+shortdesc TeX Live configuration settings
+longdesc This package serves on an installed system as configuration file.
+longdesc We have to remember these settings for additional package
+longdesc installation, removal, etc.
+longdesc
+longdesc There are two types here:
+longdesc 1) If the key starts with opt_ this is an option that can be
+longdesc set by the user either at installation time or via tlmgr later.
+longdesc 2) If the key starts with setting_ this value cannot be changed
+longdesc by the user directly with tlmgr, but only by other actions.
+longdesc Currently there are only two settings supported, and the second
+longdesc is only used in unusual cases:
+longdesc 2a) setting_available_architectures lists all available platforms
+longdesc and should be always present
+longdesc 2b) setting_platform *overrides* the auto-detected platform.
+longdesc This value will only be present when you forced a specific
+longdesc architecture with -force-arch to install-tl
+longdesc
+longdesc The value of __MASTER__ for the location field tells the
+longdesc installer to use the present directory itself. For example,
+longdesc the DVD can be mounted anywhere and we want the installer to work.
+longdesc
+longdesc Concerning the 00* names:
+longdesc All packages starting with 00texlive are ``virtual packages'',
+longdesc in the sense that no containers are generated and these packages
+longdesc are never split into .src and .doc sub-packages in the tlpdb.
