I’m pursuing this option. I took the definition of texlive-latex-base from the master branch (which doesn’t depend on LaTeX3) and added it to my branch as texlive-latex-no-l3 (with a few minor changes to get it to build with texlive 2021), and used it as a dependency to build texlive-latex- l3kernel. This worked! Now texlive-latex-l3kernel builds correctly, and the build of texlive-latex-base is attempted (instead of just causing Guix to max out its heap while trying to process a dependency loop, as it was doing before). But the build fails when generating some latex formats – a problem I’m still investigating. But this is progress nevertheless. :-) > If anyone wants to have a look at what I have so far, I pushed my patch > to branch “bug-48064-texlive-2021” at https://gitlab.com/bauermann/guix I just force-pushed this branch with my current version of the patches. -- Thanks, Thiago
