Hi Hans,
Line 27725 of mtxrun.lua currently says
-- retry after generate but only if --autogenerate
if fullname == "" and environment.argument("autogenerate") then -- might
become the default
I've tested changing this to
if fullname == "" and true then
and this seems to solve all of the
mtxrun | unknown script 'mtx-context.lua' or 'mtx-mtx-context.lua'
errors in TeX Live that have been reported recently. Do you have any
opposition to me making this change in TL? Or even better, would you
consider making this change yourself in the upstream version?
I can add:
local autogenerate = false
With:
if fullname == "" and (autogenerate or
environment.argument("autogenerate") or
os.getenv("mtxrun.autogenerate")) then
But just changing that now .. I really need to check the implications of
such a change of a default. I'm pretty sure that if I'd made it default,
the opposite would have be requested. So we'd need a --noautogenerate then.
So, I'll think about it (and maybe try it out in an intermediate update
before deciding).
Hans
