$Id$ 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 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 (still pending for 2010): - Live unmount: umount /home/ftp/texlive/Contents/live hx=/home/ftp/historic/systems/texlive prev=2009 this=2010 - in /home/ftp/texlive/Images: cp README.html $hx/$prev/ mv *.iso* $hx/$prev/ mv test/*.iso* . mv test/texlive*.tar.xz* $hx/this/ update README and test/README - for 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.zip* ~koch/public_html/ # and write koch about time to release update README and ../tlpretest/README - tug.org stuff: change /etc/fstab, mount /home/ftp/texlive/Contents/live. do full install to default location. rm /usr/local/texlive-rel; ln -s texlive/$this /usr/local/texlive-rel update ~www/texlive web pages. acquire* - general bugs.html - general doc.html - platform list quickinstall.html - paths w32client.html - new .zip needed - announcements: Dick Koch @ updating MacTeX. CTAN @ re-enabling mirroring. Manfred, Klaus @ making TeX Collection. pretest mirror admins @ done till next year (~www/texlive/mirmon/tl*.txt). - make tag + branch: svn copy -r 19552 -m'texlive-2010.0 tag based on r19552' svn://tug.org/texlive/trunk svn://tug.org/texlive/tags/texlive-2010.0 svn copy -r 19552 -m'branch2010 branch based on r19552' svn://tug.org/texlive/trunk svn://tug.org/texlive/branches/branch2010 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). - update ~karl/bin/cron.tl, and reenable when feel ready. 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.
