I am not sure how this has evolved but L3 is always a mess for me. I wrote
a bunch of kpse scripts so that whenever I change into some project directory
it plays with the variables so I can put my own versions on the part first or
append others ,
( these either prepend, prp , or postpend, pop and dir to the vars ),
lroot="/home/documents/latex"
fover="$lroot/share/overrides/"
# add the local dir first to pickup subdirs
fover=". $fover"
flocalmiss="$lroot/share/includes/"
flocalmiss="$flocalmiss $lroot/share/content/"
flocalmiss="$flocalmiss $lroot/pkg/"
echo setting BIBINPUTS TEXINPUTS BSTINPUTS
. kpse_util prp BIBINPUTS $lroot/bib/
for over in $fover
do
. kpse_util prp TEXINPUTS $over
. kpse_util prp BSTINPUTS $over
. kpse_util prp BIBINPUTS $over
done
for localmiss in $flocalmiss
do
. kpse_util pop TEXINPUTS $localmiss
. kpse_util pop BSTINPUTS $localmiss
. kpse_util pop BIBINPUTS $localmiss
done
Looking at one of those directories,
find ../../share/overrides -type d
../../share/overrides
../../share/overrides/source
../../share/overrides/source/latex
../../share/overrides/source/latex/l3kernel
../../share/overrides/doc
../../share/overrides/doc/latex
../../share/overrides/doc/latex/l3kernel
../../share/overrides/tex
../../share/overrides/tex/latex
../../share/overrides/tex/latex/l3kernel
It looks like mostly or all L3 although I thought I
had finally fixed this and just had some problems
with siunits or similar.
Anyway, you may be able to figure it out looking
at the various kpse variables...
I'm hoping some one knows however what finally
happened with L3...
