[luatex] tlluatex-dev repository

[Norbert Preining]

Dear all,

to pay for my rant, I created a TL repository with the latest
luatex binaries that can be installed on x86-64 linux.

All normal formats are automatically generated, the program names
are
The binaries:
	luatex-dev, luajittex-dev
and the format programs
	luatex1
	lualatex1
	dviluatex1
	dvilualatex1
These are script files (NOT links to the binaries!) that do 
the following:
	luatex-dev -progname luatex -fmtname=... "$*"

With this, format creating and execution works, no further need to
switch

BUT WARNING!!! THere is one thing that needs to be done, due to
fmtutil ..

The formats are generated in
	TEXMFSYSVAR/web2c/luatex-dev/
The formats there need to be moved to
	TEXMFSYSVAR/web2c/luatex/

Another option is to link luatex-dev to luatex *BEFORE* installing
the package:
	ln -s TEXMFSYSVAR/web2c/luatex TEXMFSYSVAR/web2c/luatex-dev

After creating this symbolic (or hard) link, updates should work
automatically.

Binaries are currently only x64_64-linux, I might add more later.

Repository is at
	http://www.preining.info/tlluatex-dev/

Use
	tlmgr -repo ... install luatex-dev
or use the usual command to add another repository

All the best

Norbert
