    In progress: building TeXLive from source started · 3504297e

    Until now, we weren't actually building TeXLive from source, but using the
    TeXLive manager to download appropriate binaries. This doesn't allow us to
    actually keep the source of the LaTeX packages (and build them offline for
    example). For a fully (including the PDF) reproducible project, it is thus
    necessary to have a controlled build of TeXLive packages from source.
    
    With this commit this work has started. It is just important to note that
    this work is not yet finished: we only install the base TeX installation,
    we don't even have `latex' yet. Also the installation is set to be in a
    non-standard directory (`$(idir)/textest') for testing purposes (so it
    doesn't conflict with other installed software, enabling easy
    checks).
    
    Because of these in-completeness issues, the `./configure' script will
    crash after the base TeXLive installation has been finished.
