Thanks! I vaguely remembered getting a bit of mixed messages with regards to the two last year when I was looking into Tectonic. I just read a bit into the github issues and it seems like the Tectonic devs happened to fork Xelatex and not Lualatex. https://github.com/tectonic-typesetting/tectonic/issues/158#...

Anyway, what they made works perfectly for me, I luckily don't use any of the fancy graphics packages that use Lua. I use Latex a few times a year at most, and Tectonic just works for me. With my previous Lualatex workflow I had to deal with Tlmgr and that whole ant's nest, figuring out one by one which packages I was missing each recompile.

Seems like the main argument against Xetex in the article you linked is that it is unmaintainted, so it doesn't really apply to Tectonic, but it's a bit frustrating that an opportunity for ecosystem convergence potentially has been missed.

Honest question: why do you prefer lualatex to xetex?

Great post! Is the GitHub project also still available?

Same. Another amazing one I played in those days was zatacka / achtung die kurwe. So funny how we were able to pack 5 people on one laptop keyboard back in those days.

Wouldn't the attacker need to breach your git server first before that was leaked?

I had Rosetta well before I ran into these issues, I think Homebrew still required it when I got the computer.

Before I figured out the way to identify the offending dependencies I sorted the issue through signing the executable with codesign, in a way that required me to disable part of SIP. So the code was working, it was just not being allowed to run.

I've been having issues with non-cask Homebrew packages getting blocked by some Gatekeeper/SIP related watchdog on my new M1 system. Stuff would just get insta-killed at load. Anyway, it seems to have been sorted now, and through identifying which packages were having the issue in Console and reinstalling them, I've resolved the issues.
