During the tlpretest phase of building TeX Live, the pretesting
repositories tend to be more closely aligned with the latest build
than the standard svn. Consequently, it is useful to build TeX Live
and BasicTeX using a distribution in a folder named

	texlive2022pretest

which is updated as follows
	
	cd
	cd texlive2022pretest
	rsync -a --delete --exclude="mactex*" ftp.math.utah.edu::tlpretest .

To go directly to the TUG site:

	cd
	cd texlive2022pretest
	rsync -a --delete --exclude="mactex*" ftp.tug.org::texlive/tlpretest .

Inside, you will find the standard install script "install-tl" which can install TeX Live
as usual. (Add --verbose --dry-run to see changes) So

	cd
	cd texlive2022pretest
	rsync -a --verbose --dry-run --delete --exclude="mactex*" ftp.tug.org::texlive/tlpretest .


The one caveat is that "texlive2022pretest" doesn't contain a binary directory;
instead the binaries are distributed in various install subpackages. So if new binaries have been created, they need to be submitted to Karl Berry and then you must wait for 24 hours until these binaries are in the pretest version.
