shortdesc TeX Live configuration settings
longdesc This package serves on an installed system as configuration file.
longdesc We have to remember these settings for additional package
longdesc installation, removal, etc.
longdesc 
longdesc There are two types here:
longdesc 1) If the key starts with opt_ this is an option that can be
longdesc    set by the user either at installation time or via tlmgr later.
longdesc 2) If the key starts with setting_ this value cannot be changed
longdesc    by the user directly with tlmgr, but only by other actions.
longdesc    Currently there are only two settings supported, and the second
longdesc    is only used in unusual cases:
longdesc   2a) setting_available_architectures lists all available platforms
longdesc       and should be always present
longdesc   2b) setting_platform *overrides* the auto-detected platform.
longdesc       This value will only be present when you forced a specific 
longdesc       architecture with -force-arch to install-tl
longdesc
longdesc The value of __MASTER__ for the location field tells the
longdesc installer to use the present directory itself.  For example,
longdesc the DVD can be mounted anywhere and we want the installer to work.
longdesc
longdesc Concerning the 00* names:
longdesc All packages starting with 00texlive are ``virtual packages'',
longdesc in the sense that no containers are generated and these packages
longdesc are never split into .src and .doc sub-packages in the tlpdb.
