Hello all,
Please, if you have moment to spare, have a good look at the TLContrib website and associated repository:
The system should now be ready for the initial kickoff (I hope).
Mojca, Hans and me have already tried and tested various things, but it is quite likely that there are still bugs. I decided to post to a small group of people before doing an announcement on tex-live@tug.org / c.t.t hoping that perhaps more people can have a look, and that the remaining bugs can then be fixed before 'normal' users start using the site.
Probably I am doing something stupid, but how do I use this repo to make a fresh installation of TL. I downloaded http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet/install-tl-unx.tar.gz and ran install-tl --repository http://tlcontrib.metatex.org/2010/ which gave Installing TeX Live 2010 from: http://tlcontrib.metatex.org/2010 Platform: i386-linux => 'Intel x86 with GNU/Linux' Distribution: net (downloading) Using URL: http://tlcontrib.metatex.org/2010 Directory for temporary files: /tmp Loading http://tlcontrib.metatex.org/2010/tlpkg/texlive.tlpdb Aborting, cannot find either scheme-full or scheme_minimal at install-tl line 1344. Or can this only be used to upgrade existing TL installation? Aditya
