Update to texlive-2022.

For the binary, libwww-perl is now recommended, therefore move
that from perl-dependencies to the top-level perl-modules.

43 <title>Introduction to TeX Live from source</title>
44
45 <note>
46 <para>
47 According to <ulink url="https://www.tug.org/historic/"/> the master
48 site in France only supports ftp and rsync. Now that ftp is generally
49 deprecated, that page has links to mirrors, some of which support https,
50 e.g. in Utah and Chemntiz as well as in China. If you prefer to use a
51 different mirror from the example links here, you will need to navigate
52 to systems/historic/texlive/&texlive-year; or systems/texlive/&texlive-year;
53 as the case may be.
54 <!-- the chinese mirros do not use a 'historic' subdirectory. -->

58 <para>
59 Most of TeX Live can be built from source without a pre-existing
60 installation, but <application>xindy</application> (for indexing) needs
61 working versions of <command>latex</command> and
62 <command>pdflatex</command> when configure is run, and the testsuite
63 and install for <command>asy</command> (for vector graphics) will fail
64 if TeX has not already been installed. Additionally,
65 <application>biber</application> is not provided within the
66 <application>texlive</application> source and the version of
67 <application>dvisvgm</application> in the
68 <application>texlive</application> tree cannot be built
69 if shared system libraries are used.

72 <para>
73 </para>
74 <para>
75 All of those packages are dealt with on their own pages and can be
76 built after installing this package. If you have not already done so, you
77 should start at <xref linkend="tex-path"/> so that the final commands to
78 initialise the new installation will be found.

120 Much of the texlive environment (including scripts, documentation,
121 fonts, and various other files) is not part of the source tarball.
122 You must download it separately. This will give you all of the
123 additional files which are provided by a full install of the binary
124 version, there is no realistic way to restrict which parts get
125 installed.
