TeX Live package reorganization

[Karthik-Dulam]

TeX Live packages have been reorganised:

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.

TexLive core has been replaced by TexLive basic.
Please update the dependencies for this package on AUR.

Hi @Karthik-Dulam, unfortunately the changes to the texlive-* packages has been extensive and has broken support for tllocalmgr at the moment. I don't see a way to quickly fix this as the texlive-* packages have dropped the *.pkgs list file which are needed by tllocalmgr to know what CTAN packages are part of what texlive collection, and whether they are installed. Note that ArchLinux devs have fixed some underlying issues with using the native tlmgr tool (the wiki hasn't been fully updated to that effect, but this is how I understood it; furthermore development on the texlive-localmgr tool won't be continued). I don't have much time right now to work on tllocalmgr, if you or someone else would like to open a PR, you're more than welcome to do so!
