  no, i'm still trying to get mkii and mkiv working at the same time with a

Or perhaps 2 completely different distributions?
mkii: frozen, only some fixes from time to time
mkiv: no more mkii files, no more pdftex, just pure mkiv


this can already be done (just install with the --engine=luatex flag)

the main issue is that mtxrun also replaces the ruby texmfstart script and
texexec is launched via mtxrun; so mtxrun needs to be able to deal with mkii
situations where kpse is used for lookups later on; as the installer uses
the --tree option, and as mkiv has an abstract notion of the texroot, some
hoops have to be jumped through to get it working for both machineries


You mentioned earlier that texexec could be replaced by mtxrun completely,
that only a bit is missing. Would this solve the problem?

it would solve the ruby dependency but pdftex/xetex need kpse
