This is a problem we discussed in Bohinj, and it's good that you remind
us of its existence - we need to take a decision about this. The file
which defines the texmf-paths for the minimals on Unixoid systems is
~/context/tex/setuptex. If you look into it, you'll see on l. 143
export HOMETEXMF=/nonexist
Hans explained that he didn't want to have HOMETEXMF set on his machine.
Unfortunately, many users will expect HOMETEXMF to work with the minimal
installation. The normal place for it is ~/texmf (Alan, you should move
it out of ~/Library). So what can we do? Hans, is there any workaround
for you? Most users will be as baffled as Alan when the stuff they have
installed in their personal trees isn't found. Personally, I have set up
all my stuff in a personal .miniluatex file which I source whenever I
want to run context, but I don't know how this would work with TeXShop.
IMHO, the normal ~/texmf should be included out of the box. What do
others think - Mojca?
hm, needs thinking (also because we then need to cache the home path)
i have no time now to test this
