I played a bit with the newly made binaries and was surprised to see
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159-1.00b-pretest-20020211 (Web2C 7.3.7)
(Fatal format file error; I'm stymied)
The problem relates to texmf.cnf in source.development:
- building process creates texmf-var, but not texmf-local
- formats are loaded to texmf-var (as they should)
- texmf.cnf doesn't use texmf-var in TEXMF tree:
TEXMF = {$HOMETEXMF,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFMAIN}
ergo, old formats from TEXMFMAIN are used instead.
Either loading new formats to texmf-local, or defining and using texmf-var
(i.e. VARTEXMF) for new .fmt files (which I prefer :-) would solve it.
Comments?
