Add separate asymptote and indy. Various consistency edits and rephrasing Texlive pass 1 now describes itself as just texlive from source, the original texlive page is no longer rendered : I will archive the latter and then rename the pass1 file in later commits, then look at what might optionally xref to the binary page.

16 <title>Typesetting</title>
17
18 <para>This chapter includes <application>texlive</application> applications that
19 create output equivalent to typesetting.</para>
20
21 <para>There are two alternative routes through this chapter:</para>
22
23 <para>Some people may wish to use the binary installer, either because of the
24 complexity of installing all of <application>texlive</application> from
25 source, or because they only want a part of the package, or perhaps because
26 they wish to get updates as soon as those are available (the source is only
27 updated annually). These people should follow the <xref
28 linkend="tl-installer"/> instructions,. After installing, they can run
29 <command>tlmgr</command> to update their system.</para>
30
31 <para>Most people reading BLFS will wish to build from source. BLFS used to
32 start by installing <application>install-tl-unx</application> and then use that
33 to bootstrap the build. Nowadays, we build almost the whole of
34 <application>texlive</application> <emphasis>without</emphasis> a binary install,
35 by adding the separately-packaged texmf files into this build. For this, begin
36 at <xref linkend="texlive"/> which will install most of
37 <application>texlive</application>, together with <emphasis>all</emphasis> of the
38 supporting files. This almost-complete install can then be used to build the
39 remaining parts of <application>texlive</application>, <xref
40 linkend="asymptote"/>, <xref linkend="xindy"/> and <xref linkend="biber"/>.
41 </para>
42
43 <para>Because the texmf files (including documentation, fonts, scripts and
44 supporting files) are all in one tarball, it is not practical to limit what
45 gets extracted in a sensible way (e.g. to exclude one or other of the typesetting
46 engines) when building from source in this manner.</para>
47
48 <para>In either case, BLFS installs into
49 <filename class="directory">/opt/texlive/&texlive-year;</filename> with the sole
50 exception of two libraries from the source install which are installed into
51 <filename class="directory">/usr/lib</filename> for convenience.</para>
