithic texlive distribution
(which is not easy to update with an essentially full hard drive...)
to the modular one, but do not find
share/texmf-dist/tex/xelatex/xunicode/xunicode.sty
Does anyone know if this exists in some package?
Do we have a way of looking up which package contains a given file,
if at all (with cuirass or the data service)?
Andreas

From the manual [1], I get:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guix shell -C texlive-base sed coreutils grep -- tlmgr info xunicode
package: xunicode
category: Package
shortdesc: Generate Unicode characters from accented glyphs
longdesc: The package supports XeTeX's (and other putative future similar engines') need for Unicode characters, in a similar way to what the fontenc does for 8-bit (and the like) fonts: convert accent-glyph sequence to a single Unicode character for output. The package also covers glyphs specified by packages (such as tipa) which define many commands for single text glyphs.
installed: Yes
revision: 30466
sizes: doc: 5k, run: 205k
relocatable: No
cat-version: 0.981
cat-license: lppl1.3
cat-topics: preprocessor unicode
cat-related: euenc
collection: collection-latexrecommended
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
so I guess this .sty is included by default. Is it not the case?

Yeah, it is a request for a long time. But nothing I am aware of.

Hm, the following fails:
guix shell texlive-base texlive-cm-super texlive-latex-geometry texlive-fontspec -- xelatex wasser.tex
...
! LaTeX Error: File `xunicode.sty' not found.
And when I install the packages into my user profile, it also fails.
It is definitely missing; my ~/.guix-profile/share/texmf-dist/tex
looks like this:
dr-xr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 1. Jan 1970 generic/
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 1. Jan 1970 latex/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 95 1. Jan 1970 luatex -> /gnu/store/xnv7ixprml580hsqr22zn9kmbmnh9swf-texlive-hyph-utf8-59745/share/texmf-dist/tex/luatex
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 89 1. Jan 1970 plain -> /gnu/store/r4vpwxfm9piynv8yw9igh0ghxpbc5dh5-texlive-etex-59745/share/texmf-dist/tex/plain
There should be a subdirectory xelatex.

The tlpdb says that this file is provided by the xunicode package –
which we don’t have yet.
[time passes]
We now have texlive-xunicode as of commit
793ce82c9d5ead8457da9cec8d1d8afc12704f10.

Not much actually!

Thanks a lot! I used "guix import texlive floatflt" to add this package.
Congratulations for a nice importer! (Although I stumbled over needing to
add #:trivial? #t, which becomes obvious only when comparing with
neighbouring packages.)
The result for my file still is not quite like the monolithic texlive.
First, babel complains as follows:
Package babel Warning: No hyphenation patterns were preloaded for
(babel) the language `German (trad. orthography)' into the format.
(babel) Please, configure your TeX system to add them and
(babel) rebuild the format. Now I will use the patterns
(babel) preloaded for \language=0 instead on input line 62.
I have installed texlive-generic-babel-german and texlive-hyphen-german;
have you got an idea what I am missing?
Second, the font (Linux Libertine O) looks ragged, and a "--" is typeset
as two dashes instead of an ndash. Suggestions are also welcome!

If you're going for xelatex, I suggest migrating from Babel to
Polyglossia, as that's recently been fixed and tested to work fine with
e.g. generating the IPython documentation in PDF format.
Hope that helps,
Maxim

yes and no :)
Yes, because it is an interesting option that I would like to check out.
No, because I was wondering whether I could move to the modular texlive with
a profile that would allow me to still process all my old files. So currently
this is not easily possible.
Thanks nevertheless!
Andreas
