The texlive package database is the authoritative source of information. The file texlive.tlpdb is included in the texlive-bin package, and we’re using it in the importer. I also added (@ (guix import texlive) files-differ?), which compares a texlive package’s output directory with the files that the texlive.tlpdb lists for that package. You can also use it to check what package should provide a certain file. I do this all the time to figure out if our existing packages are incomplete or if we’re just missing a package. -- Ricardo
