Subject: [ISSUE] texlive-bin should install the infraonly scheme by default
Date: Tue, 21 Sep 2021 22:39:15 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <gh-mailinglist-notifications-41a7ca26-5023-4802-975b-f1789d68868e-void-packages-33048@inbox.vuxu.org> (raw)

New issue by balejk on void-packages repository
https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/33048
Description:
Currently `texlive-bin` packages use the `small` scheme by default (as defined by the build options in the templates), which installs about three hundred packages. As this action is executed immediately on installation by the `INSTALL` script, it is not possible to set any options and in my case the closest mirror is detected incorrectly which results in the installation taking up to 25 minutes.
It would make more sense to me if the post-install hook installed as little as possible, which should be provided by the `infraonly` scheme, so that the user could install only the TeX packages he is interested in (for example I don't require LaTeX and so always uninstall it with `tlmgr` anyway after the installation of the `texlive-bin` package finishes) and possibly make some changes to settings beforehand, such as manually selecting a TeX Archive mirror.
I can open a pull request if this is approved.
