[tlu] TLU 1.52 released

[Adam R. Maxwell]

I guess I can remind people thatdefaults write com.googlecode.mactlmgr.tlu TLMEnableNetInstall 1will give you a tab in TLU for installation. I haven't tested it in years, so it could be horribly broken by now, but it's covered in the Help book.On Jan 18, 2022, at 11:55 AM, Bruno Voisin <bvoisin at icloud.com> wrote:Le 18 Jan 2022 à 17:43, Adam R.

You could try making the directory it's complaining about, but it looks like the installation has been corrupted.sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/texlive/2021/tlpkg/backupsIndeed, this didn't suffice. I had to trash /usr/local/texlive/2021 and reinstall from scratch.Given it's High Sierra, MacTeX wasn't an option. I downloaded install-tl-unx.tar.gz, unarchived it, downloaded cacert.pem, put it inside, then ranexport CURL_CA_BUNDLE=cacert.pemsudo -E ./install-tlSix random packages failed to install on first try (failed download, in my -- very -- limited experience a common occurrence when using install-tl). install-tl was clever enough to retry to install them, successfully this time, at the end of the process.I then installed TeXDist-2021.pkg.Having done that, I'm happy to confirm TeX Live Utility 1.52 works like a breeze on High Sierra.About why the preceding installation was broken:- This time at the end of its run, install-tl gaveRetrying to install: dvicopy.x86_64-darwinlegacy [54k]Retrying to install: edmargin [313k]Retrying to install: multidef [200k]Retrying to install: niceframe-type1 [271k]Retrying to install: ocr-b-outline [270k]Retrying to install: schedule [251k]Retrying to install: xecolor [4k]Time used for installing the packages: 1:39:10running mktexlsr /usr/local/texlive/2021/texmf-dist ...writing fmtutil.cnf to /usr/local/texlive/2021/texmf-dist/web2c/fmtutil.cnfwriting updmap.cfg to /usr/local/texlive/2021/texmf-dist/web2c/updmap.cfgwriting language.dat to /usr/local/texlive/2021/texmf-var/tex/generic/config/language.datwriting language.def to /usr/local/texlive/2021/texmf-var/tex/generic/config/language.defwriting language.dat.lua to /usr/local/texlive/2021/texmf-var/tex/generic/config/language.dat.luarunning mktexlsr /usr/local/texlive/2021/texmf-var /usr/local/texlive/2021/texmf-config /usr/local/texlive/2021/texmf-dist ...running updmap-sys --nohash ...donere-running mktexlsr /usr/local/texlive/2021/texmf-var /usr/local/texlive/2021/texmf-config ...setting up ConTeXt cache: running mtxrun --generate ...donepre-generating all format files, be patient...running fmtutil-sys --no-error-if-no-engine=luajithbtex,luajittex,mfluajit --no-strict --all ...donerunning package-specific postactionsfinished with package-specific postactionsSummary of warnings:[...]Welcome to TeX Live!- In my previous attempt giving the broken setup, I had got instead:Retrying to install: aalok [211k]TeXLive::TLUtils::check_file_and_remove: checksums differ for /var/folders/sv/g4y7nlzs3g5dntww4wgh87kh0000gn/T/oifvtAhlrm/Q0SR8wyRSD/aalok.tar.xz:TeXLive::TLUtils::check_file_and_remove:   tlchecksum=9244ff3298e30de0615c76b7051d74ee9ee1f7c05f9d41cdf4324525c3f88458cc229cb027988294ab283cbef64da90600b199f90c515f2467c76c1379adf6b8, arg=9e202d3c3e33c38c1cc7ce5fac9ab9759c2dc684d17c9b450ade236ed392acda87b11a2d028c65da74c6fbca2d962a09b2bbd854b7dc298865791009ee18b1b4TeXLive::TLUtils::check_file_and_remove: backtrace:-> /Users/brunovoisin/Downloads/install-tl-20220103/tlpkg/TeXLive/TLUtils.pm:2409: TeXLive::TLUtils::check_file_and_remove-> /Users/brunovoisin/Downloads/install-tl-20220103/tlpkg/TeXLive/TLPDB.pm:1983: TeXLive::TLUtils::unpack-> /Users/brunovoisin/Downloads/install-tl-20220103/tlpkg/TeXLive/TLPDB.pm:1818: TeXLive::TLPDB::_install_data-> /Users/brunovoisin/Downloads/install-tl-20220103/tlpkg/TeXLive/TLPDB.pm:1734: TeXLive::TLPDB::not_virtual_install_package-> /Users/brunovoisin/Downloads/install-tl-20220103/tlpkg/TeXLive/TLUtils.pm:1643: TeXLive::TLPDB::install_package-> /Users/brunovoisin/Downloads/install-tl-20220103/install-tl:2135: TeXLive::TLUtils::install_packages-> /Users/brunovoisin/Downloads/install-tl-20220103/install-tl:946: main::do_install_packages-> /Users/brunovoisin/Downloads/install-tl-20220103/install-tl:700: main::do_installationTeXLive::TLUtils::check_file_and_remove:   removing /var/folders/sv/g4y7nlzs3g5dntww4wgh87kh0000gn/T/oifvtAhlrm/Q0SR8wyRSD/aalok.tar.xz, but saving copy in /var/folders/sv/g4y7nlzs3g5dntww4wgh87kh0000gn/T/Zi_iyy2crJTLPDB::_install_data: downloading did not succeed (check_file_and_remove failed) for https://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet/archive/aalok.tar.xzInstallation failed.Rerunning the installer will try to restart the installation.Or you can restart by running the installer with: install-tl --profile installation.profile [YOUR-EXTRA-ARGS]So one download retry had failed and the initialization steps had never been carried out.
