Cygwin's TeX Live packages have been updated to the latest upstream
release, TeX Live 2013.
TeX Live provides a comprehensive, cross-platform TeX system. It
includes all the major TeX-related programs, macro packages, and fonts
that are free software, including support for many languages around the
world. For more information, see
http://www.tug.org/texlive/
The TeX Live executables and supporting libraries are contained in the
following Cygwin packages:
*** texlive-20130529-1
*** libkpathsea6-20130529-1
*** libkpathsea-devel-20130529-1
libkpathsea is a TeX file and path search library.
*** libptexenc1-20130529-1
*** libptexenc-devel-20130529-1
libptexenc is a TeX Unicode encoding library.
*** asymptote-2.23-1
Asymptote is a powerful descriptive vector graphics language for
technical drawing, inspired by MetaPost but with an improved C++-like
syntax. Asymptote provides for figures the same high-quality
typesetting that LaTeX does for scientific text.
In addition, upstream TeX Live provides thousands of "packages", grouped
into "collections". There is a Cygwin package for each upstream
collection; there are also Cygwin packages containing documentation for
some of the collections.

Due to upstream reorganization of the collections, the following Cygwin
packages are now obsolete:
*** texlive-collection-documentation-arabic
*** texlive-collection-documentation-base
*** texlive-collection-documentation-bulgarian
*** texlive-collection-documentation-chinese
*** texlive-collection-documentation-czechslovak
*** texlive-collection-documentation-dutch
*** texlive-collection-documentation-english
*** texlive-collection-documentation-finnish
*** texlive-collection-documentation-french
*** texlive-collection-documentation-german
*** texlive-collection-documentation-italian
*** texlive-collection-documentation-japanese
*** texlive-collection-documentation-korean
*** texlive-collection-documentation-mongolian
*** texlive-collection-documentation-polish
*** texlive-collection-documentation-portuguese
*** texlive-collection-documentation-russian
*** texlive-collection-documentation-serbian
*** texlive-collection-documentation-slovenian
*** texlive-collection-documentation-spanish
*** texlive-collection-documentation-thai
*** texlive-collection-documentation-turkish
*** texlive-collection-documentation-ukrainian
*** texlive-collection-documentation-vietnamese
*** texlive-collection-langcroatian
*** texlive-collection-langfinnish
*** texlive-collection-langhebrew
*** texlive-collection-langhungarian
*** texlive-collection-langlithuanian
*** texlive-collection-langmongolian
*** texlive-collection-langswedish
*** texlive-collection-langtibetan
*** texlive-collection-langturkmen
*** texlive-collection-langvietnamese
*** texlive-collection-texinfo
With one exception, setup.exe should automatically offer to install
replacements for any of these obsolete packages that you have installed.
The exception is the tiny package texlive-collection-texinfo, whose
contents have now been absorbed by the much larger
texlive-collection-plainextra. Most people do not need what was in
texlive-collection-texinfo, but they have installed it because it was
mistakenly required by various other packages. So if you really want
it, you'll have to explicitly choose to install
texlive-collection-plainextra.
Postinstall scripts
===================
Many of the texlive-collection-* packages have time-consuming
postinstall scripts, especially if they have to install fonts or
formats. Please be patient, and don't assume that the scripts or
setup.exe have hung.
Recommendations
===============
Most people do not need the full TeX Live installation, which is huge
and can take hours to install. If you're not sure what you need, here
are some possible ways to start:
Minimal: Install texlive and its dependencies. This provides plain TeX
but not LaTeX.
Small: Install texlive-collection-latex and its dependencies. This is a
minimal installation with LaTeX.
Standard: Install texlive-collection-latexrecommended and its
dependencies. This provides the most commonly used non-graphics LaTeX
packages. Install texlive-collection-pictures if you want the standard
graphics packages too.
If you find you need more, consider installing the following packages:
* texlive-collection-bibtexextra
* texlive-collection-binextra
* texlive-collection-fontsextra
* texlive-collection-formatsextra
* texlive-collection-genericextra
* texlive-collection-latexextra
* texlive-collection-mathextra
