(Originally written in 2006 by Karl Berry.)

This Build directory contains sources and tools which are used in
building TeX Live, but are not part of the live hierarchy.  Each subdir
has another README with more details.

logs - complete logs of all commits to the TL source repositories.
source - the actual sources for all the executable programs.
tools - scripts related to most everything else.

Directories named tmp.raw and tmp.cooked are also created/used/removed
here by ctan2tl, ctan2tds, and place.

If you know enough about TeX to be reading this, then you (or your
institution) should consider joining a TeX user group (there's a list at
http://tug.org/usergroups.html) -- if you're already a member, thanks
for your support!  The TeX Users Group, the oldest such group, produces
the periodicals TUGboat (http://tug.org/TUGboat), The PracTeX Journal
(http://tug.org/pracjourn), sponsors an annual meeting and publishes the
proceedings ... and hosts TeX Live development and distribution.
