You posted a neat little change for that some time ago, but I cannot find it any more. * texlive. I’m working on splitting the package up. (An aggressive firewall at work put a stop to that work, but I’ll try to resume very soon.) * very explicit but cryptic stack traces. I think that all errors should be reported more nicely. The error can still be printed (on demand?), but Guix probably should not spill its innards too readily. -- Ricardo GPG: BCA6 89B6 3655 3801 C3C6 2150 197A 5888 235F ACAC https://elephly.net
