Texlive-2015. Looking at what I've done in the past in texlive, I'm sure there are probably still errors - if anybody has the time, disk space, inclination, and perhaps their own tex file(s), to review the from source instructions I would appreciate it. My own (lastex, minimal context) test files are in my directory on higgs.

40 <para>Most of TeX Live can be built from source without a pre-existing

42 working versions of <command>latex</command> and <command>pdflatex</command>
43 when configure is run, and the testsuite and install for
44 <command>asy</command> (for vector graphics) will fail if TeX has not
45 already been installed. Additionally, <application>biber</application> is
46 not provided within the <application>texlive</application> source.</para>

48 <para>All of those packages are dealt with on their own pages and can be

78 <para>Much of the texlive environment (including scripts, documentation,
79 fonts and various other files) is not part of the source tarball. You must
80 download it separately. This will give you all of the additional files
81 which are provided by a full install of the binary version, there is no

153 <para>
154 From 2015 onwards, a successful install requires some texlive
