Hi,
As Alan wrote, it seems there are continuous problems with both the minimals and the context mkiv distribution currently. Is there anything I myself can do to help out?
I fixed texmf.cnf (sorry, I fell asleep yesterday), but I cannot do anything about mkiv bugs before we start supporting falling back to arbitrary ConTeXt version. What about the following possibility? We could set up some repository (whatever - svn/git/anything) with all the versions, including all experimental and beta versions. Those users that would need it could place a copy into texmf-local and switch between ConTeXt versions arbitrary. A script on server could commit versions to that repository. I have a feeling that somebody on the list already has such a repository, but even if we start from scratch that should be OK. I could have start storing all the experimental versions, full-blown, on the server, but that would be a killing consumer of space, most probably adding some 100MB on the server every day. (Another option to explore is Hans' proposal which probably needs some tools on user side.) Mojca
