Dear Edd and Stuart, Sorry I could not join the party earlier. I started testing TeXLive 2012 i386 on current. The diff
http://junkpile.org/tl.diff.2 Stuart posted works great. TeXLive builds and runs fine. I tested many complex documents. Some highlights of my early testing: 1. Semantic checkers chktex and lacheck work as expected 2. PSTrics (heavy user here) works as expected. My usual workflow tex->dvi->ps->pdf works without a glitch. 3. bibtex, natbib works great have not checked biblatex will check. 4. RevTeX4.1 class which I used to install manually works as expected. 5. ModernCV, modern letter, exams class works as expected. 6. I tested flyers, posters, badges, powerdot all sorts of very complicated documents (floats, hyperref, index anything you can think of). 7. Have not checked latexmk (I usually use home brewed Makefiles) on my todo list. 8. I have not tested MetaPost on my todo list (I do not use it). I am also planning to play with Metafont. 9. Asymptote not tested. 10. pdfjam tested. 11. tex4ht and htlatex tested. 12. LuaTeX not tested, ConTeXT not tested. I will play in next couple of weeks. 13. XeTeX not tested! 14. detex tested. The most important for the last. I could not find tlgmr. I am working under the assumption that you removed tlgmr from the build intensionally? However I see lots of tl related binaries: intltool-extract intltool-update intltool-merge intltoolize installfont-tl intltool-prepare That is the first thing I am going to hit next couple of days. I probably left out tons of other stuff too but this is all I could do in one day. IMHO TeXLive2012 works good enough to be imported into the current tree. That would hopefully attract some more testers. Thank you so much for your hard work. Best, Predrag P.S. Do you want me to test on amd64 and sparc64? I usually stay with i386 because of Opera. Any reports on loongson and sgi? I do not have the hardware.
