[tex-live] TeX versions

Recent postings on the tex-live list asked about versions
of TeX (or TeX Live) on certain O/S distributions.
To better answer that, I put together a file that I plan to
maintain that records TeX versions in the many systems in
our software test lab. Here it is:
% cat texlive-versions.txt
This file collects TeX distribution versions for VENDOR-PROVIDED
implementations (independent of the annual TeX Live YYYY releases) for
approximately 200 physical and virtual machines in the software test
lab in the math.utah.edu domain.
The names in the first column are a distribution name and version
number, with dots elided from the latter, so as to obtain a single
token that often suffices as a hostname.
For example,
431 == 4.31
10136 == 10.1.36
mw == Milky Way
rh == RawHide
rr == Rolling Release
With rare parenthesized exceptions, the CPU platform is x86-64 or x86.
In three cases (fedorarh32, void32, void64), the numbers mean instead
the address size in bits (x86 vs x86_64). solaris1032 is 32-bit
Solaris 10 on x86.
The designation n/a (not available) indicates that a TeX package is
not provided by the O/S distribution, or it is available, but package
conflicts prevent its installation, or it needs other software that is
not installed on that particular system.
Alpine Linux, Apple MacOS, DragonFlyBSD, Microsoft Windows, MirBSD,
Minix, and Sun/Oracle Solaris appear to have never had TeX in the
vendor binary package system.
For MacOS, the commercial TeXtures (now defunct) and the free MacTeX
(part of TeX Live), have long supplied TeXware.
For Solaris, the OpenCSW (Community Software) distribution provides
TeXware for SPARC, x86, and x86-64 CPU architectures.
For Windows, there have been several commercial implementations
(MicroTeX, PC-TeX, TurboTeX, Y&Y TeX, ...), as well as free ones
(emTeX, TeTeX, TeX Live, ...).
