Hello, I don't know, if I'm subscribed to this list, I've clicked the join-button some days ago, but I get no messages... So, I just hope, this message will find its way... ;) Some weeks ago, I switched from texlive to the minimals. Thanks for your work, it's *really* easy to install and works out of the box! Just some suggestions/ideas: Deleting obsolete files: rsync should get the option --delete, because sometimes files get obsolete (metapost binaries, MKII/MKIV reorganisation, renaming of files, font-files, etc) and should not stay in the directory tree. Just one exception: texmf-local. Beta or current: This should be switch for first-setup.sh Example: BETA= if [ "$1" = beta ]; then BETA=--context=beta shift fi mtxrun --verbose --script ./bin/mtx-update.lua --update --make --force --engine=all $BETA --tree=$PWD/tex "$@" cont-ext.zip: These modules should also be put into texmf-context (especially t-letter.tex). No environment variables besides PATH: Sometimes I use latex (via doxygen) from the standard texlive tree. After setuptex has been called, texlive won't work any more. My suggestion (I should probably post it to the luatex list!?): - no environment variables, setup is only in a texmf.lua file - luatex deduces from its parent directory, where to search the texmf.lua file, for example it just searches in LUATEX-DIR/../../texmf/web2c - same thing for MKII: just texmf.cnf instead of texmf.lua Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/
