see my other email about multiple cache merging, but to some up: . 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) as it happens, the file databases and formats used to go into the tree, but currently i default to input.usecache = true 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 i will upload a beta (generating now) so that you can play with it (luat-tmp, luatools and mtxrun are all adapted) 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 -) 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
