As John M and others noticed:
I can't find the format file `latex.fmt'!
It turns out that mktexfmt was disabled by default. I changed that and
ran autoreconf to update all the configure scripts.
Now when I do a fresh Build, the resulting engines do dynamically make
their format files. Hope it works for others too.
So, all you platform volunteers, can you please rebuild? And then,
finally, I believe we are ready to start committing the binaries so
people can start doing further testing of the distribution. So please
send me url's or do the commits using tl-update-bindir (or laboriously
reproduce everything it does to handle symlinks, etc.).
If you can build xindy, great. If not, don't worry about it.
I am still working on the instructions for asymptote; in any case, it
will not be integrated into the build this year, so it will have to be
built completely separately, a la xz(dec).
As in the past, by far the simplest thing for me to deal with is a
"flat" tar file with the executables, with no directory components.
As in:
cd /your/texlive/karl/Build/source/inst/bin/*
tar czf /tmp/forkarl.tgz *
Thanks,
karl
