The texdistmgr
tool and modern TeXDist design
A named texdistmgr
allows to run a command in the context of a given distribution.
It provides an interface to the TeX Distribution structures.
The script Basic functions are listing and running commands. E.g.
texdistmgr execute -d gwTeX -c "kpsewhich fmtutil.cnf"
will run the "kpsewhich fmtutil.cnf
" command with the gwTeX distribution, while
texdist --texdist=TeXLive-2013 "kpsewhich fmtutil.cnf"
will do the same with the TeX Live 2013 distribution. See "texdistmgr -h
" for complete and up to date instructions...
texdistmgr
is available as part of the texdist preference bundle and is symlinked from /usr/local/bin/texdistmgr
or at least ~/Library/TeX/Distributions/bin/texdistmgr
.
The TeXDist2 directory structure and use are explained in a note from G. Wierda.
