[tlbuild] Problem regarding TexLive

[Norbert Preining]

Hi

No. That will NOT WORK!

First of all: Why do you not use the Debian binaries? What did
you actually call
	apt-get install texlive
or
	apt-get install texlive-full
?
Both of them will install all binaries.

Now why the above is wrong: The BUild script in the svn expects a directory
layout similar to what the TeX Live installer creates:
	ROOT/bin/ARCH/<binaries>
	ROOT/texmf-dist/...
but the Debian layout is different:
	/usr/bin/<binaries>
	/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/...
Thus simply compiling with Build and dropping the binaries into /usr/bin
*will*not*work.


Please explain what you are trying to achieve, and we can help you.

Norbert
