+$Id$
+Public domain. Originally written 2006, Karl Berry.
+
+This Build directory contains sources and tools which are used in
+building TeX Live, but are not part of the live hierarchy. Each subdir
+has another README with more details.
+
+extra - small non-TL-related trees, just for developers' convenience.
+
+logs - complete logs of all commits to the TL source repositories,
+ through May 2016, when we finally switched to a mailing list
+ (http://lists.tug.org/tex-live-commits)
+
+source - the sources for all the executable programs.
+
+tests - a testing infrastructure, quiescent for years
+ but left here in case it gets revived some day.
+
+Directories named tmp.raw and tmp.cooked are also created/used/removed
+here by ctan2tl, ctan2tds, and place.
+
+If you know enough about TeX to be reading this, then you (or your
+institution) should consider joining a TeX user group (there's a list at
+http://tug.org/usergroups.html) -- if you're already a member, thanks
+for your support!
+
+The TeX Users Group, the oldest such group, produces the TUGboat
+periodical (http://tug.org/TUGboat), sponsors an annual meeting, and
+hosts TeX Live development and distribution.
