Probably I am doing something stupid, but how do I use this repo to make a fresh installation of TL.
Or can this only be used to upgrade existing TL installation?
No, you cannot make a fresh installation from it. You can only use it to upgrade LuaTeX/ConTeXt or to install additional packages on top of existing installation.
OK.

I am attaching the metapost and metafun log files, but they appear to be from the original TL installation (based on the time stamp). On the plus side, I do not 2010.07.30 version of context and a simple context document containing metapost does comiple fine. (I cannot test MkII because I don't have a working ruby installation on this machine). Aditya
