[By Werner Fink, who does also the normal openSUSE packages.] The question is how the ConTeXt with LuaTeX should be best handled. By default, there is no luatex-cache and no (luatex) format. Of cause a user can do: export TEXMFCNF=/usr/share/texmf/web2c # export TEXMFCACHE=somewhere luatools --generate --verbose luatools --ini --compile cont-en but in principle I would expect that the distribution does this already, which saves the TEXMFCACHE per user and makes "texexec --lua" working without requiring to run first all the other commands. Questions: a) Is the TEXMFCNF environment variable necessary or can this also be read by a config file, which is overwritten by the environment variable? Which scripts/executables make use of that environemt variable? b) Is is possible -- as with kpsewhich -- to have a global cache for the format + global directories - and local directories which have then a higher precedence? I mean like: A global directory cache incl. the format files plus if the user creates a $HOME/texmf tree a user $TEXMFCACHE which contains the hashes of the user directory but such that luatex still finds the formats in the global directory?
