kpsewhich could not find texfindpkg.json.gz file

[lvjr]

• [x] I have read the MiKTeX Contributing Guidelines

TeXFindPkg tool contains two files in scripts folder:

AppData\Local\Programs\MiKTeX\scripts\texfindpkg\texfindpkg.lua
AppData\Local\Programs\MiKTeX\scripts\texfindpkg\texfindpkg.json.gz

I could find texfindpkg.lua file with

kpsewhich texfindpkg.lua

but I can not find texfindpkg.json.gz file with

kpsewhich texfindpkg.json.gz

This causes error in running TeXFindPkg (see https://github.com/lvjr/texfindpkg/issues/6).

By the way, TeXLive puts texfindpkg.json.gz in latex folder:

texlive/2023/texmf-dist/tex/latex/texfindpkg/texfindpkg.json.gz

And I can find it with kpsewhich texfindpkg.json.gz. So I am not totally sure what is the correct location to put .json.gz files.

After moving texfindpkg.json.gz to C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Programs\MiKTeX\tex\latex\texfindpkg folder and refreshing filename database, kpsewhich could find it and TeXFindPkg runs well.

In Readme.md:

Package file	Where to install it
texfindpkg.1	TEXMF/doc/man/man1/texfindpkg.1
README.md	TEXMF/doc/support/texfindpkg/README.md
texfindpkg.lua	TEXMF/scripts/texfindpkg/texfindpkg.lua
texfindpkg.json.gz	TEXMF/scripts/texfindpkg/texfindpkg.json.gz
tfpbuild.lua	TEXMF/source/texfindpkg/tfpbuild.lua

So...

Yes, maybe it is my fault. I didn't know that kpsewhich could not find gz files in scripts folder but could find them in latex folder. This seems strange...

I believe this has been fixed and can be closed.
