No, dependencies between tex packages are nowhere tracked. Most of the
times not even the authors know that properly.

If you meant linking zip/tpm names to CTAN, yes, it is more or less a
direct link.

That is the problem, it is only in the code, Tpm.pm is a module Fabrice
wrote long time ago, and tpm-factory.pl.

No, TL2008 will ship with a complete new infrastructure. There is a
paper in the proceedings of the GuIT meetings, also online in the
texlive svn repository, where there are also all the perl modules. And
all the modules are POD documented.

Documentation

paper:
http://www.tug.org/svn/texlive/trunk/Master/tlpkg/doc/tlinfra-guit07.pdf
from the talk there is even a video online (grrr), don't remember where.

Modules
http://www.tug.org/svn/texlive/trunk/Master/tlpkg/TeXLive/

various programs
http://www.tug.org/svn/texlive/trunk/Master/tlpkg/bin/

The new installer will (probably) be based on these modules already. We
are working hard on it.

Help appreciated. If you need details you can ask me, but mind that I am
offline for quite some time rather soon, or quasi offline.

Best wishes

Norbert

a full glutt lodge, hence the expression 'the shit of the dessert'.
