When I update my minimal via the script first-setup.sh new files in the directory /tex/texmf-context/tex/context/user are deleted. If I understand the name correct, then the script should keep files in this directory Herbert

don't use texmf or texmf-context for that; put user files in texmf-local or texmf-project Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Yes, but I agree that existing files should still not be deleted. Either that, or /user should not be present at all. The auto- removal is confusing. Best wishes, Taco

I don't think so. One can end in a mixed minimals which is really a mess. -- luigi
