Though no sudo is mentioned, and the path is reported writable, so maybe I'm misinterpreting.</span><br style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: AgmenaPro-Regular; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;"><br style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: AgmenaPro-Regular; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: AgmenaPro-Regular; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; float: none; display: inline !important;">On the Mac luaotfload-tool has always used TEXMFVAR, not TEXMFSYSVAR, as far as I can remember. Is there something different on the Linux and/or Windows TL setups, which would cause TEXMFSYSVAR to be used on them by default? I can't remember where, but I think I read somewhere these last few days that luaotfload gives precedence to TEXMFSYSVAR over TEXMFVAR when a cache is present in both, as a way to allow the sharing of setups between computers.</span><br style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: AgmenaPro-Regular; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;"></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I think if you own SELFAUTOPARENT/..
