I’m a heavy user of LaTeX and stuff. I installed texlive
but, AFAIK, texlive
's own package manager, called tlmgr
, doesn’t work when installed through a distro (and indeed it fails when run on Clear Linux). To assess whether the distro’s bundle will be enough for my use or whether I should rather install the upstream version, I’d like to know the list of files installed by the bundle but I couldn’t find how to list them…? Additionally, I’d like to know which version of texlive
is installed…
texlive
is the full annual release from TL, the 2019 release.
The list of files can be seen in the spec file.

Thank you! How does one find this? It would be cool if it was accessible from the bundle page too actually…

Agreed. I’ll move this to our wishlist. Thanks!
A post was split to a new topic: Bundle descriptions

You can
$ sudo swupd bundle-add os-core-update-index
it place all the swupd
information to /usr/share/clear/allbundles
So you can do
$ cat /usr/share/clear/allbundles/texlive
Usually this bundle is used by CL swupd developers.

OK thank you. Still, I tend to think it would be very convenient to see this on the web page listing all bundles.
