Hi,

I have a few questions about the teTeX3 import.
The first and main one is:

Why keep the old share/texmf (from teTeX2), when teTeX3 features a splitted=
 texmf.
The idea to split texmf in :
share/texmf for teTeX-bin files
share/texmf-dist for teTeX-texmf
and
shate/texmf-local for additional packages seems more flexible than the prev=
ious
one, particularly for texmf-local, which could be used for installing
additional packages without messing out with the main tetex distribution.

This could even allow to package newer versions of packages which are inclu=
ded
in tetex2 texmf tree (i'm thinking of latex-beamer).
We could also have a variable like LOCALTEXMF to help packages providing fi=
les
for texmf to install in the right place, instead of hardcoding it.
