Hi Guix— I don't always find a LaTeX package on Guix, even if I know its name in CTAN.
There is the package 'texlive', a complete TeX distribution. I chose to install 'texlive-base' plus a number of additional 'texlive-*' packages instead. But now it happens sometimes that a certain package is not available; through ad hoc searching, and sometimes trial-and-error, I manage to install the right Guix package and I can compile my LaTeX document. I have a couple of questions, hoping to make this experience a bit more smooth. * CTAN packages in Guix are sometimes named 'texlive-PACKAGE' and sometimes 'texlive-latex-PACKAGE'. I find it hard to decide if something is LaTeX-specific, so should I search for something like 'texlive*-PACKAGE'? * Is 'texlive' really complete including all packages published on CTAN? * If not, what *is* included in the full TeX Live distribution? I suppose, if I invest a lot of time, I could try to understand CTAN and also more of Guix, but I am hoping that there is a relatively "user friendly" answer available. I know a serious of effort is done to improve the TeX Live situation significantly, but I'm still from time to time at a loss to get a document compiled. Thanks for pointers. —Marco
