category TLCore shortdesc TeX Live configuration settings longdesc This package serves on an installed system as configuration file. longdesc We have to remember these settings for additional package longdesc installation, removal, etc. longdesc longdesc There are two types here: longdesc 1) If the key starts with opt_ this is an option that can be longdesc set by the user either at installation time or via tlmgr later. longdesc 2) If the key starts with setting_ this value cannot be changed longdesc by the user directly with tlmgr, but only by other actions. longdesc Currently there are only two settings supported, and the second longdesc is only used in unusual cases: longdesc 2a) setting_available_architectures lists all available platforms longdesc and should be always present longdesc 2b) setting_platform *overrides* the auto-detected platform. longdesc This value will only be present when you forced a specific longdesc architecture with -force-arch to install-tl longdesc longdesc The value of __MASTER__ for the location field tells the longdesc installer to use the present directory itself. For example, longdesc the DVD can be mounted anywhere and we want the installer to work. longdesc longdesc Concerning the 00* names: longdesc All packages starting with 00texlive are ``virtual packages'', longdesc in the sense that no containers are generated and these packages longdesc are never split into .src and .doc sub-packages in the tlpdb.
