The +TDS reserves the name <code>texmf</code> as the name of the root directory +(folder) of the hierarchies. Files supplied as part of the +distribution are put into the standard hierarchy. The location of the +standard hierarchy is system dependent, but on a Unix system it might +be at +<i>/usr/local/texmf</i>, or +<i>/usr/local/share/texmf</i>, or +<i>/opt/texmf</i>, or +a similar location, but in each case the TeX files will be under the +<i>/texmf</i> subdirectory. +<p/>There may be more than on ‘local’ hierarchy in which additional files +can be stored. In the extreme an installation can have a local +hierarchy and each user can also have an individual local hierarchy. The +location of any local hierarchy is not only system dependent but also user +dependent. Again, though, all files should be put under a local <i>/texmf</i> +directory. +<p/>The TDS is published as the output of a TUG +<a href="FAQ-TUGstar.html">Technical Working Group</a>. +You may browse an <a href="http://tug.org/tds/">on-line version</a> of the +standard, and copies in several other formats (including source) are +available on CTAN. +<dl> +<dt><tt><i>TDS specification</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/tds.zip">tds</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/tds.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/tds/">browse</a>) +</dl> +<p/><p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=tds">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=tds</a> +</body> |
