Just in case someone is watching this thread and wondering what we're 
doing with the LaTeX environment on the build machines.

Short answer: nothing

Detailed answer:

- The Linux builders run Ubuntu 20.04 LTS which provides Tex Live. See

https://github.com/Bioconductor/BBS/blob/master/Ubuntu-files/20.04/apt_vignettes_reference_manuals.txt

 ? for the exact list of Deb packages we install on the builders. That's 
all we install there as far as TeX/LaTeX is concerned.

- The Windows builders use MiKTeX. We install MiKTeX once for all when 
we prepare a new Windows machine for the builds and that's it. We never 
touch it again.

- The Mac builders use MacTeX which we also install once for all at prep 
time.

All these installations are stock installations. We don't "tweak" them 
or try to define specific variable environments to change the default 
behavior. They just work out-of-the box like they would on the end-user 
machines.

Just wanted to clarify.

Cheers,

H.
