The new package texlive-doc
seems to work.
The nice thing about this AUR package is that updates use the network efficiently, in that unchanged parts do not need to be transferred.
To get the same effect with texlive-doc
, build the pkgbase texlive-texmf
from source (using makechrootpkg
). It uses SVN sources (texmf-dist
), which makes me hope for similar update efficiency.
The current SVN checkout size is 18GB, but from that you can build all the texlive-*
packages except texlive-bin
which has a different pkgbase
and different VCS sources.
By the way: I may have overlooked something, but since asp
has been discontinued, the new pkgctl
-based way of accessing PKGBUILD
for standard Archlinux packages seems to require (1) creating an account on gitlab.archlinux.org and (2) creating an unrestricted API access token, both of which I find both irritating and concerning. There should be an anonymous git+https way.

As this package is quite big (currently around 2.4GB uncompressed) I recommend changing your
makepkg.conf
settings to use a low compression level and multi-threaded compression by setting eitheror even faster
