Texlive - minimal workaround for ConTeXt.

Use scripts so that 'mkiv' (based on luatex) will work,
rather than requiring extra package 'luametatex' which
is very different from the rest of texlive.

40 <title>Introduction to TeX Live from source</title>
41
42 <note>
43 <para>
44 According to <ulink url="https://www.tug.org/historic/"/> the master
45 site in France only supports ftp and rsync. Now that ftp is generally
46 deprecated, that page has links to mirrors, some of which support https,
47 e.g. in Utah and Chemntiz as well as in China. If you prefer to use a
48 different mirror from the example links here, you will need to navigate
49 to systems/historic/texlive/&texlive-year; or systems/texlive/&texlive-year;
50 as the case may be.
51 <!-- the chinese mirros do not use a 'historic' subdirectory. -->

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

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

117 Much of the texlive environment (including scripts, documentation,

119 You must download it separately. This will give you all of the
120 additional files which are provided by a full install of the binary
121 version, there is no realistic way to restrict which parts get
