Bug#594743: texlive-binaries: pdftex slow to generate sources when $HOME contains a trailing "/".



Hi Frank,

When parsing texmf.cnf (or its built-in paths, if $HOME expansion might
take place there?), it should treat the variable $HOME special and
remove the trailing slash

Yes.

The change would have to be somewhere in expand.c - but I have to get up
early tomorrow and don't have time to dig into this.

Probably in variable.c, but why not discuss that with Karl ... it would
be much better to ask his opinion first before we start to digress
in Debian to something which will not be implemented upstream. I dont
want different behaviour.

Norbert
