See http://tug.org/texlive/pkgupdate.html for what information there is
on the CTAN-to-TL update process.

To add a new architecture:
- check that the config.guess output maps to our architecture name
  (the `platform' routine in TeXLive/TLUtils.pm)
- create directory in Master/bin and add at least one file
- add lzma and lzmadec binaries in Master/tlpkg/installer
- add description in Master/tlpkg/TeXLive/TLUtils.pm
- regenerate tlpdb.


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, and copy in
tlpkg/texlive.tlpdb; 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.
