No worries.

Hrm. So what you are saying is the set of files excluded before in update_plist_hints.py is a superset of what the corresponding `UPDATE_PLIST_ARGS += -t ...` stuff excludes. In light of that, I wonder if it would be better to remove the `UPDATE_PLIST_ARGS += -t ...` stuff from texmf/Makefile, and have update_plist_hints.py be the source of truth for what to filter out. That way we'd have the logic in one place. I just tried the following: - applied your most recent diff. - comment out all the `UPDATE_PLIST_ARGS += -t ...` stuff in Makefile - revert update_plist_hints.py to get the old exlusion logic back. - `make update-plist` No new files creep in from (e.g.) ps2eps, psutils, asymptote, etc. That's a good thing. Is this because update-plist will not include files that are commented in the hints file? e.g.: ``` #share/texmf-dist/asymptote/CAD.asy -full #share/texmf-dist/asymptote/animate.asy -full #share/texmf-dist/asymptote/animation.asy -full ... ``` Cheers -- Best Regards Edd Barrett https://www.theunixzoo.co.uk
