-Public domain.  Originally written 2006, Karl Berry.
-
-This Build directory contains sources and tools which are used in
-building TeX Live, but are not part of the live hierarchy.  Each subdir
-has another README with more details.
-
-logs   - complete logs of all commits to the TL source repositories.
-source - the actual sources for all the executable programs.
-tests  - a testing infrastructure, quiescent for some years
-         but left here in case it gets revived some day.
-
-Directories named tmp.raw and tmp.cooked are also created/used/removed
-here by ctan2tl, ctan2tds, and place.
-
-If you know enough about TeX to be reading this, then you (or your
-institution) should consider joining a TeX user group (there's a list at
-http://tug.org/usergroups.html) -- if you're already a member, thanks
-for your support!
-
-The TeX Users Group, the oldest such group, produces the periodicals
-TUGboat (http://tug.org/TUGboat), The PracTeX Journal
-(http://tug.org/pracjourn), sponsors an annual meeting,
-and hosts TeX Live development and distribution.
