=item C<< TeXLive::TLPDB->new( [root => "$path"] ) >>

C<< TeXLive::TLPDB->new >> creates a new C<TLPDB> object. If the
argument C<root> is given it will be initialized from the respective
location starting at $path. If C<$path> begins with C<http://>, C<https://>,
C<ftp://>, C<scp://>, C<ssh://> or C<I<user>@I<host>:>, the respective file
is downloaded.  The C<$path> can also start with C<file:/> in which case it
is treated as a file on the filesystem in the usual way.

Returns an object of type C<TeXLive::TLPDB>, or undef if the root was
given but no package could be read from that location.

=item C<< $tlpdb->merge_catalogue_data >>

Loads the catalogue-only database (C<texlive-catalogue-only.tlpdb>, a
sibling of the main C<texlive.tlpdb>) and merges its catalogue-related
fields (C<catalogue>, C<shortdesc>, C<longdesc>, and the C<catalogue-*>
keys) into the packages already present in this database, overwriting
any values found there.

This is meant to be called on demand, only when catalogue data is
actually needed (listing or searching catalogue data), so that the main
database can be kept free of catalogue data that changes independently
of the packages themselves.

The operation is idempotent (the merge is done at most once), and it is
not an error for the catalogue-only database to be absent: in that case
nothing is merged and whatever catalogue data the main database already
contains is used unchanged. For a virtual database only the C<main>
member repository is enriched; sub-repositories keep whatever catalogue
data they ship inline (or none), and no catalogue-only database is
fetched for them.

By default, for virtual tlpdbs only packages that are installable
are listed. That means, packages that are only in subsidiary repositories

not listed. Adding "-all" argument lists also these packages.

Finally, if there is another argument, the tlpdb must be virtual,
and the argument must specify a tag/name of a sub-tlpdb. In this
case all packages (without exceptions) from this repository are returned.

=item C<< $tlpdb->expand_dependencies(["control",] $tlpdb, ($pkgs)) >>

If the first argument is the string C<"-only-arch">, expands only
dependencies of the form C<.>I<ARCH>.

If the first argument is C<"-no-collections">, then dependencies between
"same-level" packages (scheme onto scheme, collection onto collection,
package onto package) are ignored.

C<-only-arch> and C<-no-collections> cannot be specified together; has
to be one or the other.

The next (or first) argument is the target TLPDB, then a list of
packages.

In the virtual case, if a package name is tagged with C<@repository-tag>
then all the dependencies will still be expanded between all included
databases.  Only in case of C<.>I<ARCH> dependencies the repository-tag
is sticky.

We return a list of package names, the closure of the package list with
respect to the depends operator. (Sorry, that was for mathematicians.)

=item C<< $tlpdb->sizes_of_packages ( $opt_src, $opt_doc, $ref_arch_list, [ @packs ] ) >>

These functions return a reference to a hash with package names as keys
and the sizes in bytes as values. The sizes are computed for the list of
package names given as the fourth argument, or all packages if not
specified. The difference between the two functions is that the C<_with_deps>
gives the size of packages including the size of all depending sizes.

If the value for a given key is undef, that package has been deleted.

If anything has been computed one additional key is synthesized,
C<__TOTAL__>, which contains the total size of all packages under
consideration. In the case of C<_with_deps> this total computation
does B<not> count packages multiple times, even if they appear
multiple times as dependencies.

If the third argument is a reference to a list of architectures, then
only the sizes for the binary packages for these architectures are used,
otherwise all sizes for all architectures are summed.

The purpose of virtual databases is to collect several data sources
and present them in one way. The normal functions will always return
the best candidate for the set of functions.

that package.

Note that there might not be an install candidate, but still the
package is provided by a sub-repository. This can happen if a package
is present only in the sub-repository and there is no explicit pin
for that package in the pinning file.

=head1 OPTIONS

Options regarding the full TeX Live installation to be described are saved
in a package C<00texlive.config> as values of C<depend> lines. This special
package C<00texlive.config> does not contain any files, only depend lines
which set one or more of the following options:

=over 4

=item C<container_split_src_files/[01]>

=item C<container_split_doc_files/[01]>

These options specify that at container generation time the source and
documentation files for a package have been put into a separate container
named C<package.source.extension> and C<package.doc.extension>.

=item C<container_format/I<format>>

This option specifies a format for containers. The currently supported 
formats are C<xz> and C<zip>. But note that C<zip> is untested.

=item C<release/I<relspec>>

This option specifies the current release. The first four characters must
be a year.

=item C<minrelease/I<relspec>>

This option specifies the minimum release for which this repository is
valid.

=back

To set these options the respective lines should be added to
C<00texlive.config.tlpsrc>.
