It seems the code around this has changed a little bit...enough to cause a problem. It was always a bug to copy this to the master buffer, it seems to me, but for some reason there was a totally different bug in 2.2.x that caused the copy not to happen. The fact that your style file was in a subdirectory caused prepareFileNameForLaTeX and makeAbsPath together to return the wrong path: /home/.../include/include/IEEEtranN_jak.bst There's an extra "include/", so the file isn't found, so the copy never happens. The reason is that the path to the file is calculated from its own Buffer, not from the parent Buffer, and this Buffer is in include/ itself. But in 2.3.0, it's calculated from the masterBuffer. This same bug exists in Buffer::prepareBibFilePaths and in InsetBibtex::getBibTeXPath. They also return a path with the extra "include/". So now I HOPE Jürgen will know what to do. It seems quite unclear to me how to deal with this. We need to know which Buffer is really being compiled to know where to copy these files. Riki PS Not a biblatex issue but a general bibtex issue.
