For the first step to luatex, I tried to use luatools as written in  
Hans Hagen's MK manual.

1. Compiled a recent luatex and it was put in "/usr/texbin/luatex" and  
linked to "/usr/texbin/texlua".

2. Downloaded the current beta and construct my "$HOME/share/texmf- 
context".
    Of course, the line in /usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf/web2c/ 
texmf.cnf was changed as follows.

TEXMFHOME=$HOME/share/texmf-hyperref;$HOME/share/texmf-lm;$HOME/share/ 
texmf-context

3. Made a new "/usr/texbin/luatools" to use luatools.lua directly. The  
contents of the file was

#!/bin/sh
export SELFAUTOLOC=/usr/local/texlive/2007/bin
export SELFAUTODIR=/usr/local/texlive/2007
export SELFAUTOPARENT=/usr/local/texlive/2007
export TEXMFCACHE="$HOME/share"
texlua "$HOME/share/texmf-context/scripts/context/lua/luatools.lua" "$@"

4. Finally tried "luatools --generate" and it seemed that everything  
went smoothly.
    But I found that luatools did not cache the $TEXMFHOME directories  
because
    it consisted of more than one TEXMF directories. It's not a bug  
but here is a patch
    to solve this problem.

--- luatools.lua        2008-05-26 07:36:20.000000000 +0900
+++ luatools.lua.new    2008-05-26 07:59:17.000000000 +0900

$","%1"),",")) do

              t[#t+1] = (v:gsub("^[%!]*(.+)[%/\\]*$","%1"))
          end
          return t

5. Now tried "luatools cmr10.tfm" but no anwer. However "luatools  
cmr10.tfm*" showed
    the proper answer. It seems that this problem is related to the  
behavior of
    "luatools --ini plain" which says "LuaTools | no tex file with  
name plain.tex".

Is there something what I missed?

Best regards, ChoF.
