Since creating and managing TeXlive takes a lot of time and work for developers: wouldn't it be better to leave that task to users with knowledge of TeXlive? Let me explain: TeXlive can be installed in its latest version by downloading the installer from its own website. But, the dependencies that other packages have on TeXlive should be removed. For example lyx, texstudio, etc. Which would save more than 1 gigabytes of hard drive space. To solve the above: Is it possible to create a dummy package with the TeXlive dependencies in order to be able to always install the latest version of TeXlive without having to install the TeXlive offered today by solus? It would be enough for users to have the instructions for compiling the package that resolves all the dependencies. Something similar to the instructions that exist in TeXlive to create the dummy package for debian. Or something similar to the already existing dummy packages for fedora and opensuse on CTAN. Or, also, as they have done in linux void, who solved the problem by creating a package that installs the latest version of the TeXlive installer and thus the user manages all TeXlive packages and sources individually. You can install and update all the necessary packages to work with LaTeX, LuaTeX, ConTeXt, etc. Using a dummy package in solus would save a lot of work and TeXlive would always stay up to date.
In fact I have used debian, fedora, void and opensuse just because they have those dummy packages. I'd love to go back to using solus, but I'm not excited because you can't install TeXlive and losing more than 1 gigabytes on dependencies that I'm never going to use isn't very exciting to me.
Another option occurred to me: remove TeXlive as a dependency in all solus packages. Thus, users would have the possibility of installing and managing TeXlive from the web, or else installing TeXlive manually as a solus distribution package. It's what slackware has done.
Thank you.
