Thanks.

I have a couple of more questions about texlive.tlpdb if you don't 
mind.

1. Files from tlpkg/tlperl/ are mentioned twice - as "binfiles 
arch=win32" in 00texlive.installer and as "runfiles" in tlperl.win32. 
Some files from tlpkg/installer/ are also mentioned twice, are 
mentioned twice and tlpkg/installer/tar.exe -- even 3 times. Is it 
normal?

2. There are some packages (like cyrillic.win32) without any files. Is 
it normal?

And some more notes.

* Package parrun has a strange value for catalogue-date:

  catalogue-date 2007-02-24 15:09:57 +0100 (Sat, 24 Feb 2007) $

All other packages don't have anything after timezone.

* Several packages are not on ctan and therefore have empty 
catalogue-ctan:

  colorsep
  dvips
  gustlib
  kpathsea
  latex
  texdoc
  times
  xmlplay

More curious than erroneous.

These are found when checking texlive.tlpdb with attached perl script.

* Package smflatex is listed with "catalogue-license nosource". 67 
packages are listed with "catalogue-license noinfo" and a couple of 
packages (mkjobtexmf & texdirflatten) uwith "catalogue-license 
artistic". Should probably be checked before release...
