Some comments on the new image Sebastian has uploaded to
http://iwww.tug.org/texlive/tlprod/Images/texlive-20020403.iso.bz2
It expands to an iso image of 647 Mb, fine!
1) The texmf.cnf file seems to have the same bug as last year's TL6b:
the array sizes for the latex format are bigger than those of
the huge latex format (one spurious '0' added).
The sizes for *all* formats should be checked by experts, I have
no idea of the correct values, but there seem to be inconsistencies,
also for instance in the tex/hugetex formats:
% default is a huge tex % redundant. all TeX is now huge
main_memory = 1500000 main_memory.hugetex = 1100000
param_size= 1500 param_size.hugetex = 1500
stack_size= 1500 stack_size.hugetex = 1500
hash_extra= 5000 hash_extra.hugetex = 15000
string_vacancies= 4500 string_vacancies.hugetex = 45000
pool_free= 4750 pool_free.hugetex = 47500
nest_size= 500 nest_size.hugetex = 500
save_size= 5000 save_size.hugetex = 5000
pool_size= 5000 pool_size.hugetex = 500000
max_strings= 65000 max_strings.hugetex = 55000

2) Dependencies in the RDF database
a) ConTeXt needs etex, the collection tex-etex (as well as tex-pdftex)
is required in texmf/tpm/collections/tex-context.tpm, but still,
if you select the context collection but not the etex collection,
you end up with no conTeXt format:
`pdfetex -ini -efmt=cont-en -progname=context *cont-en.ini' failed
The format is properly built if you select `context' AND `etex'.
b) Something just for tex-langfrench: the collection tex-langfrench
requires the package 'aeguill' (good), but aeguill builds its
default guillemets for French from Polish fonts, which are not
required by aeguill.tpm :-(
The exact stuff which should be required is
texmf/tex/latex/platex/ot4cmr.fd
texmf/fonts/tfm/public/pl
texmf/fonts/type1/public/pl
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
3) the directory 'man' is missing at the top level of the new
CD's image (it was there in the 20020401 image).
'man' is required by the tex-documentation collection.
Anyway, apart from these details, this new TeXLive runs fine
on my machine (as did the previous ones ;-), thanks for the great job!
