+ Part II.5: As a special case, we need to update tlnet even after the
+final freeze.
+ pretest is going on. To do that, the idea is to make a tag+branch for
+ the last update before switching to the pretest, check that out,
+ and use it for such critical updates. To do that,
+ a) look at https://tug.org/svn/texlive/tags/ to choose the right
+ tag name. For TL19 (during the TL20 pretest), it was texlive-2019.4,
+ since .0-3 were used during the release.
+ b) look at https://tug.org/pipermail/tex-live-commits/ to determine
+ the right revision number: probably the "autoupdate" during the
+ last build before the pretest setup. For TL19, that was 53984.
+ c) run the svn commands given below to create the tag and branch.
+ d) make working checkout of the new branch (at this point we should
+ be fine to wipe out the old branch checkout, if there was one).
+mkdir /home/texlive/branch
+cd !$
+tlyear=2019
+subnum=4
+nice -19 svn co -q svn://tug.org/texlive/branches/branch$tlyear.$subnum .
+
+ e) make the required update, probably most easily by copying the
+ affected files from the trunk. Running ctan2tl (or c2l) inside the
+ branch checkout should also work, if no other changes have intervened.
+
+ f) remake tlnet (not tlpretest); cron.tl does too much overhead for
+ this delicate situation, so run the commands by hand.
+ 1) update tlpdb so we'll get the new revision number;
+ must run from branch, not trunk, or all will be wrong!
+cd /home/texlive/branch/Master/tlpkg/bin # must be in branch directory
+ Use Catalogue snapshot saved above (at "preserve Catalogue")
+ to avoid myriad Catalogue changes.
+ If files have been removed without any other changes to a given
+ package (hopefully not), add --fix-reverse-revisions.
+catdir=/home/texlive/catalogue-freeze
+./tl-update-tlpdb --catalogue=$catdir
+ Check that only expected changes are made.
+ Might be easier to run this, get the new revision number(s),
+ then revert and manually edit if there are additional unneeded
+ changes. Don't worry about 00texlive.*, they aren't distributed.
+
+ 2) for safety, make a backup of tlnet:
+tar -cf /tmp/tlnet.tar -C /home/ftp/texlive/tlnet . # remove when done
+
+ 3) update tlnet, again from the branch, not trunk. Double check!
+ we don't want to update the installer packages, as they have
+ already been getting updated from trunk, so are newer.
+cd /home/texlive/branch/Master/tlpkg/bin
+./tl-update-tlnet --no-install-pkgs
+ It will take about an hour to run. hopefully only the intended
+ packages will get updated. if not, that's why we made the tar backup.
+
+ g) Update the tlnet-final directory in historic:
+tlnet_live=/home/ftp/texlive/tlnet
+tlnet_historic=/home/ftp/historic/systems/texlive/2019/tlnet-final
+rsync -av -n $tlnet_live/ $tlnet_historic/ # trailing /'s needed
+# remove the -n after checking that only expected files are updated.
