Hi all! On Fre, 12 Jan 2007, Mike Bird wrote:
I have uploaded new Debian packages for context/context-nonfree to tug.org and Debian.
1) I only see 2007.01.02-1 and 2007.01.02-2 when I browse http://www.tug.org/texlive/Debian/context/
Sorry, I forgot the rsync. Now the stuff is there. If you have the lines in sources.list the next update will bring it.
These packages provide a workaround for using new context with texlive in Debian, ie pdftex < 1.40 by creating a symlink /var/lib/texmf/web2c/pdftex -> /var/lib/texmf/web2c/pdfetex
2) FWIW, I've been using the context-2007.01.02-2 without that link. I wonder is it necessary?
No, it is NOT necessary for 2007.01.02 as those still use pdfetex as the
place where texexec puts the formats. This change was introduced between
02 and 10.
Best wishes
