As the compressed tar files are only produced following a release of the complete libraries, it may be necessary to retrieve individual source files, e.g. if one wishes to install a new version of a library or modules. In this case, one should transfer the appropriate .car and .cra files.
N.B. please also check ensure that you copy the latest versions of any files in the mgr tree.

N.B. as many of the CERN library packages depend on each other, you may require new versions of other packages as well.
