This has stictly no relevance *hrbre* LaTeX, but I hope you wouldn't mind.

I installed Sivan's hebrew package at /usr/local/share/texmf. (I hope it is a
sane place).
I would like this package to come *before* anything else by default.
I tried to edit /usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf and have there
        TEXMFLOCAL = /usr/local/share/texmf
and
        TEXMF = {!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFMAIN}
        SYSTEXMF = $TEXMF
in that order.

However both LaTeX and kpsewhich select files from /usr/share/texmf// even
though files with that name appear in /usr/local.

How should it be done? Having each user set her own TEXMF works fine. I am not
looking for that workaround.

Thanks,

Dan.
