<h4 class="subsectionHead"><span class="titlemark">1.1 </span> <a
id="x1-40001.1"></a>Basic usage of <span class="TEX">T<span
class="E">E</span>X</span> Live</h4>
<!--l. 56--><p class="noindent" >You can use <span class="TEX">T<span
class="E">E</span>X</span> Live in three principal ways:
<!--l. 58--><p class="indent" >
<ol class="enumerate1" >
<li
class="enumerate" id="x1-4002x1">You can run <span class="TEX">T<span
class="E">E</span>X</span> Live directly from the <span
class="ec-lmss-10">live </span>DVD (see section <a
href="#x1-70002.1">2.1<!--tex4ht:ref: sec:multiple-dist --></a>, p. <a
href="#x1-70002.1">6<!--tex4ht:ref: sec:multiple-dist --></a>). This takes almost no
disk space, and gives you immediate access to everything in <span class="TEX">T<span
class="E">E</span>X</span> Live. Of course performance
will be worse than running on local disk, but you may well find it useful.
</li>
<li
class="enumerate" id="x1-4004x2">You can install all or part of <span class="TEX">T<span
class="E">E</span>X</span> Live to a local disk, from either the DVD or the <span
class="ec-lmss-10">inst </span>CD.
This is the most common use of <span class="TEX">T<span
class="E">E</span>X</span> Live. You will need (approximately) 100 megabytes
for the most minimal system, and upwards of 1.3 gigabytes for a full system.
</li>
<li
class="enumerate" id="x1-4006x3">You can integrate a particular package or collection into your existing <span class="TEX">T<span
class="E">E</span>X</span> system, either
a <span class="TEX">T<span
class="E">E</span>X</span> Live system you installed earlier, or a different system.
</li></ol>
<!--l. 77--><p class="noindent" >All of these are described in detail in the OS-specific installation sections following, but here is a quick
start:
<ul class="itemize1">
<li class="itemize">The main installation script for Unix and Mac OS X is <span
class="ec-lmtt-10">install-tl.sh</span>. GNU/Linux users
can also try a new GUI installation program: run <span
class="ec-lmtt-10">setuptl/tlpmgui</span>. More information can
be found in section <a
href="#x1-210006">6<!--tex4ht:ref: sec:win-install --></a> on p. <a
href="#x1-210006">31<!--tex4ht:ref: sec:win-install --></a>.
</li>
<li class="itemize">The single package installation script is <span
class="ec-lmtt-10">install-pkg.sh</span>. (After installation on Linux with
<span
class="ec-lmtt-10">tlpmgui</span>, you can also try running <span
class="ec-lmtt-10">tlpmgui </span>again to add or remove individual packages or
collections.)
</li>
<li class="itemize">The installation program for Windows is <span
class="ec-lmtt-10">tlpmgui.exe</span>. It can be used also for adding or
removing the packages. See section <a
href="#x1-210006">6<!--tex4ht:ref: sec:win-install --></a> below for more information.

<!--l. 1137--><p class="noindent" >The recommended way to install <span class="TEX">T<span
class="E">E</span>X</span> on Mac OS X is from the Mac<span class="TEX">T<span
class="E">E</span>X</span> distribution, new in
2005. This is provided on the <span
class="ec-lmss-10">live </span>DVD in the top-level <span
class="ec-lmtt-10">mactex/ </span>directory. It contains its own
(native) installer for a full <span class="TEX">T<span
class="E">E</span>X</span> distribution, based on a combination of te<span class="TEX">T<span
class="E">E</span>X</span> and <span class="TEX">T<span

Live, along with many additional applications and documentation. The project web page is <span class="obeylines-h"><a
href="http://tug.org/mactex" class="url" ><span
class="ec-lmtt-10">http://tug.org/mactex</span></a></span>.
<!--l. 1144--><p class="indent" > If you prefer, installation of <span class="TEX">T<span
class="E">E</span>X</span> under Mac OS X can also be done directly from <span class="TEX">T<span
class="E">E</span>X</span> Live, using the
<span
class="ec-lmtt-10">install* </span>scripts, as follows.
<!--l. 1147--><p class="indent" > In order to run the installation scripts under Mac OS X, you need to have the <span
class="ec-lmss-10">bash </span>shell installed. If
you are running Mac OS X 10.2 or later, you have <span
class="ec-lmss-10">bash</span>, and can proceed. If you’re running an earlier
Mac OS X version, however, the default shell is <span
class="ec-lmss-10">zsh</span>, which won’t work; you’ll need to get <span
class="ec-lmss-10">bash </span>from the
Internet, or more likely upgrade your system.
<!--l. 1154--><p class="indent" > Once you have <span

<!--l. 1167--><p class="indent" > <span

Next configure your main variables. You can use UNC names to point to the right directories
under Win32.
</li>
<li class="itemize">Install a local copy for the binaries and format files. In this case, assign <span class="path"><span
class="ec-lmtt-10">$TEXMFMAIN</span></span> to the
main <span class="path"><span
class="ec-lmtt-10">texmf</span></span> tree that will be accessed remotely. Set <span class="path"><span

<span

class="description">This command provides some options that did not fit well into <span

you to list all the files that occur multiple times across your texmf trees. This could be
handy, but most of the time you will also get unwanted output (like dozens of <span class="path"><span
class="ec-lmtt-10">README</span></span> files).
It is noticeable that all these files result in clashes inside the Kpathsea-hashing mechanism;
fortunately, Kpathsea never looks for these files. For this reason, you can combine the <span class="path"><span
class="ec-lmtt-10">-multiple-occurrences</span></span> with 2 other options for including or excluding any filename that
match some pattern (you can request for several patterns).
<!--l. 1484--><p class="noindent" >The <span
class="ec-lmss-10">kpsecheck </span>command will also report the status of shared memory: in use or not used.
That might be useful to know because if the status reported is ‘<span
class="ec-lmtt-10">in use</span>’, that means one or
several processes are working, and the effect of any <span
class="ec-lmss-10">mktexlsr </span>command will be delayed until
the next time where no Kpathsea linked process will be running.
<!--l. 1491--><p class="noindent" >Last, this same command will report about the location it thinks Ghostscript can be found.
Under Win32, for many programs, it is easier to use the Ghostscript dll, and find it by using
the Ghostscript registry key than to change the <span class="path"><span

<!--l. 1644--><p class="noindent" >What we call Win32 is not an operating system by itself. It is a large set of functions (around 12,000 in
the header files of the Microsoft SDK) that you can use to write programs for different operating systems
of the Windows family.
<!--l. 1649--><p class="indent" > Windows comes in different flavors:
<ul class="itemize1">
<li class="itemize">Win95, Win98 and WinME, which <span
class="ec-lmri-10">are not true multitasking, multithreading </span>environments,
but rather updated incarnations of DOS. This can be more or less proven by the fact that
when booting, the PC will load the <span class="path"><span
class="ec-lmtt-10">command.com</span></span> interpreter, and if you stop the boot
process at this point, you can ask for the current (DOS) version and it will answer something
like ‘<span
class="ec-lmtt-10">MS-DOS 7.0</span>’ (at least for the old versions of Win9x).
</li>
<li class="itemize">Windows NT, which is a new operating system written from scratch, capable of true
multitasking behavior, and including many high level features.
</li>
<li class="itemize">Windows 2000, based on NT, with all the bells and whistles of Win98.
</li>
<li class="itemize">Windows XP, which comes with Personal and Pro flavors. This is the last step in merging
both lines of products (Win9x based and NT based). XP is based on NT.</li></ul>
<!--l. 1668--><p class="indent" > Win9x are able to run 32 bits programs and 16 bits programs concurrently. But the operating
system by itself is not entirely written in 32 bits mode, and does not support memory protection: 16bits
applications can overwrite parts of the operating system memory! Some parts of the system like the GDI
(Graphical Device Interface) manage limited resources like bitmaps, fonts, pens and so on for the
set of all programs that run concurrently. All the bitmaps headers available at the same
time can’t amount for more than 64kB. This explains the performance tool and the fact
that you can put your system on his knees by making intensive use of graphic objects for
example.
<!--l. 1679--><p class="indent" > NT, 2K and XP do not suffer from these limitations, and neither from other Win9x limitations. They
are true multitasking environments, with protected memory. They are much more responsive than Win9x
because of better memory management, better file system and so on.

<h5 class="subsubsectionHead"><span class="titlemark">7.11.2 </span> <a
id="x1-410007.11.2"></a>Command line prompt</h5>
<!--l. 1686--><p class="noindent" >You may wonder, “Why would I need to use a command line prompt when I have Windows?”
<!--l. 1689--><p class="indent" > Good question! The problem is of very general nature. Not all operations can be done easily using
only a GUI. Command line gives you programming power — assuming a clever command
interpreter.
<!--l. 1693--><p class="indent" > But the problem here is more fundamental: <span class="TEX">T<span
class="E">E</span>X</span> is <span
class="ec-lmri-10">a batch </span>tool. Not an interactive one. <span class="TEX">T<span
class="E">E</span>X</span> needs
to compute the best layout for each page, resolve cross-references and so on. This can be
done only by a global processing of the document. It is not (yet) a task that can be done
interactively.
<!--l. 1699--><p class="indent" > This means that you should use <span class="TEX">T<span
class="E">E</span>X</span> from a command line. In fact the situation is not so bad. There
is an advantage to write command line tools for complex processing: they are better debugged, because
they are independent of any GUI problems, and GUI tools can be designed to interface to the command
line tools. This is the case for <span class="TEX">T<span
class="E">E</span>X</span>, where you will mostly interact with it through a GUI text
editor.

and even mix them up in the same path name. But on the command line, you must type <span class="path"><span
class="ec-lmtt-10">\</span></span> as path
separator. The reason is compatibility: the command processor used ‘<span

commands.

<!--l. 1743--><p class="noindent" >The worst feature of Win9x with regard to <span class="TEX">T<span
class="E">E</span>X</span> is probably the so-called FAT file system. <span class="TEX">T<span
class="E">E</span>X</span> uses
very many small files, with size around 1–3kB. The FAT file system is old, and predates by decades the
multi-gigabytes hard disks we have today. As a result, it cannot manage efficiently the tens of thousands
of <span class="TEX">T<span
class="E">E</span>X</span> files found in <span class="TEX">T<span
class="E">E</span>X</span> Live. The FAT file system allocates a minimum of 32kB for <span

needs.
<!--l. 1752--><p class="indent" > The other, more modern, file systems available, FAT32 and NTFS, do not have this drawback. They

<h4 class="subsectionHead"><span class="titlemark">8.1 </span> <a
id="x1-500008.1"></a>Kpathsea path searching</h4>
<!--l. 1999--><p class="noindent" >Let us first describe the generic path searching mechanism of the Kpathsea library.
<!--l. 2002--><p class="indent" > We call a <span
class="ec-lmri-10">search path </span>a colon- or semicolon-separated list of <span
class="ec-lmri-10">path elements</span>, which are basically
directory names. A search path can come from (a combination of) many sources. To look up a file
‘<span
class="ec-lmtt-10">my-file</span>’ along a path ‘<span
class="ec-lmtt-10">.:/dir</span>’, Kpathsea checks each element of the path in turn: first <span
class="ec-lmtt-10">./my-file</span>,
then <span
class="ec-lmtt-10">/dir/my-file</span>, returning the first match (or possibly all matches).
<!--l. 2010--><p class="indent" > In order to adapt optimally to all operating systems’ conventions, on non-Unix systems Kpathsea can
use filename separators different from colon (‘<span
class="ec-lmtt-10">:</span>’) and slash (‘<span
class="ec-lmtt-10">/</span>’).
<!--l. 2014--><p class="indent" > To check a particular path element <span
class="ec-lmro-10">p</span>, Kpathsea first checks if a prebuilt database (see “Filename
database” on page <a
href="#x1-580008.2">56<!--tex4ht:ref: Filename-database --></a>) applies to <span
class="ec-lmro-10">p</span>, i.e., if the database is in a directory that is a prefix of <span
class="ec-lmro-10">p</span>. If so, the
path specification is matched against the contents of the database.
<!--l. 2020--><p class="indent" > If the database does not exist, or does not apply to this path element, or contains no matches, the
filesystem is searched (if this was not forbidden by a specification starting with ‘<span
class="ec-lmtt-10">!!</span>’ and if the file being
searched for must exist). Kpathsea constructs the list of directories that correspond to this path element,
and then checks in each for the file being sought.
<!--l. 2027--><p class="indent" > The “file must exist” condition comes into play with ‘<span
class="ec-lmtt-10">.vf</span>’ files and input files read by <span class="TEX">T<span
class="E">E</span>X</span>’s <span
class="ec-lmtt-10">\openin</span>
command. Such files may not exist (e.g., <span
class="ec-lmtt-10">cmr10.vf</span>), and so it would be wrong to search the disk for
them. Therefore, if you fail to update <span
class="ec-lmtt-10">ls-R </span>when you install a new ‘<span
class="ec-lmtt-10">.vf</span>’ file, it will never be found. Each
path element is checked in turn: first the database, then the disk. If a match is found, the search stops
and the result is returned.
<!--l. 2036--><p class="indent" > Although the simplest and most common path element is a directory name, Kpathsea supports
additional features in search paths: layered default values, environment variable names, config
file values, users’ home directories, and recursive subdirectory searching. Thus, we say that
Kpathsea <span
class="ec-lmri-10">expands </span>a path element, meaning it transforms all the specifications into basic
directory name or names. This is described in the following sections in the same order as it takes
place.
<!--l. 2045--><p class="indent" > Note that if the filename being searched for is absolute or explicitly relative, i.e., starts with ‘<span
class="ec-lmtt-10">/</span>’ or
‘<span
class="ec-lmtt-10">./</span>’ or ‘<span
class="ec-lmtt-10">../</span>’, Kpathsea simply checks if that file exists.

search paths for the other files, then the file database <span
class="ec-lmtt-10">ls-R </span>(to optimize file searching) and the file
<span
class="ec-lmtt-10">aliases</span>, which makes it possible to declare several names (e.g., a short DOS-like 8.3 and a more natural
longer version) for the same file. Then <span
class="ec-lmss-10">dvips </span>goes on to find the generic configuration file <span
class="ec-lmtt-10">config.ps</span>
before looking for the customization file <span
class="ec-lmtt-10">.dvipsrc </span>(which, in this case is <span
class="ec-lmri-10">not found</span>). Finally, <span

the config file for the Computer Modern PostScript fonts <span

with the <span

<!--l. 2868--><p class="noindent" >Discussion began in late 1993 when the Dutch <span class="TEX">T<span
class="E">E</span>X</span> Users Group was starting work on its 4All<span class="TEX">T<span
class="E">E</span>X</span> CD
for MS-DOS users, and it was hoped at that time to issue a single, rational, CD for all systems. This was
too ambitious a target for the time, but it did spawn not only the very successful 4All<span class="TEX">T<span
class="E">E</span>X</span>
CD, but also the TUG Technical Council working group on a <span class="TEX"><span
class="ec-lmri-10">T</span><span
class="E"><span
class="ec-lmri-10">E</span></span><span
class="ec-lmri-10">X</span></span> <span
class="ec-lmri-10">Directory Structure </span>(<span class="obeylines-h"><a
href="http://tug.org/tds" class="url" ><span
class="ec-lmtt-10">http://tug.org/tds</span></a></span>), which specified how to create consistent and manageable collections of
<span class="TEX">T<span
class="E">E</span>X</span> support files. A complete draft of the TDS was published in the December 1995 issue
of <span
class="ec-lmro-10">TUGboat</span>, and it was clear from an early stage that one desirable product would be a
model structure on CD. The distribution you now have is a very direct result of the working
group’s deliberations. It was also clear that the success of the 4All<span class="TEX">T<span
class="E">E</span>X</span> CD showed that Unix
users would benefit from a similarly easy system, and this is the other main strand of <span class="TEX">T<span
class="E">E</span>X</span>
Live.
<!--l. 2884--><p class="indent" > We first undertook to make a new Unix-based TDS CD in the autumn of 1995, and quickly identified
Thomas Esser’s te<span class="TEX">T<span
class="E">E</span>X</span> as the ideal setup, as it already had multi-platform support and was built with
portability across file systems in mind. Thomas agreed to help, and work began seriously at the start of
1996. The first edition was released in May 1996. At the start of 1997, Karl Berry completed a major new
release of Web2c, which included nearly all the features which Thomas Esser had added in te<span class="TEX">T<span
class="E">E</span>X</span>, and
we decided to base the 2nd edition of the CD on the standard Web2C, with the addition of te<span class="TEX">T<span
class="E">E</span>X</span>’s
<span
class="ec-lmtt-10">texconfig </span>script. The 3rd edition of the CD was based on a major revision of Web2C, 7.2, by Olaf
Weber; at the same time, a new revision of te<span class="TEX">T<span
class="E">E</span>X</span> was being made, and <span class="TEX">T<span
class="E">E</span>X</span> Live included
almost all of its features. The 4th edition followed the same pattern, using a new version of
te<span class="TEX">T<span
class="E">E</span>X</span>, and a new release of Web2C (7.3). The system now included a complete Windows
setup.
<!--l. 2900--><p class="indent" > For the 5th edition (March 2000) many parts of the CD were revised and checked, updating hundreds
of packages. Package details were stored in XML files. But the major change for <span class="TEX">T<span
class="E">E</span>X</span> Live 5 was that all
non-free software was removed. Everything in <span class="TEX">T<span
class="E">E</span>X</span> Live is now intended to be compatible with the
Debian Free Software Guidelines (<span class="obeylines-h"><a
href="http://www.debian.org/intro/free" class="url" ><span
class="ec-lmtt-10">http://www.debian.org/intro/free</span></a></span>); we have done our best to
check the license conditions of all packages, but we would very much appreciate hearing of any
mistakes.
<!--l. 2909--><p class="indent" > The 6th edition (July 2001) had much more material updated. The major change was a new install
concept: the user could select a more exact set of needed collections. Language-related collections were
completely reorganized, so selecting any of them installs not only macros, fonts, etc., but also prepares an
appropriate <span
class="ec-lmtt-10">language.dat</span>.
<!--l. 2915--><p class="indent" > The 7th edition of 2002 had the notable addition of Mac OS X support, and the usual myriad of
updates to all sorts of packages and programs. An important goal was integration of the source back with
te<span class="TEX">T<span
class="E">E</span>X</span>, to correct the drift apart in versions 5 and 6.

<li class="itemize">Windows setup was substantially changed; for the first time an integrated environment based
on XEmacs was introduced.
</li>
<li class="itemize">Important supplementary programs for Windows (Perl, Ghostscript, ImageMagick, Ispell)

settings; now, locale settings do not influence the <span class="TEX">T<span

<li class="itemize">Within <span class="TEX">T<span

class="ec-lmtt-10">kpsewhich</span><span
class="ec-lmtt-10"> -format=texmfscripts</span></span></span>.
So if you have programs which call such scripts, they’ll need to be adjusted. See
<a
href="../../../../texmf-doc/doc/english/tds/tds.html#Scripts" ><span
class="ec-lmtt-10">texmf-doc/doc/english/tds/tds.html#Scripts</span></a>.
</li>
<li class="itemize">Almost all formats leave most characters printable as themselves via the “translation
file” <span
class="ec-lmtt-10">cp227.tcx</span>, instead of translating them with the <span class="obeylines-h"><span class="verb"><span
class="ec-lmtt-10">^^</span></span></span> notation. Specifically, characters
at positions 32–256, plus tab, vertical tab, and form feed are considered printable and
not translated. The exceptions are plain <span class="TEX">T<span
class="E">E</span>X</span> (only 32–126 printable), Con<span class="TEX">T<span
class="E">E</span>X</span>t (0–255
printable), and the Omega-related formats. This default behavior is almost the same as in
<span class="TEX">T<span
class="E">E</span>X</span> Live 2003, but it’s implemented more cleanly, with more possibilities for customization.
See <a
href="../../../../texmf/doc/web2c/web2c.html#TCX-files" ><span
class="ec-lmtt-10">texmf/doc/web2c/web2c.html#TCX-files</span></a>. (By the way, with Unicode input, <span class="TEX">T<span
class="E">E</span>X</span> may
output partial character sequences when showing error contexts, since it is byte-oriented.)
</li>
<li class="itemize"><span
class="ec-lmss-10">pdfetex </span>is now the default engine for all formats except (plain) <span
class="ec-lmss-10">tex </span>itself. (Of course
it generates DVI when run as <span
class="ec-lmss-10">latex</span>, etc.) This means, among other things, that the
microtypographic features of <span

<!--l. 3024--><p class="noindent" >It also means it’s <span

<!--l. 3111--><p class="noindent" >2005 saw the usual huge number of updates to packages and programs. The infrastructure stayed
relatively stable from 2004, but inevitably there were some changes there as well:
<ul class="itemize1">
<li class="itemize">New scripts <span
class="ec-lmss-10">texconfig-sys</span>, <span
class="ec-lmss-10">updmap-sys</span>, and <span
class="ec-lmss-10">fmtutil-sys </span>were introduced, which modify the
configuration in the system trees. The <span
class="ec-lmss-10">texconfig</span>, <span
class="ec-lmss-10">updmap</span>, and <span
class="ec-lmss-10">fmtutil </span>scripts now modify
user-specific files, under <span
class="ec-lmtt-10">$HOME/.texlive2005</span>. See section <a
href="#x1-180004.1">4.1<!--tex4ht:ref: sec:texconfig --></a>, p. <a
href="#x1-180004.1">27<!--tex4ht:ref: sec:texconfig --></a>.
</li>
<li class="itemize">Corresponding new variables <span
class="ec-lmtt-10">TEXMFCONFIG </span>and <span
class="ec-lmtt-10">TEXMFSYSCONFIG </span>to specify the trees where
configuration files (user or system, respectively) are found. Thus, you may need to move
personal versions of <span
class="ec-lmtt-10">fmtutil.cnf </span>and <span
class="ec-lmtt-10">updmap.cfg </span>to these places; another option is to
redefine <span
class="ec-lmtt-10">TEXMFCONFIG </span>or <span
class="ec-lmtt-10">TEXMFSYSCONFIG </span>in <span
class="ec-lmtt-10">texmf.cnf</span>. In any case the real location of
these files and the values of <span
class="ec-lmtt-10">TEXMFCONFIG </span>and <span
class="ec-lmtt-10">TEXMFSYSCONFIG </span>must agree. See section <a
href="#x1-90002.3">2.3<!--tex4ht:ref: sec:texmftrees --></a>,
p. <a
href="#x1-90002.3">8<!--tex4ht:ref: sec:texmftrees --></a>.
</li>
<li class="itemize">Last year, we kept <span class="obeylines-h"><span class="verb"><span
class="ec-lmtt-10">\pdfoutput</span></span></span> and other primitives undefined for DVI output, even though
the <span
class="ec-lmss-10">pdfetex </span>program was being used. This year, as promised, we undid that compatibility
measure. So if your document uses <span class="obeylines-h"><span class="verb"><span
class="ec-lmtt-10">\ifx\pdfoutput\undefined</span></span></span> to test if PDF is being
output, it will need to be changed. You can use the package <span
class="ec-lmss-10">ifpdf.sty </span>(which works under
both plain <span class="TEX">T<span
class="E">E</span>X</span> and <span class="LATEX">L<span class="A">A</span><span class="TEX">T<span
class="E">E</span>X</span></span>) to do this, or steal its logic.
</li>
<li class="itemize">Last year, we changed most formats to output (8-bit) characters as themselves (see previous
section). The new TCX file <span
class="ec-lmtt-10">empty.tcx </span>now provides an easier way to get the original <span class="obeylines-h"><span class="verb"><span
class="ec-lmtt-10">^^</span></span></span> notation if
you so desire, as in:
<table
class="verbatim"><tr class="verbatim"><td
class="verbatim"><div class="verbatim">

</div>
</div>
</td></tr></table>
<!--l. 3149--><p class="nopar" >
</li>
<li class="itemize">The new program <span
class="ec-lmss-10">dvipdfmx </span>is included for translation of DVI to PDF; this is an actively
maintained update of <span
class="ec-lmss-10">dvipdfm </span>(which is also still available for now, though no longer
recommended).
</li>
<li class="itemize">The new programs <span
class="ec-lmss-10">pdfopen </span>and <span
class="ec-lmss-10">pdfclose </span>are included to allow reloading of pdf files in the Adobe
Acrobat Reader without restarting the program. (Other pdf readers, notably <span
class="ec-lmss-10">xpdf</span>, <span
class="ec-lmss-10">gv</span>, and <span
class="ec-lmss-10">gsview</span>,
have never suffered from this problem.)
</li>
<li class="itemize">For consistency, the variables <span
class="ec-lmtt-10">HOMETEXMF </span>and <span
class="ec-lmtt-10">VARTEXMF </span>have been renamed to <span
class="ec-lmtt-10">TEXMFHOME </span>and
<span
class="ec-lmtt-10">TEXMFSYSVAR</span>, respectively. There is also <span
class="ec-lmtt-10">TEXMFVAR</span>, which is by default user-specific. See the first
point above.

<!--l. 3178--><p class="indent" > MetaPost also received a notable update, with more planned for the future (<span class="obeylines-h"><a

class="ec-lmtt-10">.fmt </span>(high-speed format) and the similar files for MetaPost and Metafont are
now stored in subdirectories of <span
class="ec-lmtt-10">texmf/web2c</span>, instead of in the directory itself (although the
directory is still searched, for the sake of existing <span
class="ec-lmtt-10">.fmt</span>’s). The subdirectories are named for the
‘engine’ in use, such as <span
class="ec-lmtt-10">tex </span>or <span
class="ec-lmtt-10">pdftex </span>or <span
class="ec-lmtt-10">xetex</span>. This change should be invisible in normal
use.
<!--l. 3190--><p class="indent" > The (plain) <span
class="ec-lmtt-10">tex </span>program no longer reads <span

<!--l. 3194--><p class="indent" > The installation scripts now accept various environment variables to allow for non-interactive
installation; see section <a
href="#x1-150003.2.1">3.2.1<!--tex4ht:ref: sec:noninteractive-install --></a>.
<!--l. 3198--><p class="indent" > Of course the year also saw (the usual) hundreds of other updates to packages and programs. As
usual, please check CTAN (<span class="obeylines-h"><a
href="http://www.ctan.org" class="url" ><span
class="ec-lmtt-10">http://www.ctan.org</span></a></span>) for updates.
<!--l. 3202--><p class="indent" > Internally, the source tree is now stored in Subversion, with a standard web interface for viewing the
tree, as linked from our home page. Although not visible in the final distribution, we expect this will
provide a stable development foundation for future years.
<!--l. 3207--><p class="indent" > Finally, in May 2006 Thomas Esser announced that he would no longer be updating te<span class="TEX">T<span
class="E">E</span>X</span> (<span class="obeylines-h"><a
href="http://tug.org/tetex" class="url" ><span
class="ec-lmtt-10">http://tug.org/tetex</span></a></span>). As a result, there was been a surge of interest in <span class="TEX">T<span
class="E">E</span>X</span> Live, especially among
GNU/Linux distributors. (There is a new <span
class="ec-lmtt-10">tetex </span>installation scheme in <span class="TEX">T<span
class="E">E</span>X</span> Live, which provides
an approximate equivalent.) We hope this will eventually translate to improvements in the
<span class="TEX">T<span
