Hello,

I'd like to include the "tex-team" branch into master. Its main selling
point is that it provides a fix for <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/75893>.

It also removes deprecated variables among other minor fixes.

Hello,

In its new version the "tex-team" branch contains the following
worth-mentioning changes:

1. It fixes speed issues (again!), as reported in
   <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/75893>,

2. It bumps TeX Live to 2025.2,

3. It makes format files (.fmt) reproducible. It should be a big step
   forward complete TeX Live reproducibility.

It also replaces `texlive-updmap.cfg' with `texlive-local-tree', with
a slight change to its semantics: the latter cannot recognize TeX Live
packages outside its argument anymore. In practice, it was already
considered a bad practice (by me!) to provide TeX Live packages both
inside and outside `texlive-updmap.cfg', so it shouldn’t break much
package definitions out there.

After the r-team merge, I have rebased and pushed again.
There is no urgency, this branch is third in line after python-team and
qt-team.

And after the python-team merge, I have rebased on top of the
d47379b8dc6fb79bd9f06598ce567aec80194365 commit on master, which
is known to the data service.

The branch is built in parallel with qt-team (but with less priority,
since qt-team is first in line). However, in case problems are
discovered with qt-team, tex-team could jump ahead.

Thank you.

If I read reports from CI correctly, texlive-bin doesn’t build on i686.
I don’t know why.

There’s also an issue with r-minimal I’m going to fix in a moment.

I confirm when trying to do
   ./pre-inst-env guix build --system=i686-linux texlive-bin

It fails with:
/tmp/guix-build-texlive-bin-2025.2.drv-0/build/texk/web2c/../../../source/texk/web2c/luatexdir/luazip/src/luazip.c:183:(.text+0x192): undefined reference to `zzip_open_ext_io64'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

This seems to be the same error as
   https://tug.org/pipermail/tex-live/2024-July/050773.html
Maybe the solution to remove zziplib related files given in
for Debian
   https://tug.org/pipermail/tex-live/2024-July/050782.html
would also work for us?

This is now "fixed" on tex-team branch: 32bit machines will use bundled
zziplib whereas other ones will use system library. This is not perfect
but it is as much as I can do at the moment.

I cleaned up the branch, rebased it on a green-ticked commit from master
and pushed it. I think it is in good shape now and ready to merge,
assuming QA agrees with me.

Alas, QA didn’t agree with me: TeX Live didn’t build on 32bit systems!
Indeed, the branch makes use of libfaketime in order to generate
reproducible format files. But I hit the same bug as for NSS, described
at <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/72239>. I therefore used the same
workaround: 64bit systems use libfaketime whereas 32bit ones rely on
datefudge.

In any case, the tex-team branch is complete now. I cleaned it once
again to include the latest fixes for reported build failures and
rebased it on top of a recent commit. It can be merged whenever the
coverage is considered to be sufficient.

For the record, here are the included changes:

1. Speed issues fixes (again!), as reported in
   <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/75893>.

2. TeX Live bumped to 2025.2.

3. Reproducible format files (.fmt).

4. TEXMFVAR and TEXMFCONFIG set to, respectively, XDG_CACHE_HOME and
   XDG_CONFIG_HOME, for a tidier HOME.

Hi, compared with master 15 packages are failed according to the data

savane                       3.10

Particularly kmime and kconfig, which block all other KDE packages, I
took a quick look but haven't figure them out.

I think we should fix those, while other branches (next is tex-team) can
go first.

Thanks.

I am seeing one build failure, in asymptote:
   https://qa.guix.gnu.org/branch/tex-team/package-changes?i686-linux-change=broken&i686-linux-change=still-failing&i686-linux-change=unknown-to-failing&i686-linux-change=new-failing

The build log finishes like this:

 )
!pdfTeX error: pdflatex (file tcrm1000): Font tcrm1000 at 600 not found
 ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!

Would it be enough to add a font file?

There is also a new version of asymptote, but I doubt that this would
solve the problem.

I noticed it, too. I didn’t fix it because it has very few dependents
and can be fixed on master.

The error is that the LaTeX process cannot generate required font shapes
because TEXMFVAR it not writable. It used to be $HOME/something but now
is $XDG_CACHE_HOME/something. None are writable during build, but
a phase in asymptote package relocates $HOME to "/tmp", which silently
made TEXMFVAR writable. It is no longer sufficient. The fix, as is done
for other packages, is to (setenv "TEXMFVAR" "/tmp") in another phase.

I can fix it in the branch or after it is merged.

Since you already know how to do it, I would suggest to do it directly
in the branch, which will not cause many rebuilds. Maybe profit from it
and rebase on a newer master commit again at the same time, such as
   63088c295d81cc3d0e808c478d4fe479a2c90102

Never mind, I just did it myself and pushed, without the fix for
asymptote.

Hello,

I have just pushed the branch to master and deleted it. Thanks, Nicolas,
for this massive update!

For the record, QA reported a few newly failing packages:
gpsbabel, python-sunpy, python-tensorly, qtpositioning.
But I did not see any relationship with the texlive update; in any case
these could be handled on master.

Jami has a few system tests (for the jami-service-type), so ideally
should be fixed before this gets merged.
