Inconsistent LaTeX installs on different platforms #523

Closed gregfrog closed 4 months ago

gregfrog commented 2 years ago

The pdfpages LaTeX package is not available on all RHub-provided platforms. It appears to be missing from the Fedora clang and gcc devel versions. For example this Fedora run https://builder.r-hub.io/status/WebAnalytics_0.9.5.tar.gz-ae6e2964bbe54dca8aa50238ebdc35f8 fails, not finding the package, but this Debian build https://builder.r-hub.io/status/WebAnalytics_0.9.5.tar.gz-c73e99562b7c40bea42555bfec77e0c6 succeeds.

It looks like the problem is that on Debian and Ubuntu, pdfpages is part of the texlive-latex-recommended package and on Fedora the packages must be installed individually. I didn't get an answer when I asked which packages are present in the CRAN build environment, so the outstanding question must be what does CRAN install? When I add TIKZ graphics to a vignette (coming some time in the not too distant future) I'll know more.

Looks like the relevant Fedora meta package is texlive-collection-latexrecommended

Ben, The Fedora docker file does not install the texlive recommended latex packages (texlive-collection-latexrecommended), the Debian one does (package texlive-latex-recommended). There appear to be other missing packages. The CRAN build apears to install everything from TexLive.

This issue is about the previous R-hub system, it does not apply to the new system, so I am closing it now. Please see https://r-hub.github.io/rhub/ for the new system, R-hub v2.
