I would just like to clarify my previous post. If I set TEXMFHOME to
$HOME/Library/texmf by using install-tl.sh's menus (d 4) then texmf.cnf
is changed accordingly. However, if prior to running install-tl (sudo -H
sh install-tl.sh) I set TEXLIVE_INSTALL_TEXMFHOME='$HOME/Library/texmf' by
export TEXLIVE_INSTALL_TEXMFHOME='$HOME/Library/texmf'
then install-tl.sh's d menu correctly reports $HOME/Library/texmf as the
value of TEXMFHOME, but texmf.cnf is NOT changed during the installation
phase, so it ends up with its default value $HOME/texmf.
Hope this helps,
Artemio
