I have a setup with several users, one acting as system administrator, the others as users. What can be said regarding the setup of the luatex cache? The possibilities I see are: (1) central cache in the /usr/local/texlive tree;
if users share the tree, this is an option
(2) decentralized cache per user in its local texmf tree
also ok, but more resources
(3) decentralized cache per user in some unrelated directory
could be hard to locate in case of wanted cleanups
(4) decentralized cache per user in /tmp (cleaned out by the system on restart, i think)
depends on how often you restart ...
Can someone comment on the merits of these alternatives?
here i use c:/temp, i.e. just the global windows temp path; this has the advantage that in case of a manual cleanup of temp files, the cashe also get erased btw, there is: mtxrun --script cache for cache managing and inspection ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
