How to report the --output-directory bug on pdflatex/latexmk on Tex Live?



Announcing the arrival of Valued Associate #679: Cesar Manara
Planned maintenance scheduled April 17/18, 2019 at 00:00UTC (8:00pm US/Eastern)I can't write on file 'foo.aux'












0















As already reported on this other question I can't write on file 'foo.aux', when:




  1. Using the --output-directory option of both pdflatex and latexmk

  2. Using Tex Live 2017 on Linux


The output directories are not created, i.e., if my directory structure is the following:




  1. thesis/beforetext

  2. thesis/aftertext

  3. thesis/chapters


And I use the option latexmk or pdflatex --output-directory=cache, the following directories are not going to be created by latexmk or pdflatex and the compilation will fail with the errors I can't write on file 'thesis/cache/chapters/chapter1.aux'.



While running pdflatex or latexmk on Windows 10 with MiKTeX-TeX 2.9.6300 everything works fine and the directories thesis/cache/chapters, etc are going to be created correctly and automatically by Miktex.



This only does not work on Linux with TeX 3.14159265 (TeX Live 2017/Debian).



Can I report this nasty bug for TeX Live on Linux somewhere?



Or this is an indented behavior for TeX Live on Linux?



Or is this already reported?
