The maintainer of the bidi package, as well as some other packages, has requested that all his packages be removed from CTAN and therefore TeX Live.

Howdy,

Today's TLU update brought back most of the other packages that were removed along with bidi. It appears that TeX Live 2012 will be frozen very shortly for work on TeX Live 2013 so don't expect many more updates after this one, if any at all.

Good Luck,
