TeXLive (TeXLive binaries, support files, TeX formats)
-This package contains most binaries, support files, TeX formats and
-packages, and other files included in the TeXLive TeX distribution.
-Included are input files for TeX, runtime configuration files,
-hyphenation tables, manpages, and the computer modern fonts.
+This package contains all binaries (including xindy, asymptote, and biber)
+and many support files, TeX formats and packages, and other files included
+in the TeXLive TeX distribution. This should be adequate for the needs of
+most TeX users.
-Some extra texmf can be found in the "texlive-texmf-extra" package
-and all of the docs can be found in the "texlive-texmf-docs" package,
-both of which are available at SlackBuilds.org.
+The remaining stuff can be found in texlive-extra, texlive-fonts, and
+texlive-docs, all of which are also available at SlackBuilds.org.
-Have a look at the texscythe package to see how the texmf archives were
-created from the original download from upstream.
+ConTeXt is currently not supported.
-The resulting packages are large, and a lot of space is required during
-the build processes, so you might want to consider defining an alternate
-location for TMP and OUTPUT if you have small /tmp partition.
+Have a look at the scripts in the prep/ directory to see how the texmf
+archives were created from the original Texlive netarchives.
-Note that this package is intended to completely replace (and then some) the
-tetex packages in Slackware, so you'll need to remove tetex and tetex-doc
-before installing TeXLive.
+Note that this package conflicts with the tetex packages in Slackware,
+so you'll need to remove tetex and tetex-doc before installing TeXLive.
