. cache should be read from more then one directory, eg from TEXMFSYSCACHE and TEXMFCACHE (with usual override stuff) . single cache updates should be possible: luatools --generate $HOME/texmf should generate the cache for $HOME/texmf in $TEXMFCACHE
let's assume that this is only useful for formats and file databases (i cannot imagine a sysadm messing around with documents in order to get a couple of font tables done)
Definitely. The idea is that the cache is for the files installed by system software (Debian packages, Windows sysadm installing TeX Live, etc).
now, i added an environment variable so that you can control this ...
input.usecache = not toboolean(os.getenv("TEXMFSHARECACHE") or "false",true)
yes, true, one, 1 are all equal to true so you can try
set TEXMFCACHE=true
well, your shell equivalent of that
TEXMFCACHE or TEXMFSHARECACHE? But I don't see how this will work? I checked the luacode a bit and I saw that it only loads from ONE cache directory. Could we set LUATEXCACHE=/var/lib/sysluacache:$TEXMFVAR/luacache:... TEXMFSHARECACHE=yes ?? Or do I misunderstand something?
beware, for this beta you need a recent luatex because we no longer preload patterns but load them at runtime (smaller format, faster start, faster run) so we're talking real beta here -)
svn, or is there going to be a release sometimes soon?
Thanks a lot and all the best
