Thanks Aditya.
What do you think of changing the default luatex-cache directory to the system's temporary directory? Consider:
- The $HOME directory is sacrosanct (4784 people agree: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapd/+bug/1575053) - The temp directory is cleared on Linux (Unix?) system reboots; purged during regular Windows upkeep - The temp directory is writable by default - Changing the location requires calling an additional program, which isn't obvious (principle of least astonishment)
Use: mtxrun --autogenerate --script mtx-context ... Aditya
