Version-stable CTAN repo for the TinyTeX install #171
Conversation
* Fixes rocker-org#169. * TeXLive release bound to the base Debian image. * CTAN repo exposed as build argument. * Backported down to verse:3.4.3. * Use http for TeXLive 2016: install-tl did not support https repositories. * Work around known non-breaking errors of `tlmgr path add` in TeXLive 2016 (https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/314079).

Looks great, 👏 Many thanks for this! |

Just a note: unfortunately, falling back to the 2016 version also introduces a bug in permissions handling that we had reported to TeXLive team and had patched, see #104 and rstudio/tinytex#77 (comment) . I believe this is what is now biting @annakrystalli in #172. I'm not sure of a great fix -- we can add |

@cboettig, I see we can have a problem here... Just to make sure we are on the same page, is it correct that the issue should still be revealed by using the header below, as you mentioned in in #104 (comment)? ---
title: "Untitled"
header-includes:
- \usepackage{bbm}
output: pdf_document
---If that is the case, I can only reproduce the problem for

@riccardoporreca no, for some reason you will see two permission-related errors: and also the error: However, running the above with so no error occurs. I'm not at all clear why |
|
@cboettig, thanks for details. In particular, when we see it is because This is not any special to docker run --rm rocker/verse:latest R -e "tinytex::tlmgr_install('fancyhdr')"I guess TeXLive 2016 might wrongly report a failure of This is not causing any issue other than So if there are actual issues with using TeX Live 2016 We clearly have an issue |
I also had a quick look at the Dockerfile. There however the base image docker pull rocker/binder:3.6.0
docker run --rm rocker/binder:3.6.0 sh -c ' \
cat /etc/os-release | grep PRETTY_NAME \
&& echo repo: $CTAN_REPO \
&& tex --version | head -n 1 \

Thanks for this! I was worried the successful test was due only to bbm already being installed, but I do see it is being installed twice. that explains why everything I tested gave me the 'already installed' message! So, with the 2018 version in devel, it does look like we have a permissions issue we will have to work around. yeah, good point about the |
|
@cboettig, I have been investigating the issue with the frozen TeX Live 2018 snapshot we use in Update: The approach discussed with @norbusan allows to manually "patch" the TeX Live installation to include the fix discussed in rstudio/tinytex#77 (comment), which is available in telnet archive but only used for the installer. I will include this in the |

@riccardoporreca Re your updated comment;
Is it possible to take this approach to patch what looks like to be mistaken error messages in the 2016 version in Appreciate your thoughts. Thanks! |
Unfortunately the fix to TeX Live mentioned by @norbusan in https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/314079 came after TeX Live 2016 was frozen, hence the same approach does not apply here. However, the corresponding fix was pretty straight-forward and isolated, see https://git.texlive.info/texlive/commit/Master/tlpkg/TeXLive/TLUtils.pm?id=69cee5e1ce4b20f6ebb6af77e19d49706a842a3e, so we could back-port it to the version-stable frozen TeX Live 2016 we use in Here is a quick PoC, reproducing the error... docker run --rm rocker/verse:3.6.1 bash -c '

Thanks @riccardoporreca this looks reasonable to me. |
ENV. The default is onENVrather thanARGto allow going back to the nominal latest repo with empty argument:docker build --build-arg CTAN_REPO= -t rocker/verse:latest-repo .tlmgr path addin TeXLive 2016 (https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/314079).
