Sure, that is the intention. I do not think of the front page or the announcement as a contract, but I have added a 'related to TeX' to this phrase. > Q2: When you write "Quick start: to use this site as a > TeX Live repository, point the TeX Live package manager > to http://tlcontrib.metatex.org/2010. If you want to > know more details about using TLContrib, see the > using TLContrib page.", does this mean that I (and > others) can use /solely/ TLContrib henceforth, or No. To make this a little clearer, I've added 'temporarily' to the 'point the TLmgr' sentence. Still not the clearest possible phrasing, but better. The current multi-repository support in tlmgr is rudimentary, and it needs extensions to make extra sites like tlcontrib work in a natural way. We are already discussing such extensions off list, but there is no time frame for implementation yet.
