A document to test texlive-scheme-context none

Description martti.huttunen72 2016-10-18 16:33:46 UTC 
Description of problem:

A clean install of texlive-scheme-context (or any other scheme I tried) does not work out of the box. It cannot compile any documents, since it cannot find the configuration files. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

texlive-base-2015-24.20150728_r37987.fc24.noarch
texlive-lib-2015-24.20150728_r37987.fc24.x86_64
texlive-kpathsea-svn37193.0-24.fc24.1.noarch

How reproducible:

100% on 3 machines, 2 with texlive upgrades, 1 with no previous texlive install.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install any scheme (I tried context and full)
2. Try compiling a document 
3. See the error in kpathsea paths

Actual results:

texmf.cnf not found in kpathsea path.

Expected results:

A compiled document.

Additional info:

I quick-fixed this with
ln -s /usr/share/texlive/texmf-* /usr/share/

So, the error is that in the default path the texlive directory is omitted; the path points to /usr/share/texmf-dist as opposed to the correct path /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist. Other components of the path have the same error.

Can you give me a specific path to reproduce this issue? I don't have any real experience working with texlive schemes.
Comment 2 martti.huttunen72 2016-10-19 16:48:00 UTC 
Created attachment 1212212 [details]
A document to test texlive-scheme-context

How to test:

dnf install texlive-scheme-context

tar xf context-document.tar

make

If it works, you get a PDF named Document.pdf.
Comment 3 Tom "spot" Callaway 2016-10-19 19:50:39 UTC 
*shakes fist at texlive* Okay. I think I know how to fix this without using /usr/share/texmf-dist.
