Has install-tl changed behavior recently (e.g., past two weeks) in terms of how TEXMF configurations are set? Could someone point me to a change log?
I have a script that does something like the following:
------
# download install-tl.tar.gz
cd install-tl-*
./install-tl
------
If I run this script with sudo, I get the following:
$ /usr/local/texlive/2022/bin/x86_64-linux/kpsewhich -var-value TEXMFHOME
/root/texmf
I'm not sure, but I think the output in this case (even when the script was run with sudo) used to be: /home/<my user name>/texmf.
I'm guessing this change of behavior was intended since when the script is run with sudo $HOME is indeed /root, but I just wanted to double-check.
Thanks to everyone for their work on TeX Live!
