I have a few questions about this announcement.
1st question:
Lua scripts have their place under <texmf>/scripts/lua already, 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?
only some mtx-* scripts; they use libs that are in tex/context/base and that will not change; macro packages should put their code under their designated paths (for latex there is also a subpath for authors, for context there is the /third etc subpaths for users)
2nd question: In many instances the system location to place lua libraries is somewhere like /usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/lpeg.so etc. for dynamic libraries /usr/local/share/lua/5.1/re.lu etc. for lua coded modules See the discussion on page 140 of the book Programming in Lua by Roberto Ierusalimschy. 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?
loading of extra libraries (the core libs will remain statically linked) will be looked into later 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
