Public domain.

See http://tug.org/texlive/pkgupdate.html (and scripts) for information
on the CTAN-to-TL update process.

To add a new platform:
- check that the config.guess output maps to our architecture name
  in the `platform' routine in TeXLive/TLUtils.pm.
- add the abbreviation to the full-name mapping in `platform_desc'.
- create directory in Master/bin and add at least one file.
- add xz, xzdec, maybe wget binaries in Master/tlpkg/installer.
- update .tlpsrc files if necessary.
- regenerate tlpdb.

To remove an platform:
- remove directory in Master/bin.
- remove xz, xzdec, maybe wget binaries in Master/tlpkg/installer.
- remove any special cases in Master/tlpkg/tlpsrc.
- rebuild.

When switching the release version, the default network directory
specified in tl-update-tlnet, TLConfig.pm, and release-texlive-txt.
Change those.  Then make the new directory, copy in tlpkg/texlive.tlpdb
but remove the 00texlive.installer stanza; tl-update-tlnet will make
everything else.  But consider mv-ing the old directory so as not to
actually make new containers.  Coordinate with CTAN.


Making the big release (2009):

- Live mount:
umount /home/ftp/texlive/Contents/live

hx=/home/ftp/historic/systems/texlive

- in /home/ftp/texlive/Images:
cp README.html $hx/2008/
mv *.iso.* $hx/2008/
mv test/*.iso test/*.iso.{md5,sha256} $hx/2009
mv test/*.iso.* .
mv test/texlive*.tar.xz* $hx/2009/
update README and test/README

- in /home/ftp/texlive/tlnet:   # will be different next year
mv 2008 $hx/2008/tlnet
mv mactex-2009-nov-7.mpkg.zip ~koch/public_html/

- in $hx/2009, make uncompressed iso readable to Manfred so he can download:
chown manfred *.iso
chmod 600 *.iso

- tug.org stuff:
change /etc/fstab & mount /home/ftp/texlive/Contents/live.
update ~www/texlive web pages.
do full install to default location.
rm /usr/local/texlive-rel; ln -s texlive/2009 /usr/local/texlive-rel

- announcements:
Dick Koch @ updating MacTeX.
CTAN @ re-enabling mirroring.
Manfred, Klaus @ making TeX Collection.
pretest mirror admins @ done till next year (~www/texlive/mirmon/tl*.txt).

- make tag + branch:
svn copy -r 15946 -m'texlive-2009.0 tag based on r15946' svn://tug.org/texlive/trunk svn://tug.org/texlive/tags/texlive-2009.0
svn copy -r 15946 -m'branch2009 branch based on r15946' svn://tug.org/texlive/trunk svn://tug.org/texlive/branches/branch2009

  It's the same command, just different destinations.
  http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn-book.html#svn.branchmerge

  Do both a branch and a tag so that it's possible to easily compare the
  current state of the branch with its starting point (the tag).

- update ~karl/bin/cron.tl, and reenable when feel ready.



Different naming convention to branch before a release, for development
work before we want to switch trunk over:
svn copy -r 12205 -m'texlive-2009-dev tag based on r12205' svn://tug.org/texlive/trunk svn://tug.org/texlive/tags/texlive-2009-dev
svn copy -r 12205 -m'branch2009-dev branch based on r12205' svn://tug.org/texlive/trunk svn://tug.org/texlive/branches/branch2009-dev

Use -dev instead of .something because - will sort first, keeping the
listings in a nice chronological order.
