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 a 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.

To remake tlcritical from scratch:
 cd /home/ftp/texlive
 rm -rf tlcritical
 mkdir tlcritical
 tl-update-tlcritical --recreate
 

Coordinate schedule with:
 engine people, LaTeX people, GUST font people
 general lists

Really test during pretest:
  .fmt's sharable across endian-different platforms (including luatex).
  interactive mf '\drawdot (50,50); showit;'

When finalizing sources:
  version numbers and years and copyright years in:
  top level version.ac
  dvips:    configure.ac NEWS dvips.c dvips.h afm2tfm.c dvips.texi
  kpathsea: configure.ac NEWS kpsewhich.c kpathsea.texi
  web2c:    NEWS lib/printversion.c web2c.texi
  ptexenc:  configure.ac
  texmf.cnf (both Build and Master), texmfcnf.lua (Master)
  install-tl, tlmgr.pl (copyright only)

Final release:
  fix release-texlive.txt, .mkisofsrc.
  in Master: update texinfos, man pages+pdfs.
  update web pages, including arch list and doc translation list in doc.html.
  also including portable-anchor.html this year.
  after: copy bugs.html to historic/YYYY-1/bugs.html, rm tugstyle.css
  peb + laurens: no commits



When updating the release version (for testing, in advance of the actual
release), 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:

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

hx=/home/ftp/historic/systems/texlive
prev=2010
this=2011
mkdir $hx/$this

cd /home/ftp/texlive/Images
cp README.html $hx/$prev/
mv *.iso* $hx/$prev/
mv test/*.iso* .
mv test/texlive*.tar.xz* $hx/$this/  # tar version only from historic
update README and test/README
rm texlivetest.iso

cd /home/ftp/texlive/tlnet
mkdir $hx/$prev/tlnet
cd /home/ftp/texlive/tlnet
cp README $hx/$prev/tlnet/
mv [a-z]* $hx/$prev/tlnet/
mv ../tlpretest/[a-z]* .
mv mactex*   # deal with mactex below
update README and ../tlpretest/README

cd /home/httpd/html/texlive
mkdir $hx/$prev/web
cp *.html !$


- tug.org stuff:
do full install to default location.
rm /usr/local/texlive-rel; ln -s texlive/$this /usr/local/texlive-rel
create source/ subdir, cp texlive-*-source.tar.xz and w32tex-src.tar.xz
change /etc/fstab, mount /home/ftp/texlive/Contents/live.
update ~www/texlive web pages (search for $prev):
  acquire* - general
  bugs.html - general
  doc.html - platform list
  quickinstall.html - paths
  w32client.html - new .zip needed
update historic/systems with final proTeXt and MacTeX, when ready.
update TUG member area with CTAN snapshot, when ready.
update TUG home page.

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

- make tag + branch:
svn copy -r 23181 -m'texlive-2011.0 tag based on r23181' svn://tug.org/texlive/trunk svn://tug.org/texlive/tags/texlive-2011.0
svn copy -r 23181 -m'branch2011 branch based on r23181' svn://tug.org/texlive/trunk svn://tug.org/texlive/branches/branch2011

  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.

probably wait for net_frozen=false for a couple days



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.
