Hi Ken,
the tlpdb file has been separate for three years.
Or since 2016? Not that it matters.
tug$ locate tlpdb-full.tar.gz
../historic/systems/texlive/2016/texlive-20160523-tlpdb-full.tar.gz
../historic/systems/texlive/2017/texlive-20170524-tlpdb-full.tar.gz
../historic/systems/texlive/2018/texlive-20180414-tlpdb-full.tar.gz
../historic/systems/texlive/2019/texlive-20190410-tlpdb-full.tar.gz
../historic/systems/texlive/2020/texlive-20200406-tlpdb-full.tar.gz
../historic/systems/texlive/2021/texlive-20210325-tlpdb-full.tar.gz
../historic/systems/texlive/2022/texlive-20220325-tlpdb-full.tar.gz
Unfortunately, the canonical source is ftp only
ftp://tug.org/texlive/historic/2022/texlive-20220325-tlpdb-full.tar.gz
Or rsync, not that that will help with browsers.
tug.org::historic/systems/texlive/2022/texlive-20220325-tlpdb-full.tar.gz
and my preferred browser no longer opens that,
Same for me. Common nowadays. But I remain reluctant to make the whole
historic tree available by http(s) on tug, because it will greatly
increase robot traffic (regardless of robots.txt). I figure the mirrors
signed up for handling it more than me :).
https://tug.org/historic/
Thanks,
Karl
