Hi,
I hope that Mojca does not get too fed up after this change -)
It was me who was asking for the "troubles" anyway :) :) :) So I'm the
last one who should be complaining.
actually, you asked for other troubles, some of which already were
covered a while ago, these root relocation related are my troubles so
you can blame me (afaik no one ever asked for it so it can even stay
undocumented).
However here are two settings I'm not sure about (I didn't test them,
I only looked at them):
TEXMFOS = "selfautodir:",
should work ok, just resolves to $SELFAUTODIR but at runtime only (not
in stored files)
Let's assume that somebody installs binaries on USB stick for three
different platforms. mtxrun --generate will then alway create the
database into the same folder for all three different platforms.
TEXMFHOME = "home:texmf",
idem, so one can use a differen home, this is somewhat more dangerous
indeed as:
Let's assume that there are two users using the minimals (it probably
won't happen for minimals, but it might happen for TeX Live). Will the
database overwrite each other's data? (On the other hand the home
folder is not supposed to generate the database at all ...)
right, so normally it's harmless
