+4.6 Cross compilation
+=====================
+
+In a cross compilation a "build" system is used to create binaries to be
+executed on a "host" system with different hardware and/or operating
+system.
+
+ In simple cases, the build system can execute binaries for the host
+system. This typically occurs for bi-arch systems where, e.g.,
+'i386-linux' binaries can run on 'x86_64-linux' systems and 'win32'
+binaries can run on 'win64' systems. Although sometimes called "native
+cross", technically this is not cross compilation at all. In most such
+cases it suffices to specify suitable compiler flags. It might be
+useful to add the configure option '--build=HOST' to get the correct
+canonical host name, but note that this should _not_ be '--host=HOST'
+(*note (autoconf)Hosts and Cross-Compilation::).
+
+ In order to build, e.g., 32-bit binaries with 'clang' on a 64-bit
+MacOSX system one could use:
+
+ TL_BUILD_ENV="CC='clang -arch i386' \
+ CXX='clang++ -arch i386' \
+ OBJCXX='clang++ -arch i386'" \

+4.6.1 Cross configuring
+-----------------------
+
+In a standard cross compilation, binaries for the host system cannot
+execute on the build system and it is necessary to specify the configure
+options '--host=HOST' and '--build=BUILD' with two different values.
+
+ Building binaries requires suitable "cross" tools, e.g., compiler,
+linker, and archiver, and perhaps a "cross" version of 'pkg-config' and
+similar to locate host system libraries. Autoconf expects that these
+cross tools are given by their usual variables or found under their
+usual name prefixed with 'HOST-'. Here a list of such tools and
+corresponding variables:
+
+ ar AR
+ freetype-config FT2_CONFIG
+ g++ CXX
+ gcc CC
+ icu-config ICU_CONFIG
+ objdump OBJDUMP
+ pkg-config PKG_CONFIG
+ ranlib RANLIB
+ strip STRIP
+
+In order to, e.g., build 'mingw32' binaries on 'x86_64-linux' with a
+cross compiler found as 'i386-pc-mingw32-gcc' one would specify
+
+ --host=i386-pc-mingw32 --build=x86_64-linux-gnu
+
+or perhaps
+
+ --host=mingw32 --build=x86_64-linux CC=i386-pc-mingw32-gcc
+
+but this latter, especially, might require adding 'CXX' and others.
+
+ Configure arguments such as 'CFLAGS=...' refer to the cross compiler.
+If necessary, you can specify compilers and flags for the few auxiliary
+C and C++ programs required for the build process as configure arguments

+
+4.6.2 Cross problems
+--------------------
+
+The fact that binaries for the host system cannot be executed on the
+build system causes some problems.
+
+ One problem is that configure tests using 'AC_RUN_IFELSE' can compile
+and link the test program but cannot execute it. Such tests should be
+avoided if possible and otherwise must supply a pessimistic test result.
+
+ Another problem arises if the build process must execute some
+(auxiliary or installable) programs. Auxiliary programs can be placed
+into a subdirectory that is configured natively as is done for
+'texk/web2c/web2c', 'texk/dvipsk/squeeze', and 'texk/xdvik/squeeze'.
+The module 'libs/freetype2' uses the value of 'CC_BUILD', 'BUILD-gcc',
+'gcc', or 'cc' as the compiler for the auxiliary program.
+
+ The situation for installable programs needed by the build process is
+somewhat different. A rather expensive possibility, chosen for the ICU
+libraries in module 'libs/icu', is to first compile natively for the
+build system and in a second step to use these (uninstalled) programs
+during the cross compilation.
+
+ This approach would also be possible for the tools such as 'tangle'
+used in the module 'texk/web2c' to build the WEB programs, but that
+would require first building a native 'kpathsea' library. To avoid this
+complication, cross compilation of the WEB or CWEB programs requires
+sufficiently recent installed versions of 'tangle', 'ctangle',
+'otangle', and 'tie'.
+
+ Building 'xindy' requires running the host system 'clisp' binary,
+thus cross compilation is not possible.

+A.6 PROFILES
+============
+
+A _profile_ file contains all the values needed to perform an
+installation. After a normal installation has finished, a profile for
+that exact installation is written to the file 'tlpkg/texlive.profile'.
+In addition, from the text menu one can select 'P' to save the current
+setup as a profile at any time. Such a profile file can be given as the
+argument to '-profile', for example to redo the exact same installation
+on a different system. Alternatively, you can use a custom profile,
+most easily created by starting from a generated one and changing
+values, or an empty file, which will take all the defaults.
+
+ Within a profile file, each line consists of
+
+ _variable_ [_value_]
+
+ except for comment lines starting with '#'. The possible variable
+names are listed below. Values, when present, are either '0' or '1' for
+booleans, or strings (which must be specified without any quote
+characters). Leading whitespace is ignored.
+
+ If the variable 'selected_scheme' is defined and _no_ collection
+variables at all are defined, then the collections required by the
+specified scheme (which might change over time) are installed, without
+explicitly listing them. This eases maintenance of profile files. If
+any collections are specified in a profile, though, then all desired
+collections must be given explicitly.
+
+ For example, a line
+
+ selected_scheme scheme-small
+
+ along with definitions for the installation directories (given below
+under "path options") suffices to install the "small" scheme with all
+default options. The schemes are described in the 'S' menu in the text
+installer, or equivalent.
+
+ Besides 'selected_scheme', here is the list of variable names
+supported in a profile:
+
+ *collection options* (prefix 'collection-')
+
+ Collections are specified with a variable name with the prefix
+'collection-' followed by a collection name; there is no value. For
+instance, 'collection-basic'. The collections are described in the 'C'
+menu.
+
+ Schemes and collections (and packages) are ultimately defined by the
+files in the 'tlpkg/tlpsrc/' source directory.
+
+ *path options*
+
+ It is best to define all of these, even though they may not be used
+in the installation, so as to avoid unintentionally getting a default
+value that could cause problems later.
+
+ TEXDIR
+ TEXMFCONFIG
+ TEXMFVAR
+ TEXMFHOME
+ TEXMFLOCAL
+ TEXMFSYSCONFIG
+ TEXMFSYSVAR
+
+ *installer options* (prefix 'instopt_')
+
+'instopt_adjustpath' (default 0 on Unix, 1 on Windows)
+
+ Adjust 'PATH' environment variable.
+
+'instopt_adjustrepo' (default 1)
+
+ Set remote repository to a multiplexed CTAN mirror after
+ installation; see '-repository' above.
+
+'instopt_letter' (default 0)
+
+ Set letter size paper as the default, instead of a4.
+
+'instopt_portable' (default 0)
+
+ Install for portable use, e.g., on a USB stick.
+
+'instopt_write18_restricted' (default 1)
+
+ Enable '\write18' for a restricted set of programs.
+
+ *tlpdb options* (prefix 'tlpdbopt_')
+
+ The definitive list is given in 'tlpkg/TeXLive/TLConfig.pm', in
+'%TeXLive::TLConfig::TLPDBOptions', together with explanations. All
+items given there _except_ for 'tlpdbopt_location' can be specified.
+Here is the current list:

+ tlpdbopt_sys_info
+ tlpdbopt_sys_man
+ tlpdbopt_w32_multi_user
-A.6 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
+ *platform options* (prefix 'binary_')
+
+ For each supported platform in TeX Live (directories under 'bin/'),
+the variable 'binary_'_PLATFORM_ can be set. For example:
+
+ binary_x86_64-linux
+
+ If no 'binary_' variable is specified, the default is whatever the
+current machine is running.
+
+ In releases before 2017, many profile variables had different names
+(not documented here; see the 'install-tl' source). They are accepted
+and transformed to the names given above. When a profile is written,
+the names above are always used.

-Live guide, <http://tug.org/texlive/doc.html>) can be set to multiple
-directories, but they must be enclosed in braces and separated by
-commas, so quoting the value to the shell is a good idea. Thus:

+ The subcommand 'auxtrees' allows adding and removing arbitrary

+ adds a tree to the list, and 'auxtrees remove' _tree_ removes a
+ tree from the list (if present). The trees should not contain an
+ 'ls-R' file (or files might not be found if the 'ls-R' becomes
+ stale). This works by manipulating the Kpathsea variable
+ 'TEXMFAUXTREES', in 'ROOT/texmf.cnf'. Example:
- Warning: The general facility is here, but tinkering with settings in

+
+B.7 CONFIGURATION FILE FOR TLMGR
+================================
+
+There are two configuration files for 'tlmgr': One is system-wide in
+'TEXMFSYSCONFIG/tlmgr/config', and the other is user-specific in
+'TEXMFCONFIG/tlmgr/config'. The user-specific one is the default for
+the 'conf tlmgr' action. (Run 'kpsewhich -var-value=TEXMFSYSCONFIG' or
+'... TEXMFCONFIG ...' to see the actual directory names.)
+
+ A few defaults corresponding to command-line options can be set in
+these configuration files. In addition, the system-wide file can
+contain a directive to restrict the allowed actions.
+
+ In these config files, empty lines and lines starting with # are
+ignored. All other lines must look like:
+
+ key = value
+
+ where the spaces are optional but the '=' is required.
+
+ The allowed keys are:
+
+'auto-remove', value 0 or 1 (default 1), same as command-line option.
+
+'gui-expertmode', value 0 or 1 (default 1). This switches between the full GUI and a simplified GUI with only the most common settings.
+
+'gui-lang' _llcode_, with a language code value as with the command-line option.
+
+'no-checksums', value 0 or 1 (default 0, see below).
+
+'persistent-downloads', value 0 or 1 (default 1), same as command-line option.
+
+'require-verification', value 0 or 1 (default 0), same as command-line option.
+
+'update-exclude', value: comma-separated list of packages (no space allowed). Same as the command line option '--exclude' for the action 'update'.
+
+'verify-downloads', value 0 or 1 (default 1), same as command-line option.
+
+ The system-wide config file can contain one additional key:
+
+'allowed-actions' _action1_ [,_action_,...] The value is a comma-separated list of 'tlmgr' actions which are allowed to be executed when 'tlmgr' is invoked in system mode (that is, without '--usermode').
+
+ This allows distributors to include the 'tlmgr' in their packaging,
+ but allow only a restricted set of actions that do not interfere
+ with their distro package manager. For native TeX Live
+ installations, it doesn't make sense to set this.
+
+ The 'no-checksums' key needs more explanation. By default, package
+checksums computed and stored on the server (in the TLPDB) are compared
+to checksums computed locally after downloading. 'no-checksums'
+disables this process.
+
+ The checksum algorithm is SHA-512. Your system must have one of
+(looked for in this order) the Perl 'Digest::SHA' module, the 'openssl'
+program (<http://openssl.org>), the 'sha512sum' program (from GNU
+Coreutils, <http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils>), or finally the
+'shasum' program (just to support old Macs). If none of these are
+available, a warning is issued and 'tlmgr' proceeds without checking
+checksums. (Incidentally, other SHA implementations, such as the pure
+Perl and pure Lua modules, are much too slow to be usable in our
+context.) 'no-checksums' avoids the warning.

+B.8 CRYPTOGRAPHIC VERIFICATION
+==============================
+
+'tlmgr' and 'install-tl' perform cryptographic verification if possible.
+If verification is performed and successful, the programs report
+'(verified)' after loading the TLPDB; otherwise, they report '(not
+verified)'. But either way, by default the installation and/or updates
+proceed normally.
-B.7 USER MODE
+ If a program named 'gpg' is available (that is, found in 'PATH'), by
+default cryptographic signatures will be checked: we require the main
+repository be signed, but not any additional repositories. If 'gpg' is
+not available, by default signatures are not checked and no verification
+is carried out, but 'tlmgr' still proceeds normally.
+
+ The behavior of the verification can be controlled by the command
+line and config file option 'verify-repo' which takes one of the
+following values: 'none', 'main', or 'all'. With 'none', no
+verification whatsoever is attempted. With 'main' (the default)
+verification is required only for the main repository, and only if 'gpg'
+is available; though attempted for all, missing signatures of subsidiary
+repositories will not result in an error. Finally, in the case of
+'all', 'gpg' must be available and all repositories need to be signed.
+
+ In all cases, if a signature is checked and fails to verify, an error
+is raised.
+
+ Cryptographic verification requires checksum checking (described just
+above) to succeed, and a working GnuPG ('gpg') program (see below for
+search method). Then, unless cryptographic verification has been
+disabled, a signature file ('texlive.tlpdb.*.asc') of the checksum file
+is downloaded and the signature verified. The signature is created by
+the TeX Live Distribution GPG key 0x06BAB6BC, which in turn is signed by
+Karl Berry's key 0x30D155AD and Norbert Preining's key 0x6CACA448. All
+of these keys are obtainable from the standard key servers.
+
+ Additional trusted keys can be added using the 'key' action.

-B.8 CONFIGURATION FILE FOR TLMGR
-================================
-
-A small subset of the command line options can be set in a config file
-for 'tlmgr' which resides in 'TEXMFCONFIG/tlmgr/config'. By default,
-the config file is in '~/.texliveYYYY/texmf-config/tlmgr/config'
-(replacing 'YYYY' with the year of your TeX Live installation). This is
-_not_ 'TEXMFSYSVAR', so that the file is specific to a single user.
-
- In this file, empty lines and lines starting with # are ignored. All
-other lines must look like
-
- key = value
-
- where the allowed keys are 'gui-expertmode' (value 0 or 1),
-'persistent-downloads' (value 0 or 1), 'auto-remove' (value 0 or 1), and
-'gui-lang' (value like in the command line option).
-
- 'persistent-downloads', 'gui-lang', and 'auto-remove' correspond to
-the respective command line options of the same name. 'gui-expertmode'
-switches between the full GUI and a simplified GUI with only the
-important and mostly used settings.

-B.9 TAXONOMIES
-==============
-
-tlmgr allows searching and listing of various categorizations, which we
-call _taxonomies_, as provided by an enhanced TeX Catalogue (available
-for testing at <http://az.ctan.org>). This is useful when, for example,
-you don't know a specific package name but have an idea of the
-functionality you need; or when you want to see all packages relating to
-a given area.
-
- There are three different taxonomies, specified by the following
-options:
-
-'--keyword'
-
- The keywords, as specified at <http://az.ctan.org/keyword>.
-
-'--functionality'
-
- The "by-topic" categorization created by J\"urgen Fenn, as
- specified at <http://az.ctan.org/characterization/by-function>.
-
-'--characterization'
-
- Both the primary and secondary functionalities, as specified at
- <http://az.ctan.org/characterization/choose_dimen>.
-
-'--taxonomy'
-
- Operate on all the taxonomies.
-
- The taxonomies are updated nightly and stored within TeX Live, so
-Internet access is not required to search them.
-
- Examples:
-
- tlmgr search --taxonomy exercise # check all taxonomies for "exercise"
- tlmgr search --taxonomy --word table # check for "table" on its own
- tlmgr search --list --keyword # dump entire keyword taxonomy
- tlmgr show --taxonomy pdftex # show pdftex package information,
- # including all taxonomy entries
