the next (main) release will probably have a new texexec (ruby version, smoother, faster, more clever, no ini file etc)
Hmm. I hand-updated to the latest, and now texexec wants to rebuild the format on every run. I'm not used to seeing this, anyone have any hints on where to poke around? (the format is in texmf.local/web2c/ and in a pdfetex subdir. I've texhashed, too.) adam fixing texformat path : .:{/Users/atl/Library/texmf,!!/usr/local/teTeX/ share/texmf.local,!!/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.gwtex,!!/usr/local/ teTeX/share/texmf.tetex,!!/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf}/web2c/{$ENGINE,}/{,}// 0 executable : pdfetex format : cont-en inputfile : llll output : pdftex interface : en current mode : none TeX run : 1 This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4) \write18 enabled.
