Currently, the `texlive' importer and updater is only able to handle "yearly" releases, but it is possible to specify manually any SVN revision for the TeX Live packages. I think this granularity is sufficient, in particular when we consider the sheer number of rebuilds changes to TeX Live packages usually entail. Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou
