You may freely use, modify and/or distribute this file.
This directory is the central repository for auxiliary files, mostly
shell scripts, needed to build the TeX Live (TL) tree. They are used by
all packages `owned' by the TL tree, i.e., maintained as part of TL.
-All these files are maintained elsewhere and are available from the
-GNU gnulib project (http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gnulib). The
-script Master/tlpkg/bin/tl-update-auto attempts to keep them up to date,
-except when the sources are frozen.
+ylwrap and missing come from automake; ltmain.sh comes from libtool.
+Those must be manually updated when new versions of the packages are
+installed. The Master/tlpkg/dev/srclist.txt file has checks for these,
+but updates are not automatic. (We generally try to use the latest
+official release, as it is available directly from GNU, not any distro
+version.)
+
+relpath is locally written.

+The rest of these files are maintained elsewhere and are available from
+the GNU gnulib project (http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gnulib). The
+script Master/tlpkg/bin/tl-update-auto attempts to keep those up to date
+(except when the TL sources are frozen).
