Its value is an integer. If the \f(CW\*(C`autobackup\*(C'\fR value is \f(CW\*(C`\-1\*(C'\fR, no backups are removed. If \f(CW\*(C`autobackup\*(C'\fR is 0 or more, it specifies the number of backups to keep. Thus, backups are disabled if the value is 0. In the \f(CW\*(C`\-\-clean\*(C'\fR mode of the \f(CW\*(C`backup\*(C'\fR action this option also specifies the number to be kept.

This option prevents such removals, either for all packages (with \&\f(CW\*(C`\-\-all\*(C'\fR), or for just the given \fIpkg\fR names.

If \f(CW\*(C`gpg\*(C'\fR is not available, by default signatures are not checked and no verification is carried out, but \f(CW\*(C`tlmgr\*(C'\fR still proceeds normally. .PP The behavior of the verification can be controlled by the command line and config file option \f(CW\*(C`verify\-repo\*(C'\fR which takes one of the following values: \f(CW\*(C`none\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`main\*(C'\fR, or \f(CW\*(C`all\*(C'\fR.

With \f(CW\*(C`main\*(C'\fR (the default) verification is required only for the main repository, and only if \f(CW\*(C`gpg\*(C'\fR is available; though attempted for all, missing signatures of subsidiary repositories will not result in an error. Finally, in the case of \f(CW\*(C`all\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`gpg\*(C'\fR must be available and all repositories need to be signed. .PP In all cases, if a signature is checked and fails to verify, an error is raised. .PP Cryptographic verification requires checksum checking (described just above) to succeed, and a working GnuPG (\f(CW\*(C`gpg\*(C'\fR) program (see below for search method). Then, unless cryptographic verification has been disabled, a signature file (\f(CW\*(C`texlive.tlpdb.*.asc\*(C'\fR) of the checksum file is downloaded and the signature verified. The signature is created by the TeX Live Distribution \s-1GPG\s0 key 0x0D5E5D9106BAB6BC, which in turn is signed by Karl Berry's key 0x0716748A30D155AD and Norbert Preining's key 0x6CACA448860CDC13. All of these keys are obtainable from the standard key servers. .PP Additional trusted keys can be added using the \f(CW\*(C`key\*(C'\fR action. .SS "Configuration of GnuPG invocation" .IX Subsection "Configuration of GnuPG invocation" The executable used for GnuPG is searched as follows: If the environment variable \f(CW\*(C`TL_GNUPG\*(C'\fR is set, it is tested and used; otherwise \f(CW\*(C`gpg\*(C'\fR is checked; finally \f(CW\*(C`gpg2\*(C'\fR is checked. .PP Further adaptation of the \f(CW\*(C`gpg\*(C'\fR invocation can be made using the two environment variables \f(CW\*(C`TL_GNUPGHOME\*(C'\fR, which is passed to \f(CW\*(C`gpg\*(C'\fR as the value for \f(CW\*(C`\-\-homedir\*(C'\fR, and \f(CW\*(C`TL_GNUPGARGS\*(C'\fR, which replaces the default options \f(CW\*(C`\-\-no\-secmem\-warning \-\-no\-permission\-warning\*(C'\fR. .SH "USER MODE" .IX Header "USER MODE" \&\f(CW\*(C`tlmgr\*(C'\fR provides a restricted way, called ``user mode'', to manage arbitrary texmf trees in the same way as the main installation. For example, this allows people without write permissions on the installation location to update/install packages into a tree of their own. .PP \&\f(CW\*(C`tlmgr\*(C'\fR is switched into user mode with the command line option \&\f(CW\*(C`\-\-usermode\*(C'\fR. It does not switch automatically, nor is there any configuration file setting for it. Thus, this option has to be explicitly given every time user mode is to be activated. .PP This mode of \f(CW\*(C`tlmgr\*(C'\fR works on a user tree, by default the value of the \&\f(CW\*(C`TEXMFHOME\*(C'\fR variable. This can be overridden with the command line option \f(CW\*(C`\-\-usertree\*(C'\fR. In the following when we speak of the user tree we mean either \f(CW\*(C`TEXMFHOME\*(C'\fR or the one given on the command line. .PP Not all actions are allowed in user mode; \f(CW\*(C`tlmgr\*(C'\fR will warn you and not carry out any problematic actions. Currently not supported (and probably will never be) is the \f(CW\*(C`platform\*(C'\fR action. The \f(CW\*(C`gui\*(C'\fR action is currently not supported, but may be in a future release. .PP Some \f(CW\*(C`tlmgr\*(C'\fR actions don't need any write permissions and thus work the same in user mode and normal mode.

This creates \fIusertree\fR\f(CW\*(C`/web2c\*(C'\fR and \&\fIusertree\fR\f(CW\*(C`/tlpkg/tlpobj\*(C'\fR, and a minimal \&\fIusertree\fR\f(CW\*(C`/tlpkg/texlive.tlpdb\*(C'\fR. At that point, you can tell \&\f(CW\*(C`tlmgr\*(C'\fR to do the (supported) actions by adding the \f(CW\*(C`\-\-usermode\*(C'\fR command line option. .PP In user mode the file \fIusertree\fR\f(CW\*(C`/tlpkg/texlive.tlpdb\*(C'\fR contains only the packages that have been installed into the user tree using \f(CW\*(C`tlmgr\*(C'\fR, plus additional options from the ``virtual'' package \&\f(CW\*(C`00texlive.installation\*(C'\fR (similar to the main installation's \&\f(CW\*(C`texlive.tlpdb\*(C'\fR). .PP All actions on packages in user mode can only be carried out on packages that are known as \f(CW\*(C`relocatable\*(C'\fR.

For example, in normal mode \f(CW\*(C`tlmgr install collection\-context\*(C'\fR would install \f(CW\*(C`collection\-basic\*(C'\fR and other collections, while in user mode, \fIonly\fR the packages mentioned in \&\f(CW\*(C`collection\-context\*(C'\fR are installed. .PP If a package shipping map files is installed in user mode, a backup of the user's \f(CW\*(C`updmap.cfg\*(C'\fR in \f(CW\*(C`USERTREE/web2c/\*(C'\fR is made, and then this file regenerated from the list of installed packages. .SS "User mode backup, restore, remove, update" .IX Subsection "User mode backup, restore, remove, update" In user mode, these actions check that all packages to be acted on are installed in the user tree before proceeding; otherwise, they behave just as in normal mode. .SS "User mode generate, option, paper" .IX Subsection "User mode generate, option, paper" In user mode, these actions operate only on the user tree's configuration files and/or \f(CW\*(C`texlive.tlpdb\*(C'\fR. creates configuration files in user tree .SH "MULTIPLE REPOSITORIES" .IX Header "MULTIPLE REPOSITORIES" The main TeX Live repository contains a vast array of packages. Nevertheless, additional local repositories can be useful to provide locally-installed resources, such as proprietary fonts and house styles. Also, alternative package repositories distribute packages that cannot or should not be included in TeX Live, for whatever reason. .PP The simplest and most reliable method is to temporarily set the installation source to any repository (with the \f(CW\*(C`\-repository\*(C'\fR or \&\f(CW\*(C`option repository\*(C'\fR command line options), and perform your operations. .PP When you are using multiple repositories over a sustained length of time, however, explicitly switching between them becomes inconvenient.

The rest of this section explains further. .PP When using multiple repositories, one of them has to be set as the main repository, which distributes most of the installed packages. When you switch from a single repository installation to a multiple repository installation, the previous sole repository will be set as the main repository. .PP By default, even if multiple repositories are configured, packages are \&\fIstill\fR \fIonly\fR installed from the main repository.

If a repository is loaded, those that are available but not installed are also listed. .PP Double clicking on a package line pops up an informational window with further details: the long description, included files, etc. .PP Each line of the package list consists of the following items: .IP "a checkbox" 4 .IX Item "a checkbox" Used to select particular packages; some of the action buttons (see below) work only on the selected packages. .IP "package name" 4 .IX Item "package name" The name (identifier) of the package as given in the database. .IP "local revision (and version)" 4 .IX Item "local revision (and version)" If the package is installed the TeX Live revision number for the installed package will be shown. If there is a catalogue version given in the database for this package, it will be shown in parentheses. However, the catalogue version, unlike the \s-1TL\s0 revision, is not guaranteed to reflect what is actually installed. .IP "remote revision (and version)" 4 .IX Item "remote revision (and version)" If a repository has been loaded the revision of the package in the repository (if present) is shown. As with the local column, if a catalogue version is provided it will be displayed. And also as with the local column, the catalogue version may be stale. .IP "short description" 4 .IX Item "short description" The short description of the package. .PP \fIMain display action buttons\fR .IX Subsection "Main display action buttons" .PP Below the list of packages are several buttons: .IP "Update all installed" 4 .IX Item "Update all installed" This calls \f(CW\*(C`tlmgr update \-\-all\*(C'\fR, i.e., tries to update all available packages. Below this button is a toggle to allow reinstallation of previously removed packages as part of this action. .Sp The other four buttons only work on the selected packages, i.e., those where the checkbox at the beginning of the package line is ticked. .IP "Update" 4 .IX Item "Update" Update only the selected packages. .IP "Install" 4 .IX Item "Install" Install the selected packages; acts like \f(CW\*(C`tlmgr install\*(C'\fR, i.e., also installs dependencies. Thus, installing a collection installs all its constituent packages. .IP "Remove" 4 .IX Item "Remove" Removes the selected packages; acts like \f(CW\*(C`tlmgr remove\*(C'\fR, i.e., it will also remove dependencies of collections (but not dependencies of normal packages). .IP "Backup" 4 .IX Item "Backup" Makes a backup of the selected packages; acts like \f(CW\*(C`tlmgr backup\*(C'\fR. This action needs the option \f(CW\*(C`backupdir\*(C'\fR set (see \f(CW\*(C`Options \-\*(C'\fR General>). .SS "Menu bar" .IX Subsection "Menu bar" The following entries can be found in the menu bar: .ie n .IP """tlmgr"" menu" 4 .el .IP "\f(CWtlmgr\fR menu" 4 .IX Item "tlmgr menu" The items here load various repositories: the default as specified in the TeX Live database, the default network repository, the repository specified on the command line (if any), and an arbitrarily manually-entered one. Also has the so-necessary \f(CW\*(C`quit\*(C'\fR operation. .ie n .IP """Options menu""" 4 .el .IP "\f(CWOptions menu\fR" 4 .IX Item "Options menu" Provides access to several groups of options: \f(CW\*(C`Paper\*(C'\fR (configuration of default paper sizes), \f(CW\*(C`Platforms\*(C'\fR (only on Unix, configuration of the supported/installed platforms), \f(CW\*(C`GUI Language\*(C'\fR (select language used in the \s-1GUI\s0 interface), and \f(CW\*(C`General\*(C'\fR (everything else). .Sp Several toggles are also here. The first is \f(CW\*(C`Expert options\*(C'\fR, which is set by default. If you turn this off, the next time you start the \s-1GUI\s0 a simplified screen will be shown that display only the most important functionality. This setting is saved in the configuration file of \&\f(CW\*(C`tlmgr\*(C'\fR; see \*(L"\s-1CONFIGURATION FILE FOR TLMGR\*(R"\s0 for details. .Sp The other toggles are all off by default: for debugging output, to disable the automatic installation of new packages, and to disable the automatic removal of packages deleted from the server. Playing with the choices of what is or isn't installed may lead to an inconsistent TeX Live installation; e.g., when a package is renamed. .ie n .IP """Actions menu""" 4 .el .IP "\f(CWActions menu\fR" 4 .IX Item "Actions menu" Provides access to several actions: update the filename database (aka \&\f(CW\*(C`ls\-R\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`mktexlsr\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`texhash\*(C'\fR), rebuild all formats (\f(CW\*(C`fmtutil\-sys \&\-\-all\*(C'\fR), update the font map database (\f(CW\*(C`updmap\-sys\*(C'\fR), restore from a backup of a package, and use of symbolic links in system directories (not on Windows). .Sp The final action is to remove the entire TeX Live installation (also not on Windows). .ie n .IP """Help menu""" 4 .el .IP "\f(CWHelp menu\fR" 4 .IX Item "Help menu" Provides access to the TeX Live manual (also on the web at ) and the usual ``About'' box. .SS "\s-1GUI\s0 options" .IX Subsection "GUI options" Some generic Perl/Tk options can be specified with \f(CW\*(C`tlmgr gui\*(C'\fR to control the display: .ie n .IP """\-background"" \fIcolor\fR" 4 .el .IP "\f(CW\-background\fR \fIcolor\fR" 4 .IX Item "-background color" Set background color. .ie n .IP """\-font """" \fIfontname\fR \fIfontsize\fR """"""" 4 .el .IP "\f(CW\-font ``\fR \fIfontname\fR \fIfontsize\fR \f(CW''\fR" 4 .IX Item "-font "" fontname fontsize """ Set font, e.g., \f(CW\*(C`tlmgr gui \-font "helvetica 18"\*(C'\fR.

The \fIsize\fR field is the number of bytes to be downloaded, i.e., the size of the compressed tar file for a network installation, not the unpacked size. The runtime and esttot fields are only present for updated and auto-install packages, and contain the currently passed time since start of installation/updates and the estimated total time. .PP Line endings may be either \s-1LF\s0 or \s-1CRLF\s0 depending on the current platform. .ie n .IP """location\-url"" \fIlocation\fR" 4 .el .IP "\f(CWlocation\-url\fR \fIlocation\fR" 4 .IX Item "location-url location" The \fIlocation\fR may be a url (including \f(CW\*(C`file:///foo/bar/...\*(C'\fR), or a directory name (\f(CW\*(C`/foo/bar\*(C'\fR).
