(I'm sorry for late reply.) I think the main point is that this monolithic TeX packaging is being phased out in favor of a more granular one. For basic user docs see: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/release-15.09/pkgs/tools/typesetting/tex/texlive-new/default.nix#L1 The important parts of this new TeX packaging should be in our binary caches. Mirroring of the original upstream sources is rather bad there. --Vladimir
