How to set up your own TeX Live Packages repository
===================================================

$Id$

TeX Live 2008 contains the TeX Live Manager, which allows updates over
the network. By specifying different installation sources the user can
in theory install packages using tlmgr from a different source as the
default TeX Live repository.

This document describes how to set up a repository in a way that tlmgr
can use it. Possible applications are distribution of company-internal
packages or non-free stuff not included in TeX Live.

Note that this document is very much work in progress, as is most of the
TeX Live infrastructure. If you have any questions please contact us
at tex-live@tug.org.
