tlbuild: Build distribution
4.4 Build distribution
======================
Running 'make dist' at the top level creates a tarball
'tex-live-YYYY-MM-DD.tar.xz' from the TL source tree. Running 'make
distcheck' also verifies that this tarball suffices to build and install
all of TL.
This is useful for checking consistency of the source tree and
Makefiles, but the result is not a complete or even usable TeX system,
since all the support files are lacking; ⇒Installing. We do not
actually distribute any such tarball, and have no plans to do so.
