I was using texLiveFull until recently, but now it's marked broken and a
comment points users to the texlive.combine method. I tried checking out an
older version of pkgs/tools/typesetting/tex but the dependencies don't line up
with the rest of nixpkgs anymore. Probably I just want the full set of
texlive-new packages, even if they're big, becuase I don't know what I'm doing
enough to pick and choose. So I tried this monster (all collections + inputenc
packages):
myTexlive = with pkgs; texlive.combine {
inherit (texlive)
collection-basic
collection-bibtexextra
collection-binextra
collection-context
collection-fontsextra
collection-fontsrecommended
collection-fontutils
collection-formatsextra
collection-games
collection-genericextra
collection-genericrecommended
collection-htmlxml
collection-humanities
collection-langafrican
collection-langarabic
collection-langchinese
collection-langcjk
collection-langcyrillic
collection-langczechslovak
collection-langenglish
collection-langeuropean
collection-langfrench
collection-langgerman
collection-langgreek
collection-langindic
collection-langitalian
collection-langjapanese
collection-langkorean
collection-langother
collection-langpolish
collection-langportuguese
collection-langspanish
collection-latex
collection-latexextra
collection-latexrecommended
collection-luatex
collection-mathextra
collection-metapost
collection-music
collection-omega
collection-pictures
collection-plainextra
collection-pstricks
collection-publishers
collection-science
collection-texworks
collection-wintools
collection-xetex
greek-inputenc;
};
Still the same error though. Maybe it's a pandoc issue after all.
