Re: Installing xetex from SVN alongside texlive_2007-14

If you only need a new xetex binary, just compile one and put it into
/usr/bin/xetex (keeping a backup of the old one).

It should find the /usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf file and work from
that on completely normal.

Then there are updates to the packages, you should preferably put into
TEXMFLOCAL

Best wishes
