Hi Ed, thanks for your hard work. The update went well for me, but i had to use an obj-directory outside of /usr (the build takes quite a bit of disk space), and had to deinstall texlive 2015 before installing the new packages with `make install-all`. Regarding texlive, there are some problems with lualatex and some of the packages that ship with texlive 2016, e.g. typearea, which is needed by all KOMA classes like scrartcl. The package has a bug in version 3.20 [1], which breaks compilation (lualatex only) and got fixed upstream with version 3.21. I found similar problems with the datetime [2] and standalone [3] packages, and there are probably more. A workaround exists, namely including the luatex85 package before these packages [4]. Most of the fallout should have been fixed upstream, but i guess there is no way to include updated packages from CTAN in the texlive package? Anyway, lualatex is still considered beta and version 1.0 will be released with texlive 2017, and i guess that things will just work by then -- so maybe it's ok to ignore this issue for now or just point to the workaround. Downloading newer packages to a local texmf should also work.
