Subject: Update overwrites configuration
Date: Mon, 24 Feb 2014 18:55:38 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAANrE7qXBxaZF0cDp8FuwFXOKr0BFP+0MdbQc7SQYu8QqeE3CQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hi,
1. Edit .../tex/texmf/web2c/texmfcnf.lua
2. Set TEXMFCACHE = "/var/cache/context/texmf-cache"
3. Run first-setup.sh to update ConTeXt.
Expected Results
TEXMFCACHE remains "/var/cache/context/texmf-cache"
Actual Results
TEXMFCACHE reverts to "$SELFAUTOPARENT/texmf-cache"
If the values have been changed, then:
(a) updates should not overwrite the new values;
(b) an option to prevent overwriting new values on upgrade should be available;
(c) user should be prompted to overwrite changed configuration values;
(d) user should be prompted to accept overwriting each new value; or
(e) a backup of the configuration file should be made, followed by a
message that the changes have been overwritten and previous values
archived.
