I normally do not use TL, but looked into it, and the texmfcnf.lua script
distributed with texlive does not look right. I am attaching the output of
mtxrun --generate that I get. Note the following liines:
resolvers | resolving | variable 'SELFAUTOLOC' set to '/usr/bin'
resolvers | resolving | variable 'SELFAUTODIR' set to '/usr'
resolvers | resolving | variable 'SELFAUTOPARENT' set to '.'
resolvers | resolving | variable 'TEXMFCNF' set to ''
resolvers | resolving | variable 'TEXMF' set to ''
resolvers | resolving | variable 'TEXOS' set to '/usr'
....
resolvers | resolving | found configuration file
'/usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmfcnf.lua'
....
resolvers | resolving | loading configuration file
'selfautodir:/share/texmf/web2c/texmfcnf.lua'
...
Now, the /usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmfcnf.lua file says:
TEXMFSYSVAR = "selfautoparent:texmf-var",
TEXMFVAR = "home:.texlive2012/texmf-var",
....
TEXMFMAIN = "selfautoparent:texmf",
TEXMFDIST = "selfautoparent:texmf-dist",
....
Note from the mtxrun that selfautoparent is set to '', therefore,
TEXMFMAIN is set to 'texmf' and TEXMFDIST is set to 'texmf-dist'. And
therefore, `mtxrun --generate` is not scanning the right trees, therefore
does not build a cache of the right trees, and consequently, cannot find
mtx-context.lua.
To check my theory, I followed the following steps:
1. Create a directory ~/mytexmfcnf and copied the texmfcnf.lua file from
/usr/share/texmf/web2c/ to this directory.
2. Open ~/mytexmfcnf/texmfcnf.lua and change
%s/selfautoparent:/\/usr\/share\/
3. Run
TEXMFCNF=~/mytexmfcnf mtxrun --generate
4. Run
TEXMFCNF=~/mytexmfcnf context --version
which then gives
mtx-context | ConTeXt Process Management 0.52
mtx-context |
mtx-context | main context file:
/usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/context.mkiv
mtx-context | current version: 2012.05.30 11:26
So I wonder how does context (MkIV) work at all with TL2012!
