Description
Date: Thu, 1 Apr 2021 11:35:11 -0600 From: Karl Berry <karl@freefriends.org> To: tex-live@tug.org Subject: tl21 released Message-Id: <202104011735.131HZBI1013649@freefriends.org> Hi everyone - I've moved the tl20 and mactex20 images and other files to the public areas on tug.org. They are making their way around CTAN. Please give it a couple days to reach the mirrors. There are no changes from the final pretest. I've updated the TL web pages at https://tug.org/texlive, though doubtless some staleness remains. Let me know if problems. We hope a torrent for the .iso will be available soon, linked from https://tug.org/texlive/acquire-iso.html. The TeX Collection image is not yet final, so I haven't made those updates. We have no ETA on this year's DVD mailing as yet. Unfortunately, having made the release, I am going to be offline for several days. So please be sure to report problems to a mailing list, not me individually. I won't see any new mail until next week. Happy TeXing. --karl
Initial version is 20210325.

Providing that none of the essential fixes need anything from texmf, I can get the fixes from https://github.com/TeX-Live/texlive-source (NB the master branch, not the 2021 branch which is older!)

I will be looking at the binary before trying to work out what needs to change to build the source.

For the source, system poppler is gone. That option remains as a no-op, but the option for system xpdf remains - without including the poppler include directory, causing configure to fail. So drop both options.
From NEWS (reformatted)
NEWS - source: poppler support removed, as it was too hard to keep in sync with upstream. In native TL, pdftex has always used libs/xpdf, which is cut-down and adapted code from xpdf.

It seems I did not explain why patches are necessary. See https://tug.org/pipermail/tlbuild/2021q2/004885.html. Note that a binary install updates to all those items plus all newer ones.
Looking at the patches for that range of commits, some are updating texk/texlive/linked_scripts/ e.g. fontools/afm2afm gets a newer version. It turns out that the files in linked_scripts/ get installed into texmf-dist during the install.
At the moment our instructions then overwrite them with what is in the texmf-dist tarball. It turns out that adding '--keep-newer-files' prevents them being overwritten (and reports a lot of files as 'is newer or same age').

I then re-read Karl's post: only a few updated binaries are needed, so I reduced the patches I'm using and dropped the '--keep-newer-files' switch.

Fixed in @00a31549ff76c17b5539327ae8405cc4d9efe2bb. I also updated xindy to match the current binary, in @17156823af4e7c39dc1f939183176d01842a4a0f
[ edited to prefix the FULL hash with an '@' : that links to the commit, using a shorter version of the hash does not seem to link.]
Starting to look at this. I need to remind myself how to get the upstream fixes (mpost and luatex). Oh, I was hoping to stop building subversion :-(
