EXPORTED VARIABLES

All of the following variables are pulled into the callers namespace, i.e., are declared with EXPORT (and EXPORT_OK).

@TeXLive::TLConfig::MetaCategories

The list of meta categories, i.e., those categories whose packages only depend on other packages, but don't ship any files. Currently Collection and <Scheme>.

@TeXLive::TLConfig::NormalCategories

The list of normal categories, i.e., those categories whose packages do ship files. Currently TLCore, Package, ConTeXt.

@TeXLive::TLConfig::Categories

The list of all categories, i.e., the union of the above.

A regexp matching any category.

$TeXLive::TLConfig::DefaultCategory

The default category used when creating new packages.

$TeXLive::TLConfig::InfraLocation

The subdirectory with various infrastructure files (texlive.tlpdb, tlpobj files, ...) relative to the root of the installation; currently tlpkg.

$TeXLive::TLConfig::DatabaseName

The name of our so-called database file: texlive.tlpdb. It's just a plain text file, not any kind of relational or other database.

$TeXLive::TLConfig::DatabaseLocation

Concatenation of InfraLocation "/" DatabaseName, i.e., tlpkg/texlive.tlpdb.

These values specify where to find packages.

$TeXLive::TLConfig::TeXLiveServerURL =item $TeXLive::TLConfig::TeXLiveServerURLRegexp =item $TeXLive::TLConfig::TeXLiveServerPath

TeXLiveURL is concatenated from these values, with a string between. The defaults are respectively, https://mirror.ctan.org and systems/texlive/tlnet/.

@TeXLive::TLConfig::CriticalPackagesList =item @TeXLive::TLConfig::CriticalPackagesRegexp

A list of all those packages which we do not update regularly since they are too central, currently texlive.infra and (for Windows) tlperl.win32.

$TeXLive::TLConfig::RelocTree

The texmf-tree name that can be relocated, defaults to texmf-dist.

$TeXLive::TLConfig::RelocPrefix
