I thought the lua scripts in the cont-tmf.zip distribution are residing in <texmf>/scripts/context/lua/. Is this a change or are they different files?
Different files, see Taco's message from 17:31.
Will these locations be put on the searchpath too? Or will the environment variables LUA_PATH and LUA_CPATH, mentioned in the above, be included in the search?
I don't know how the developers will solve that, but it's obvious that it needs to be handled somehow (maybe through kpathsea? Yet another variable name in texmf.cnf ...).
Kpathsea has no trouble finding lua files in the tex/ path, but I remember talking to Karl about a specific variable a while back. That would not be a big deal, there are so many of them already that one extra hardly matters. The issue about <texmf>/luatex/lua is that luatex should be able to find these files even if kpathsea initialization is off or delayed. That is why they have to become part of the 'compiled-in' package.path. If|Once kpathsea is active, luatex could simply use it for finding the lua modules, but that may never happen and I want to have a strong guarantee about the discoverability of the files in <texmf>/luatex/lua. Best wishes, Taco
