Subject: [dev-context] TEXMFHOME and the file database
Hi,

I tried to set up a TEXMFHOME directory for on-the-fly additions to
the TeX tree. I'm working with the 2008.05.27 beta of MKIV, i.e. there
are no setuptex scripts, environment variables and the like, just
texmf.cnf and texmfcnf.lua in texmf/web2c. I've modified the former
according to:

---

[...]

%HOMETEXMF = /nonexist
TEXMFHOME = $HOME/Library/texmf
TEXMF = {$TEXMFHOME,!!$TEXMFPROJECT,!!$TEXMFFONTS,!!
$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFCONTEXT,!!$TEXMFEXTRA,!!$TEXMFMAIN}

[...]

---

Now LuaTeX only recognizes files put into $TEXMFHOME after the file
database has been regenerated via

bash# luatools --generate --verbose

However, I would like LuaTeX to find these files without the need for
rehashing just as if they were in the current working directory. What
am I missing?

Best wishes,
Oliver
