For a usb stick install, it would be nice if there were no
hard-coded paths anywhere. A texmfcnf.lua with content
return {
TEXMFCACHE = kpse.var_value('TEXMFSYSVAR')
}
appears to be read but ignored. Moreover, the fndb lua files under
luatex-cache/context/xxx/trees contain hard-coded paths.
Is there any way to avoid hard-coded paths?

Isn't minimals path-aware ?
With setuptex I can put context wherever I want.

This is in the context of TeX Live. But I'll have a look at how
minimals does it.

This has been changed after the version of ConTeXt for TeX Live has
been frozen. So you would probably have to take a recent enough
version of ConTeXt (most probably even the version on tlcontrib is too
old, but at least it should not be too difficult to take the most
recent version just for testing).
You can have a look at
http://minimals.contextgarden.net/current/misc/web2c/texmfcnf.lua, but
you need a recent mtxrun for that.

Thanks for this information.
I installed instead the minimals, which do indeed avoid hard-coded
paths. I'll try to fix portability for Context in the next TeX Live
once this new version has become part of TeX Live.
