-Installer/Updater/Layout
-========================
-
-layout
-------
-
-root directory ROOT (texlive2008 or texlive-2008 or ...)
-
- ROOT/texmf-dist
- ROOT/texmf
- ROOT/texmf-config
- ROOT/texmf-var
- ROOT/bin
-
- ROOT/tlpkg/texlive.tlpdb
- ROOT/tlpkg/tlpobj
- ROOT/tlpkg/ ...
-
-As suggested by Reinhard, and discussed with Karl, I propose to put the
-texlive.tlpdb NOT into ROOT, but "hide" it somehow, i.e., put it into
- ROOT/tlpkg
-
-
-distribution methods
---------------------
-
- inst CD/DVD
-
- contains all the packages in zip (or lzma or ...) form, plus the
- installer and the texlive.tlpdb
-
- live DVD
-
- contains a live tree, no zip media, plus the texlive.tlpdb
-
- network
-
- zip files
- "package version" file
- texlive.tlpdb (??? necessary, could be ignored)
-
-
-format of the zip files
-----------------------
-(can be another compression method)
-
-The zip files contain the files with pathes relative to ROOT, i.e.,
- ./texmf-dist/...
- ./texmf/...
- ./bin/...
-
-Furthermore, the zip file contains a TLPOBJ file in
- ./tlpkg/tlpobj/NAME.tlpobj
-
-This allows the distribution of "packages" even from outside of TeX Live
-(imagine that someone creates a minion-pro.zip for installation into
-the TeX Live installation).
-
-OTOH this is a duplication in some cases since the inst and live media
-the same information is present in the texlive.tlpdb. But I think that the
-win of "self containment" over "no duplication" is more important.
-
-Furthermore, Karl suggested that some people may want to recreate the
-texlive.tlpdb in case it was destroyed. For this we have to ship the
-tlpobj files.
-
-
-Installation procedure
-----------------------
-
-- from inst CD
---------------
-
- files in the zip
- tlpobj data from shipped texlive.tlpdb or the zip file
-
-- from network (used also for the updater)
-------------------------------------------
-
- files in the zip
- tlpobj data from the zip file or from the network tlpdb (if present)
-
-
-- from full/live DVD:
----------------------
-
- files from the DVD
- tlpobj data from the shipped texlive.tlpdb
-
-
-(from here on action for all)
