1 – 10+ Years of TeX Live in a Graph Database

TeX Live is the most widely used TeX distribution, supporting Windows, Mac, and all kind of Unixes. About 11 years ago, we introduced an online distribution, shipping about 4Gb of programs and data with daily updates. Tracking this in a graph database gives a sizable graph of 300,000 nodes and 16 million vertices.
