Hi, something must have changed in the very recent release candidates. My old recipe to add my own format files doesn't work anymore. Here's what I am doing
I have appended lines like ETeX pdfetex language.def -translate-file=cp227.tcx *ETeX.ini to fmtutil.cnf and I have created corresponding ETeX.ini files in share/texmf/tex/plain/config now fmtutil --missing does not create the new (missing) formats anymore. But if I cd to share/texmf/web2c and do pdfetex -ini -jobname=ETeX '*ETeX.ini' the format gets created. What am I missing?
