I do have one question about the various texlive-collection-* packages.
Do you have some automated way of getting the TeX Live package lists
that are in the .cygport files (TEXLIVE_TEXMF_PKGS, etc.)? The lists
can be gotten from the texlive.tlpdb file, but it doesn't seem obvious
to me how to automate this.
Not exactly. I started with this, after having created all of the
texlive-collection-* directories:
========
date=$(date +%Y%m%d)
trunk=http://www.tug.org/svn/texlive/trunk/Master/tlpkg/tlpsrc
for p in texlive-collection-*
do
deps=$(curl -s "${trunk}/${p#texlive-}.tlpsrc?view=co" \
| grep ^depend | cut -d' ' -f2 | grep -v collection- \
| sed -e ':a;N;$!ba;s|\n| |g')
echo -e TEXLIVE_TEXMF_PKGS=\"${deps}\"\\ninherit texlive> $p/$p-$date-1.cygport
done
sed -i -e 's/TEXMF/DOC/' texlive-collection-documentation-*/*.cygport
=========
Then I still had to do the following manually:
1) Scan the .tlpkg files in each collection (once downloaded and
prepped) for .ARCH depends, and move those from TEXMF_PKGS to ARCH_PKGS.
2) Primarily in collection-lang*, see which individual packages were
just placeholders for docs, moving them from TEXMF_PKGS to DOC_PKGS.
3) Drop any empty hyphenation packages from collection-lang*.
Now that that is all done though, from here on out I think your best bet
is to track TeX Live subversion:
svn co svn://tug.org/texlive/trunk/Master/tlpkg/tlpsrc
then in tlpsrc:
svn diff -r {20120202} | less
(where 20120202 is the date of the last packages) and just translate any
changes to collection-*.tlpsrc into the existing .cygport files. Doing
that just now showed that nine collections already have minor changes.
