Hello everyone, a couple of questions (only with the intention of
improving texlive, not criticize):
1. The latest update of Win 10 (October) has installed by default
"tar" and "curl", for future versions of TeXLive, is it possible to
detect the windows version or detect if "tar" is installed in the
system? , to avoid installing it twice :)
2. I know that in the directory
"/texlive/2018/texmf-dist/scripts/texlive" there are proper scripts
and necessary for the operation of "texlive", my queries are as
follows (full texlive installed 2018 in win10pro x64 , without cgywin,
as in fedora 29 x64)
when going through the directory in both systems the outputs are:
% fedora
/usr/local/texlive/2018/texmf-dist/scripts/texlive
[***@fedora texlive] $ ls
allcm.sh fontinst.sh rubibtex.sh texlinks.sh
allneeded.sh kpsetool.sh rumakeindex.sh tlmgrgui.pl
dvi2fax.sh kpsewhere.sh rungs.tlu tlmgr.pl
dvired.sh lua test-tlpdb.tlu uninstall-win32.pl
e2pall.pl mktexlsr.pl texconfig-dialog.sh updmap.pl
fmtutil.pl NEWS texconfig.sh updmap-sys.sh
fmtutil-sys.sh ps2frag.sh texconfig-sys.sh updmap-user.sh
fmtutil-user.sh pslatex.sh texconf.tlu var
% windows 10
/run/media/pablo/driveC/texlive/2018/texmf-dist/scripts/texlive
[***@fedora texlive] $ ls
allcm.sh fontinst.sh rubibtex.sh texlinks.sh
allneeded.sh kpsetool.sh rumakeindex.sh tlmgrgui.pl
dvi2fax.sh kpsewhere.sh rungs.tlu tlmgr.pl

fmtutil.pl NEWS texconfig.sh updmap-sys.sh
fmtutil-sys.sh ps2frag.sh texconfig-sys.sh updmap-user.sh
fmtutil-user.sh pslatex.sh texconf.tlu var
my questions are the following:
a) Are the ".sh" scripts needed in windows (without using cgywin)?
b) "uninstall-win32.pl" script is necessary in linux? (in windows
perhaps the correct location would be /texlive/2018/tlpkg/installer)
c) What is the correct format of the NEWS file? (It's a mix between
plain text and html apparently)
