By contrast, teTeX was \"only\" 261 MB. There are even quite a few packages in Nixpkgs that unwisely have a dependency on TeX Live, thereby adding 3 GB to their (build) closure.\r\n\r\nWe should be able to do better in Nixpkgs by properly componentizing TeX Live. Ideally, every CTAN package would be its own Nixpkgs package, with proper dependencies. Then other packages can have finegrained dependencies on those TeX packages that they need. And of course there should be some wrapper packages like texLiveFull to allow easy installation of all or some reasonable subset of the distribution."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/comments/140493806","html_url":"https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/287#issuecomment-140493806","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/287","id":140493806,"user":{"login":"datakurre","id":160447,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/160447?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/datakurre","html_url":"https://github.com/datakurre","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/datakurre/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/datakurre/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/datakurre/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/datakurre/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/datakurre/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/datakurre/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/datakurre/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/datakurre/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/datakurre/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-09-15T18:38:42Z","updated_at":"2015-09-15T18:38:42Z","body":"I assume that it would be enough to apply https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/commit/8f33b8cc93006c97a8f6b7ede20214992ed31fa8 and try again... so, rebuilding..."}}
