[NTG-context] Luatex installation
I have read the instructions for installing luatex on MacOSX so clearly spelt out by Thomas Schmitz, but they leave a question open. Thomas advises to set TEXMFCACHE=/tmp with the argument that it then is cleared each time the computer is restarted. What is unclear to me if this means that on each restart some explicit reinitialzation has to be done or are the data in TEXMFCACHE suitable candidates for thrashing at all times?
