Problems with some packages

[jwbos]

Let's list here some packages which cause problems in combination with lualatex with options --safer and --no-no-shel-escape

Not looked much into this yet, one of the papers *crypto/350) loads the minted package which attempts to create imapes through a shell escape mechanism which is not compatible:

safer option set, function "os.execute" is disabled[\directlua]:1: attempt to concatenate a nil value (local 'msg'). \ShellEscape@Lua ...or "") .. "\string \n ") end }

l.23 \RequirePackage{minted}[2021/12/24]

I noticed from tches2022_3/4 that fontawesome5 cannot be run under lualatex --safer because it tries to generate the tfm files on the fly using forbidden commands.

paper tches2022_3/43 fails because it uses epstopdf, and that tries to generate pdf files from eps files on the fly, but it fails because of --safer, which prevents executing io.open calls in lualatex.

I've started a publicly documented list of excluded packages because they rely upon \write18. This includes things like minted.
