Hi all!
Before uploading context 2007.09.28 I want to straigthen some things out
wrt luatex etc, the least is that I want to add a README so that users
can set up context/luatex themselves.
Now my questions:
- Is it possible to have MORE THAN ONE luatex cache directory? Something
like
TEXMFCACHE=/var/lib/texmf/systexmf-cache;$HOME/.texmf-var/texmfcache
such that
/v/l/t/systexmf-cache contains the cached trees for the system
trees (/usr/share/texmf{,-texlive}, ...)
$HOME/.texmf-var/texmfcache contains the cache of the users
home directory texmf tree
- Is it possible to tell luatools to update only some (or only one)
texmf tree? Something like
luatools --generate /usr/share/texmf-texlive
?
- Is there an obvious objection to replace luatex binary with a script
which contains the necessary TEXMFCNF settings, something like
if [ -z "$TEXMFCNF" ] ; then
TEXMFCNF=/usr/share/texmf/web2c
export TEXMFCNF
fi
luatex.bin $*
? Reason: First is that we know where the texmf.cnf is and we don't
have to urge the user to set the env var. Furthermore a user CAN
override the TEXMFCNF settings if he wants to.
Thanks a lot, and sorry for buggering you with these questions, but I
want to get a decent system for Debian.
Best wishes
Norbert
