But I don't see how this will work? I checked the luacode a bit and I saw that it only loads from ONE cache directory. Could we set LUATEXCACHE=/var/lib/sysluacache:$TEXMFVAR/luacache:... TEXMFSHARECACHE=yes ?? Or do I misunderstand something?
formats go to the paths defined in texmf.cnf (TEXFORMATS) and the filedatabses go alongside the ls-R files, so basically it then behaves like any other tex the cache path is only used and populated at runtime, so LUATEXCACHE=$TEXMFVAR/luacache:... TEXMFSHARECACHE=yes should be ok then; if needed, later i can look into a way to share other cache stuff (say that you generate tmc files for 300 fonts at installation time) but if i understoof right, the main reason was formats and file databases Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
