Feature request: TeX Live >= 2023

[julien-arino]

22.04 ships with a 2022 version of TeX Live.

A version >=2023 is required for macros (e.g., \NewEnvironmentCopy) to work. These macros are quite useful and therefore being used increasingly frequently.

It'd be nice to ensure 24.04 does use this, even nicer if this could happen with 22.04 too!

Installing texlive from sources is easy (https://tug.org/texlive/quickinstall.html) but takes a while and uses 7GB if you install the whole thing (which you tend to do because fine-tuning your package picks takes even longer that installing the whole thing).

I don't think texlive has that many dependencies, seeing how easy it is to install from sources, so this should be a low hanging fruit. (FYI debian testing seems to be on a 2024 version, but ubuntu server 24.04 ships with a 2023 version that is sufficient for running macros.)
