But at least ConTeXt (only the ruby version) now works with MikTeX 2.5.
Miktex's website says that 2.5 is scheduled to be released in June 2006. It is already at beta 8. If context works fine with 2.5 beta, is it really worth the effort to add additional support for 2.4?
I guess that "decay half time" of MikTeX 2.4 will be approximately a year or two, but no: since the things didn't work until now anyway, it wouldn't hurt much if they don't start working in the future. If things could be settled up to work properly in 2.5, this would already be a big step forward.
ok, then let's focus on 2.5 Christian Schenk will use the texmfstart.exe that i can make here, so we can assume texmfstart to take care of thing. I can also generate binaries for the other scripts. (if you have exerb on your system you can do that too) What is needed for 2.5? Your mentioned patch? (/the problem in 2.4 is probably related to the fact that the script path related kpse stuff is not present; this is not so much miktex's fault as well that the texlive/miktex code bases need to be synchronized every now and then) / just let me know ahat is needed ... (it would be handy if i could make a texmf-miktex/bin tree with miktex binaries so that i can test with the minimal) 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
