Following Taco's release of the new luatex here is now the announcement of new packages for context and luatex.
Good news, thanks!
Both have been uploaded to Debian/experimental Version: luatex 0.30.3, context 2008.10.31
CONTEXT ======= The new context passed my usual tests: compiling a couple of 100+-page books with math and physics equations and figures. It didn't pass a new test, mixing Palatino and Euler: ========== start test.tex =============== \usetypescript[palatino] [ec] \definetypeface [palatino] [mm] [math] [euler] [euler] [rscale=1.03] \setupbodyfont[palatino,11pt] \starttext \startformula c^2 = a^2 + b^2. \stopformula \stoptext ========== end test.tex =============== This test also did not work with my previous context installation (the 2008.05.21 packages). With either the current or previous packages, the equation comes out in Euler but as "a^2 b^2 + c^2:" (i.e. missing equals sign, and the period replaced by a colon). The test works on live.contextgarden.net (context 2008.11.10), and it worked with an older set of context minimals a month or so ago. So I suspect a problem in my font map files (I'm using lmodern 1.010x-5). The problem might be caused by something silly that I did; however, as far as I know I run a vanilla tex setup from your Debian 'unstable' packages. Let me know if you have the same problem. LUATEX ====== I couldn't find luatex in Debian/experimental. I tried two methods to find it. The first method is: $ aptitude update # with experimental in my sources.list $ aptitude install luatex/experimental It produced: Unable to find an archive "experimental" for the package "luatex" Which was strange, since I also have your line deb http://people.debian.org/~preining/TeX/ luatex-sid/ in my sources.list, and it wasn't picked up there either. For the second method, I visited http://packages.debian.org/search?suite=experimental&keywords=luatex which lists these luatex packages * experimental (tex): next generation TeX engine 0.30.3-1: amd64 hppa ia64 kfreebsd-amd64 kfreebsd-i386 sparc So, there's no i386 package. I'm using a TP T60, so that's why the first method didn't find the new luatex. I've just downloaded the source package and, as a check, will try to build the binary package. -Sanjoy `Until lions have their historians, tales of the hunt shall always glorify the hunters.' --African Proverb
