Just rough notes on putting together the yearly release --karl.


/home/httpd/html/texlive/mirmon/tlpretest-mirrors.txt 

# on the day of the last tlnet update,
# set opt_frozen in 00texlive.installation.tlpsrc.
# freeze should happen the next day.


then, the next day, build tlpretest.

0. Reset opt_frozen to 0 in 00texlive.installation.tlpsrc.

1. Set up tlpretest:
cd /home/ftp/texlive/tlnet
tar cf - [a-u]* | (cd ../tlpretest && tar xf -)
# do not copy README.

2. Then make these changes in the cron script:
--- cron.tl	2011/05/25 22:49:19	1.171
+++ cron.tl	2011/05/25 22:50:03

3. The next nightly build will update tlpretest, or run
force_rebuild=true cron.tl


4. kpathsea/texmf.cnf & web2c/texmf.cnf,
   Master/release-texlive.txt,
   Master/tlpkg/TeXLive/TLConfig.pm - change $ReleaseYear.


tlcritical will remain getting updated daily, even though it doesn't
work with tlnet any more.  c'est la vie.
