why these two different values? I consider texmf-home as wrong.
because i dislike having a 'texmf' other than the main one anywhere (if only because it makes tracing a pain) .. i'll set it to texmf but will probably add some warnings in a future version
Well, I know that, we've been discussing it for a while. But then both mkii and mkiv still should have the same value. And ~/texmf is the canonical thing; disregarding it will confuse any casual user.
strange as that should be intercepted. I'll see what my mac does with it when i hav eit up and running.
I get the same behavior on linux.
tree:// is just one of the uri's supported (and permits loading files from some tree) and this scheme is autoinserted when no !! is used; the !! will become cache:// .. much of that is still experimental
OK, thanks for the info. I used to have my own configuration, but environment variables aren't used any more. How does mkiv store the config information now? How could I overwrite the values that mtxrun --variables shows? All best Thomas
