TeX Live package reorganization
2023-06-18 - Antonio Rojas

Starting from version 2023.66594-9, TeX Live packages have been reorganized to mirror upstream collections. Even though the new texlive-basic replaces the old texlive-core, many of the texlive-core contents (including language specific files) are now split between different packages. To find out which Arch package contains a specific CTAN package, you can use the tlmgr utility, eg.
$ tlmgr info euler | grep collection
collection: collection-latexrecommended
which means the euler CTAN package is contained in `texlive-latexrecommended`. You may also use `pacman -F` to query for specific files.



A new metapackage `texlive-meta` is available to install all subpackages (except for language specific ones), and the new `texlive-doc` package provides the full documentation for offline use.
