$Id$ Master/texmf-dist/scripts/texlive (This file is public domain.) This directory contains scripts for TeX Live. Unlike everything else under Master/texmf-dist/scripts, except scripts/texlive-extra, most of these scripts are actually maintained here, and not under Build. There are slave copies of these Master-maintained scripts in Build/source/texk/texlive/linked_scripts, just as for the multitude of scripts updated from CTAN. The man pages for the programs here, though, are still maintained in Build/, since that is almost 100% true in TL, and it seems better not to break that. Additional scripts maintained as part of TeX Live, but not important for infrastructure or installation, are in ../texlive-extra. One reason for doing this is so we can have $Id expansion, so svn:keywords is set for the scripts maintained here. When they were maintained in Build, the --version option and doc of the copies in bin/ svn->git mirror process does not preserve $Id strings. (Note from Karl: Although many people and processes hate keyword expansion, I'm afraid that I find it quite useful, so I don't want to give it up as long as I am working here. Feel free to change it after I'm gone. :) Another reason is that almost all scripts in the bin/*/ directories are now symlinks into texmf-dist/scripts/, so it's nice for these to follow suit for consistency and clarity. Summary of packages maintained as part of TeX Live, and whether they are included in scheme-infraonly: ---------------------------------------------------- texlive.infra - infraonly, core (tlmgr and support), changes only pushed as a critical update. kpathsea - infraonly, binaries (kpsewhich) and non-user-visible scripts, binaries only rebuilt for the annual release. texlive-scripts - infraonly, important scripts (fmtutil, updmap, mktexlsr, ...), changes pushed normally. texlive-scripts-extra - not infraonly, little-used scripts (allcm, allec, texconfig, ...), changes pushed normally. The principal mailing list is http://lists.tug.org/tex-live. All of these scripts are free software, mostly public domain.
