Hi Norbert,
Just now, I completed doing things which I told in previous message.
That was about create `texlive-core.fmts` and `texlive-core.maps` which
can be included in the Package and pull needed packages from CTAN. See
this[0].
I have some question when seeing what Archlinux does.
1. It makes symlinks for engine and symlinks in Windows means copying
the executable. Is that fine?
2. It install `texlive-core_${_rev}.pkgs`,`texlive-core.maps` and
`texlive-core.fmts` to `/var/lib/texmf/arch/installedpkgs`. What is so
special about `/var/lib/texmf/arch`? Can I change `/var/lib/texmf/arch`
to something like `/var/lib/texmf/msys2`? If this is something which Tex
Live expects that can it be configured using config files?
Other than these now I rather familiar with configuration now. I will
try testing once and see. Thanks.
