Yes, that is code freeze for the source/ subtree which builds binaries.<br>

<br>
In former times, we stopped updating the previous year TL version and<br>
updates only went to tlpretest. But lots of people requested updates to<br>
continue, in particular since the time window was about 1month.<br>
<br>
Maybe the best option is:<br>
- upload to CTAN and before/around that<br>
- ask Karl to ONLY install your package to tlpretest<br>
<br>
That would do the same thing.<br>
<br>
Best regards<br>
