Re: destination of tex files

[Mojca M. <moj...@gm...>]

Dear list,

I filed a bug report on
    http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3401370&group_id=2055&atid=102055
and also explained what would have to be done instead.

Please fix this weird functionality. It works fine for Ethan, but only
because of some "cheating":
    sed "s%^.*share/%$TEXDIR/share/%"
In general this replacement is not applied (not everyone uses "share"
for texlive). The worst point is that it doesn't even work on default
TeX Live installation.

Thank you,
    Mojca
