Description

Feature Request

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe:

It's currently very difficult to understand the design of TiUP with respect to the handling of nightly builds, component discovery, etc.

TiUP uses a nightly build tagging system that apparently doesn't match the tagging system used in downloadable packages, Docker images, or elsewhere. The TiUP package discovery and management system should be fully documented.

Research direction

Start by locating the existing TiUP documentation and the package discovery and management entry points; no specific file or test is named in the issue. Compare the nightly-build tagging behavior with downloadable packages and Docker images, then document the package-management design and discovery rules. Done means contributors can understand how these sources and tags relate.
