1. Package updates
==================
Please see http://www.tug.org/texlive/pkgupdate.html

1a. packages already in tpm-ctan-check
--------------------------------------

texmf-dist/tpm/active-conf.tpm
        the subdirs on CTAN 2006-version and example contain the same files!
        the check compares different files
        ctan2tds calls MAKEflatten which is bad

	I guess I didn't notice the files were the same.  Can you straighten out
	ctan2tds.pl so it does something reasonable?  I guess active-conf has to
	have its own routine :(.  Or ask the author to make the filenames
	unique.

texmf-dist/tpm/beebe.tpm
	MAKEbeebe needs work, this is true!

texmf-dist/tpm/hyperref.tpm
	hyperref-tds.zip seems to be out-of-date, after updating the
        check still spits out changed .html file

texmf-doc/tpm/lshort-turkish.tpm
	turkish is not defined in the @languages array in Tpm.pm, so files in
        the buildPatternsDocumentation (Tpm.pm) function, which checks
        for /doc/$language/.... and /source/$language/....


1b. How to add new packages to tpm-ctan-check?
----------------------------------------------

It's not even necessary to do that unless ctan2tds has to do something
special.  For many packages, the defaults work.

So what I do is nearly the same as updating:

0) check licensing, sources [doc especially], etc.

1) run ctan2tl.

2) inspect output of where the files ended up.

2a) if good, then good. Run with --place, add to tpm-ctan-check, and
    -- the only different thing -- add it to some collection-*.tpm.
    Commit.

2b) if bad, then bad.  Hack ctan2tds as necessary, maybe just
    MAKEflatten, maybe a one-off routine, whatever is needed.  Repeat.


Adaption for ctan2tds:

authorindex
	the perl file "authorindex" must be moved to source/latex/authorindex



1c. Hyphenation patterns
------------------------
There are hyphenation files to sort out if you care to work on that
  incredibly frustrating task.


2. sources updates
==================

There are some patches to apply to the sources.
There are the program sources to update in general (e.g., dvipng).


3. Infrastructure
=================
There is running tlrebuild -n and dealing with all the reports of files
  not in the tpm's, etc.  That's probably most in line with what you've
  been doing so far.

  	I (Norbert) am currently checking on this.
