Or perhaps 2 completely different distributions? mkii: frozen, only some fixes from time to time mkiv: no more mkii files, no more pdftex, just pure mkiv

this can already be done (just install with the --engine=luatex flag)

the main issue is that mtxrun also replaces the ruby texmfstart script and texexec is launched via mtxrun; so mtxrun needs to be able to deal with mkii situations where kpse is used for lookups later on; as the installer uses the --tree option, and as mkiv has an abstract notion of the texroot, some hoops have to be jumped through to get it working for both machineries

You mentioned earlier that texexec could be replaced by mtxrun completely, that only a bit is missing. Would this solve the problem? Regards, Vedran Miletić
