updating tex-common for new texlive texmf.cnf
Hi all,
if someone can find time for updating tex-common's texmf.cnf snippets
for the new TeX Live 2008 texmf.cnf that would be great. I attach the
version we have currently in tl.
Best wishes
Norbert

--- Douglas Adams, The Meaning of Liff
% original texmf.cnf -- runtime path configuration file for kpathsea.
% Public domain.
%
% If you modify this original file, YOUR CHANGES WILL BE LOST when it is
% updated. Instead, put your changes -- and only your changes, not an
% entire copy of the full texmf.cnf! -- in ../../texmf.cnf. That is, if
% this file is installed in /some/path/to/texlive/2008/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf,
% add your custom settings to /some/path/to/texlive/2008/texmf.cnf.
%
% What follows is a super-summary of what this .cnf file can
% contain. Please read the Kpathsea manual for more information.
%
% Any identifier (sticking to A-Za-z_ for names is safest) can be assigned.
% The `=' (and surrounding spaces) is optional.
% $foo (or ${foo}) in a value expands to the envvar or cnf value of foo.
%
% Earlier entries (in the same or another file) override later ones, and
% an environment variable foo overrides any texmf.cnf definition of foo.
%
% All definitions are read before anything is expanded, so you can use
% variables before they are defined.
%
% If a variable assignment is qualified with `.PROGRAM', it is ignored
% unless the current executable (last filename component of argv[0]) is
% named PROGRAM. This foo.PROGRAM construct is not recognized on the
% right-hand side. For environment variables, use FOO_PROGRAM.
%
% Which file formats use which paths for searches is described in the
% various programs' and the kpathsea documentation.
%
% // means to search subdirectories (recursively).
% A leading !! means to look only in the ls-R db, never on the disk.
% In this file, either ; or : can be used to separate path components.
% A leading/trailing/doubled path separator in the paths will be
% expanded into the compile-time default. Probably not what you want.
%
% You can use brace notation, for example: /usr/local/{mytex,othertex}
% expands to /usr/local/mytex:/usr/local/othertex. Instead of the comma
% you can use the path separator: /usr/local/{mytex:othertex} also expands
% to /usr/local/mytex:/usr/local/othertex.
% Part 1: Search paths and directories.
% You can set an environment variable to override TEXMF if you're testing
% a new TeX tree, without changing anything else.
%
% You may wish to use one of the $SELFAUTO... variables here so TeX will
% find where to look dynamically. See the manual and the definition
% below of TEXMFCNF.
% The tree containing the runtime files closely related to the specific
% program version used:
TEXMFMAIN = $SELFAUTOPARENT/texmf
% The main distribution tree:
TEXMFDIST = $SELFAUTOPARENT/texmf-dist
% Our documentation-only tree, arranged by language:
TEXMFDOC = $SELFAUTOPARENT/texmf-doc
% A place for local additions to a "standard" texmf tree.
% This tree is not used for local configuration maintained by
% texconfig, it uses TEXMFCONFIG below.
TEXMFLOCAL = $SELFAUTOPARENT/../texmf-local
% TEXMFSYSVAR, where texconfig-sys stores variable runtime data.
% With teTeX-3.0 or later, this must be set.
% For sharing this tree with $TEXMFMAIN:
% TEXMFSYSVAR = $TEXMFMAIN
% For using a separate tree:
% TEXMFSYSVAR = $SELFAUTOPARENT/texmf-var
TEXMFSYSVAR = $SELFAUTOPARENT/texmf-var
% TEXMFSYSCONFIG, where texconfig-sys stores configuration data.
% With teTeX-3.0 or later, this must be set.
% For sharing this tree with $TEXMFMAIN:
% TEXMFSYSCONFIG = $TEXMFMAIN
% For using a separate tree:
% TEXMFSYSCONFIG = $SELFAUTOPARENT/texmf-config
TEXMFSYSCONFIG = $SELFAUTOPARENT/texmf-config
% User texmf trees are allowed as follows.
% This used to be HOMETEXMF.
TEXMFHOME = ~/texmf
% TEXMFVAR, where texconfig stores variable runtime data.
% With teTeX-3.0 or later, this must be set.
% For sharing this tree with $TEXMFMAIN:
% TEXMFVAR = $TEXMFMAIN
% For using a separate tree:
% TEXMFVAR = ~/.texmf-var # teTeX 3.0 default
TEXMFVAR = ~/.texlive2008/texmf-var
% TEXMFCONFIG, where texconfig stores configuration data.
% With teTeX-3.0 or later, this must be set.
% For sharing this tree with $TEXMFMAIN:
% TEXMFCONFIG = $TEXMFMAIN
% For using a separate tree:
% TEXMFCONFIG = ~/.texmf-config # teTeX 3.0 default
% For using a separate tree:
% TEXMFCONFIG = $SELFAUTOPARENT/texmf-config
TEXMFCONFIG = ~/.texlive2008/texmf-config
% Now, list all the texmf trees. If you have multiple trees you can
% use shell brace notation, like this:
% TEXMF = {$TEXMFHOME,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFMAIN}
% The braces are necessary.
%
% For texconfig to work properly, TEXMFCONFIG and TEXMFVAR should be named
% explicitly and before all other trees.
%
% TEXMFLOCAL follows TEXMFMAIN (and precedes TEXMFDIST) because the only
% files in TEXMFMAIN are tightly coupled with the particular version of
% the distribution, such as format files. Overriding them would be more
% likely to cause trouble than help. On the other hand, all the
% standard packages and fonts are in TEXMFDIST, and locally-installed
% versions should take precedence over those (although it is generally a
% source of confusion to have different versions of a package installed,
% whatever the trees, so try to avoid it).
TEXMF = {$TEXMFCONFIG,$TEXMFVAR,$TEXMFHOME,!!$TEXMFSYSCONFIG,!!$TEXMFSYSVAR,!!$TEXMFMAIN,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFDIST}
% The system trees. These are the trees that are shared by all the users.
% If a tree appears in this list, the mktex* scripts will use
% VARTEXFONTS for generated files, if the original tree isn't writable;
% otherwise the current working directory is used.
SYSTEXMF = $TEXMFSYSVAR;$TEXMFMAIN;$TEXMFLOCAL;$TEXMFDIST
% Where generated fonts may be written. This tree is used when the sources
% were found in a system tree and either that tree wasn't writable, or the
% varfonts feature was enabled in MT_FEATURES in mktex.cnf.
VARTEXFONTS = $TEXMFVAR/fonts
% Where to look for ls-R files. There need not be an ls-R in the
% directories in this path, but if there is one, Kpathsea will use it.
% By default, this is only the !! elements of TEXMF, plus texmf-doc, so
% that mktexlsr does not create ls-R files in the non-!! elements --
% because if an ls-R is present, it will be used, and the disk will not
% be searched. This is arguably a bug in kpathsea, but we will not
% think about it now.
%
TEXMFDBS = {!!$TEXMFSYSCONFIG,!!$TEXMFSYSVAR,!!$TEXMFMAIN,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFDIST,!!$TEXMFDOC}
% On some systems, there will be a system tree which contains all the font
% files that may be created as well as the formats. For example
% TEXMFVAR = /var/lib/texmf
% is used on many Linux systems. In this case, set VARTEXFONTS like this
% VARTEXFONTS = $TEXMFVAR/fonts
% and do not mention it in TEXMFDBS (but _do_ mention TEXMFVAR).
%
% Remove $VARTEXFONTS from TEXMFDBS if the VARTEXFONTS directory is below
% one of the TEXMF directories (avoids overlapping ls-R files).
