We provide a mirror available via rsync:///historic/. See the article by Ulrik Vieth at for an overview.

The TeX Live historic archives hierarchy contains various items of interest in TeX history, from individual files to entire systems. While we exclude the above files from being recorded in the git repository, the actual CTAN directory is complete and contains all files, meaning that rsync checkout contains everything.Īccess to these services is provided as follows: We will see how the git repository grows over time, and whether we can support this on a long term time range. git directory for now at something reasonable amount (a few Gb). The concrete list is tar, zip, pkg, cab, jar, dmg, rpm, deb, tgz, iso, exe, cab, as well as files containing one of these extensions (that means that files will be ignored, too).

In a perfect world I could get git commits for each single package update, but that would need a lot of collaboration with the CTAN Team (and maybe this will happen in the future), but for now there is one rsync of the CTAN a day committed after the sync.Ĭonsidering the total size of CTAN (currently around 40G), we decided to ignore file types that provide no useful information when put into git, mostly large binary files. The second big item is putting CTAN into a git repository. Starting with 0, for each day rsync backups of the tlnet directory are done, and they are available at YYYY/MM/DD/tlnet. This has created some problems for distributions requiring specific versions, as well as problems with rollbacks in case of buggy packages. The packages there are updated on a daily basis according to updates on CTAN that make it into the TeX Live repository. TeX Live is distributed via the CTAN network in CTAN/systems/texlive/tlnet.

New services added recently are marked with an asterisk (*) at the end. In addition to the services that have already been provided before on my server, this makes a considerable list, and I thought it is a good idea to summarize all of the services. I have been working over the last weeks to provide four more services for the TeX (Live) community: an archive of TeX Live’s network installation directory tlnet, a git repository of CTAN, a mirror of the TeX Live historic archives, and a new tlpretest mirror.
