I installed
texlive
as usual in /usr/local/texlive/2025
. When installing I typed umask 0027
prior to each command (./configure
, make
...), hoping that the resulting files would have root
as owner
and me
as group
with the same rights to access, read and change the files.
Nevertheless, when updating texlive
(sudo tlmgr --self --all --no-auto-remove update
), the owner becomes root
, the group
becomes root
instead of ME
, and I neither can use commands like luatex
nor the .sty
files etc., as they're owned by root.
So, each time I update texlive
via tlmgr
I have to change owner
and group
manually for all files in \textlive\2025
.
What can I do to set owner=root
and user=ME
for all files newly created and changed with sudo tlmgr ...
in the future?
