It won't solve the issue during regression testing, because the regression tests use the entire context tree as of a certain date (a tex version of chroot). That includes using the ruby scripts from that version. That's why I made the run-it.py wrapper despite knowing that you would fix the texexec return code :-)
sure, makes much sense
I thought about the pros and cons of running the latest texexec using the old macros, which would mean not needing the run-it.py wrapper. I don't think it's worth it. A document is produced by the whole system of scripts + ConTeXt macros (+ pdftex, but it cannot so easily be downgraded/upgraded automatically...). So we should test the whole system (i.e. including the old scripts) rather than just the macros.
no, wrappers make sense Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
