$Id$ Public domain. See http://tug.org/texlive/pkgupdate.html (and scripts) for information on the CTAN-to-TL update process. To add a new platform: - check that the config.guess output maps to our architecture name in the `platform' routine in TeXLive/TLUtils.pm. - add the abbreviation to the full-name mapping in `platform_desc'. - create directory in Master/bin and add at least one file. - add xz, xzdec, maybe wget binaries in Master/tlpkg/installer. - update .tlpsrc files if necessary. - regenerate tlpdb. To remove a platform: - remove directory in Master/bin. - remove xz, xzdec, maybe wget binaries in Master/tlpkg/installer. - remove any special cases in Master/tlpkg/tlpsrc. - rebuild. To remake tlcritical from scratch: cd /home/ftp/texlive rm -rf tlcritical mkdir tlcritical tl-update-tlcritical --recreate Coordinate schedule with: engine people, LaTeX people, GUST font people general lists To stop updating of certain packages before the general freeze: tlpkg/dev/tlnet-disabled-packages.txt Really test during pretest (really!): .fmt's sharable across endian-different platforms (including luatex). interactive mf '\drawdot (50,50); showit;' When finalizing sources: version numbers and years and copyright years in: top level version.ac dvips: configure.ac NEWS dvips.c dvips.h afm2tfm.c dvips.texi kpathsea: version.ac NEWS kpsewhich.c kpathsea.texi web2c: NEWS doc/web2c.texi ptexenc: version.ac texmf.cnf (both Build and Master), texmfcnf.lua (Master) install-tl, tlmgr.pl (copyright only) Final release: fix release-texlive.txt, .mkisofsrc. in Master: update texinfos, man pages+pdfs. update web pages, including arch list and doc translation list in doc.html. also including portable-anchor.html this year. after: copy bugs.html to historic/YYYY-1/bugs.html, rm tugstyle.css peb + laurens: no commits When updating the release version (for testing, in advance of the actual release), the default network directory specified in tl-update-tlnet, TLConfig.pm, and release-texlive-txt. Change those. Then make the new directory, copy in tlpkg/texlive.tlpdb but remove the 00texlive.installer stanza; tl-update-tlnet will make everything else. But consider mv-ing the old directory so as not to actually make new containers. Coordinate with CTAN. Making the big release: - Live unmount: umount /home/ftp/texlive/Contents/live hx=/home/ftp/historic/systems/texlive prev=2010 this=2011 mkdir $hx/$this cd /home/ftp/texlive/Images cp README.html $hx/$prev/ mv *.iso* $hx/$prev/ mv test/*.iso* . mv test/texlive*.tar.xz* $hx/$this/ # tar version only from historic update README and test/README rm texlivetest.iso cd /home/ftp/texlive/tlnet mkdir $hx/$prev/tlnet cd /home/ftp/texlive/tlnet cp README $hx/$prev/tlnet/ mv [a-z]* $hx/$prev/tlnet/ mv ../tlpretest/[a-z]* . mv mactex* # deal with mactex below update README and ../tlpretest/README cd /home/httpd/html/texlive mkdir $hx/$prev/web cp *.html !$ - tug.org stuff: do full install to default location. rm /usr/local/texlive-rel; ln -s texlive/$this /usr/local/texlive-rel create source/ subdir, cp texlive-*-source.tar.xz and w32tex-src.tar.xz change /etc/fstab, mount /home/ftp/texlive/Contents/live. update ~www/texlive web pages (search for $prev): acquire* - general bugs.html - general doc.html - platform list quickinstall.html - paths w32client.html - new .zip needed update historic/systems with final proTeXt and MacTeX, when ready. update TUG member area with CTAN snapshot, when ready. update TUG home page. - announcements: Dick Koch @ updating MacTeX. CTAN @ re-enabling tlnet mirroring. Manfred @ making TeX Collection DVD. Martin @ torrents. pretest mirror admins @ done till next year (~www/texlive/mirmon/tl*.txt). - make tag + branch: svn copy -r 23181 -m'texlive-2011.0 tag based on r23181' svn://tug.org/texlive/trunk svn://tug.org/texlive/tags/texlive-2011.0 svn copy -r 23181 -m'branch2011 branch based on r23181' svn://tug.org/texlive/trunk svn://tug.org/texlive/branches/branch2011 It's the same command, just different destinations. http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn-book.html#svn.branchmerge Do both a branch and a tag so that it's possible to easily compare the current state of the branch with its starting point (the tag). Then, to check out the branch, so critical source fixes can be applied for the distros: cd /home/texlive rm -rf branch # if starting a new year on tug mkdir branch; cd branch svn co file:///home/svn/texlive/branches/branch2011/Build/source . >&out - update ~karl/bin/cron.tl, and reenable when feel ready. critical= pretest= all_frozen=false probably wait for net_frozen=false for a couple days Different naming convention to branch before a release, for development work before we want to switch trunk over: svn copy -r 12205 -m'texlive-2009-dev tag based on r12205' svn://tug.org/texlive/trunk svn://tug.org/texlive/tags/texlive-2009-dev svn copy -r 12205 -m'branch2009-dev branch based on r12205' svn://tug.org/texlive/trunk svn://tug.org/texlive/branches/branch2009-dev Use -dev instead of .something because - will sort first, keeping the listings in a nice chronological order.
