TeXLive on Arch
Query about installing TeXLive on Arch. I know TeXLive is in the Arch repos, and that's how I've been using it. In the past, on non-rolling distros, I used to use TeXLive's own installer because---for instance, using a LTS version of Ubuntu or the like---otherwise it would be woefully out-of-date. Are there issues in installing TeXLive on Arch using the TeXLive installer (rather than installing via pacman)?

Thanks!
Do you personally have an opinion on using TeXLive from the Arch repos vs manually installing?

Re: TeXLive on Arch
TeX live from the repo works great. I have found nothing I didn't need, and you don't have to install all the packages. I'm a grad student in mathematics, for what it matters.
[edit] In general, in Arch, it seems ill advised to install anything with pacman. I've not used AUR dummy package, but I'd be worried about uninstallation.
