As for the location, I would advise to use other directory than `$where-context-is-installed/tex/texmf-context/`. Two options:1. `$where-context-is-installed/tex/texmf-local/`. 2. `$HOME/texmf/texmf-local/`. So, are you suggesting that if I place the bibliography specification files (publ-imp-smp.{lua/mkvi}) in the 'texmf-local' directory, that they will be automatically recognized at compile time? Or, so I need to specify that location as a path to search for specification files?
texmf-local, texmf-project and ~/texmf aren’t touched by any update, and the file database is updated on update, so your files will be found.
~/texmf (AKA $HOMETEXMF) is not indexed but searched on every run, but it’s available to several parallel installations, while you would need to copy or symlink the other trees – decide what makes sense for you.
