Hello Hans,

...

not by luatex, but by mkiv ... kpse is not used at all, some day mkiv will use its own configuration files, currently, if you change a cfn file (or add files ot the tree) you need to run luatools --generate

But what for I could change a cnf file if it is ignored by mkiv?

it's not ignored, if you do luatools --generate, it is read, converted into a lua table, adapted a bit, saved in the cache, and read each run

And what luatools --generate does? Does it perform a subset of texexec --make --luatex functions, or makes something slightly different? I always run the latter command to resolve any problem. :)

it replaces kpsewhich + some more (you can run/generate formats, where it will take care of bootstrapping issues) what the --generate does ... well, it tells you ... creating file databases, preparing configurations, storing them for fast access, etc (the same code is used in mkiv, but there we also can access other resouces like zip files) LuaTools | loading c:/data/develop/tex/texmf-mine/web2c/texmf.cnf LuaTools | preparing configuration in c:/temp/luatex-cache/context/36cfaf81cc343ab858e892f7ccbb5039/trees/36cfaf81cc343ab858e892f7cc bb5039.tma LuaTools | saving configuration in c:/temp/luatex-cache/context/36cfaf81cc343ab858e892f7ccbb5039/trees/36cfaf81cc343ab858e892f7ccbb5 039.tma LuaTools | compiling configuration to c:/temp/luatex-cache/context/36cfaf81cc343ab858e892f7ccbb5039/trees/36cfaf81cc343ab858e892f7cc bb5039.tmc LuaTools | locating list of c:/data/develop/tex/texmf-project LuaTools | locating list of c:/data/develop/tex/texmf-fonts LuaTools | locating list of c:/data/develop/tex/texmf-local LuaTools | locating list of c:/data/develop/tex/texmf-extra LuaTools | locating list of c:/data/develop/tex/texmf LuaTools | scanning path c:/data/develop/tex/texmf-fonts LuaTools | 4939 files found on 276 directories with 62 uppercase remappings LuaTools | scanning path c:/data/develop/tex/texmf-local LuaTools | 6349 files found on 355 directories with 3 uppercase remappings LuaTools | scanning path c:/data/develop/tex/texmf-extra LuaTools | 58 files found on 117 directories with 0 uppercase remappings LuaTools | scanning path c:/data/develop/tex/texmf LuaTools | 59048 files found on 5112 directories with 2079 uppercase remappings LuaTools | preparing files in c:/temp/luatex-cache/context/36cfaf81cc343ab858e892f7ccbb5039/trees/9d7d4301715a734deee39f8c8235fb6e.t ma LuaTools | saving files in c:/temp/luatex-cache/context/36cfaf81cc343ab858e892f7ccbb5039/trees/9d7d4301715a734deee39f8c8235fb6e.tma LuaTools | compiling files to c:/temp/luatex-cache/context/36cfaf81cc343ab858e892f7ccbb5039/trees/9d7d4301715a734deee39f8c8235fb6e.t mc LuaTools | preparing files in c:/temp/luatex-cache/context/36cfaf81cc343ab858e892f7ccbb5039/trees/e2b439093637a43a1e06dad11b9acfd4.t ma LuaTools | saving files in c:/temp/luatex-cache/context/36cfaf81cc343ab858e892f7ccbb5039/trees/e2b439093637a43a1e06dad11b9acfd4.tma LuaTools | compiling files to c:/temp/luatex-cache/context/36cfaf81cc343ab858e892f7ccbb5039/trees/e2b439093637a43a1e06dad11b9acfd4.t mc LuaTools | preparing files in c:/temp/luatex-cache/context/36cfaf81cc343ab858e892f7ccbb5039/trees/04ba8d80d787b2df2d374aa2eb175600.t ma LuaTools | saving files in c:/temp/luatex-cache/context/36cfaf81cc343ab858e892f7ccbb5039/trees/04ba8d80d787b2df2d374aa2eb175600.tma LuaTools | compiling files to c:/temp/luatex-cache/context/36cfaf81cc343ab858e892f7ccbb5039/trees/04ba8d80d787b2df2d374aa2eb175600.t mc LuaTools | preparing files in c:/temp/luatex-cache/context/36cfaf81cc343ab858e892f7ccbb5039/trees/30c7af0b47d2e1295ccf508a92e2b307.t ma LuaTools | saving files in c:/temp/luatex-cache/context/36cfaf81cc343ab858e892f7ccbb5039/trees/30c7af0b47d2e1295ccf508a92e2b307.tma LuaTools | compiling files to c:/temp/luatex-cache/context/36cfaf81cc343ab858e892f7ccbb5039/trees/30c7af0b47d2e1295ccf508a92e2b307.t mc ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
