    :point_up: Edit: The deduplication saves us precisely in week 0. The size of updates over the year is negligible compared to the first installation.
    We would lose the historical tree images but get historical schemes.

    They don't run on rsync, though.

    Or do they?
    They do.
    And yet, we still have #19 open.
    That confused me. 😉

    Oh, I thought I marked it to be closed by !23. Seems I did not. I'll close it.

    Feels good to close issues. 👍️

    No, see multi-arch builds are done in a single command. 🙂

    It would slow things down, but they are a single command that produces a single fatter image.

    TL installs are specific to the architecture so it will actually blow up size quite a bit.

    Just the binaries, but it would blow up the CI time quite a lot.
    The .gitlab-ci.yml file would still be nice and simple, though.

    Yes, of course.

    However, #15 has another big issue; specifically, some binaries such as biber are not available for ARM.
    Forget about Docker, I can't get biber working on my Raspberry Pi without compiling it myself.

    Right. But situation is improving for linuxmusl (i.e. alpine) iirc. So that could be a viable alternative because MUSL is self-contained and should also be able to be run on ARM.

    Is MUSL the reason why biber is unavailable on ARM?

    From the tex-live mailing list, I got the vague impression it's unavailable because the author did not care to release the binaries for ARM.
    Raspbian compiles their biber, so it's clearly doable, just useless because it's not kept in sync with current biblatex.

    Well, not completely useless, but you have to use Debian's TeX Live.
    Which is quite... historic.

    Right. It may still make sense to pursue #11 even if not all binaries are available. Does not seem as a priority, though.

    Exactly.

    Hi, I've submitted TeX-Live/texdoc#79 to have it redirect to texdoc.org if the user has no documentation locally installed. This is a fairy popular program, so I just want to make sure that you think that the server can handle the load.
