If you install extra fonts and files, you should put them in

I guess the same applies to /tex/texmf-local?
And how is that with tex/texmf-modules? I am asking because there is also a modules directory: context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/modules It would be nice if I safely can put my modules there instead of burying them somewhere else in the trees.
If you put files under texmf-context, they will be removed automatically with next update. You can install official modules with "--modules=t-tikz" for example and those will stay. But if you want your own unrelated modules, you should not use texmf-modules unless you remove the "--delete" flag for rsync (but then you'll end up with other obsolete files). The trees texmf-local, texmf-fonts, texmf-projects are all fine. Mojca
