I believe a guide would help. It's always good to have a definitive, specific source of information (say, manpages) and a more contextual one (detailed examples on a blog, for example). I would use it for sure, as I'm in the process of setting up TeXlive 2009. But I don't know how practical it would be to keep both installation. You would have to differentiate the names from both install to make them in your path at the same time? Or a "switch" variable to trigger the newer or older install. This would be easier to do. The way I'm going to go right now is install full TeXlive 2009 packages from standard install. Then try to make them work by default, adjusting path variables and such. If it works well, I'll keep this default installation (and possibly remove old TeXlive 2007) and if it causes too many issues I'll settle on using TeXlive 2007 for now, maybe copying key new contents to its tree if I'm missing a feature I want. <BR>

I thought it was about time I updated from my Ubuntu-repository version
of TeXLive 2007 to 2009, as I'm really missing out and use XeLaTeX
regularly. I downloaded the latest ISO image of 2009 and installed it at
/opt/texlive/2009/. Ideally, I want 2009 to be in my texmf-local tree
with the repository remaining as texmf-main as the fallback. I've tried
playing around with the path variables, editing ~/.bashrc and
/etc/profile, but kpathsea seems lost. With XeLaTeX, I get:
This is XeTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.2-0.9995.2 (TeX Live 2009)
kpathsea: Running mktexfmt xelatex.fmt
fmtutil: config file `fmtutil.cnf' not found.
I can't find the format file `xelatex.fmt'!
I'm sure I've just overlooked something here, and misdirected the whole
setup. It looks like my suggestion of a guide for updating would be more
useful than I thought!
Any thoughts, suggestions?
Gareth.
