+Originally written 2004, Karl Berry. Public domain.
+
+These are Sebastian's magic scripts for updating packages from CTAN into
+TeX Live. Here is the basic idea for the standard LaTeX package:
+
+cd <TL>/Build/cdbuild
+p=pkgname # eg, numprint
+(cd <CTAN>/macros/latex/contrib && tar cf - $p) | tar xf - # e.g.
+test -d cooked || mkdir cooked # scripts don't do it for you
+./ctan2tds.pl $p # which makes ./cooked/$p; check that carefully!
+cd cooked
+../place $p # which copies files into Master and does p4 add/del cmds.
+p4 revert -a # excise unchanged files from change list.
+<update TPM:Version in the tpm file>
+p4 submit # when everything looks good
+
+See Tools/README, and the ctan2tl and tpm-ctan-check scripts in Tools.
