4This directory is the central repository for auxiliary files, mostly
5shell scripts, needed to build the TeX Live (TL) tree.  They are used by
6all packages `owned' by the TL tree, i.e., maintained as part of TL.

8compile, missing, test-driver, and ylwrap come from automake; ltmain.sh
9comes from libtool.  Those must be manually updated when new versions of the
10packages are installed.  The Master/tlpkg/dev/srclist.txt file has checks
11for these, but updates are not automatic.  (We generally try to use the
12latest official release, as it is available directly from GNU, not any
13distro version.)

15relpath is locally written.

17The rest of these files are maintained elsewhere and are available from
18the GNU gnulib project (http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gnulib).  The
19script Master/tlpkg/bin/tl-update-auto attempts to keep those up to date
20(except when the TL sources are frozen).
