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. |
