Correct the date in the changelog, add texmf to allow texlive to be installed without the binary installer.

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. You can either
32 do as BLFS used to do, by starting with <application>install-tl-unx</application>,
33 or you can avoid the binary files completely and begin at
34 <xref linkend="texpass1"/> which will install most of
35 <application>texlive</application>, together with <emphasis>all</emphasis> of the
36 supporting files. This almost-complete install is then used to build two
37 remaining parts of <application>texlive</application>, xindy and asy (that
38 involves recompiling all of the package, but not reinstalling all of it).</para>
39
40 <para>Because the texmf files (including documentation, fonts, scripts and
41 supporting files) are all in one tarball, it is not practical to limit what
42 gets extracted in a sensible way (e.g. to exclude one or other of the typesetting
43 engines).</para>
44
45 <para>After that, people building from source will wish to install <xref
46 linkend="biber"/>, which is supplied separately, to complete the full
47 installation.</para>
