How to know the list of files in a bundle (example: texlive)

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!

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.
