TLContrib is ready for testing

Hello all, Please, if you have moment to spare, have a good look at the TLContrib website and associated repository: http://tlcontrib.metatex.org/ The system should now be ready for the initial kickoff (I hope). Mojca, Hans and me have already tried and tested various things, but it is quite likely that there are still bugs. I decided to post to a small group of people before doing an announcement on tex-live@tug.org / c.t.t hoping that perhaps more people can have a look, and that the remaining bugs can then be fixed before 'normal' users start using the site. Please also let me know what you think could be improved, but before you suggest extra features, have a look at the page below to make sure your suggestion is not planned already: http://tlcontrib.metatex.org/todo.html Best wishes, Taco PS Mojca: I deleted your luatex darwin package to get a fresh start in the distribution database, sorry. Please, can you re-add it?

Great! Thanks a lot.

PS Mojca: I deleted your luatex darwin package to get a fresh start in the distribution database, sorry. Please, can you re-add it?

Are you then planning to "get another fresh start", so that we are free to attack your server for the next few days with random packages and bordercases? Mojca

Just let me know, and I can delete whatever junk you added and want removed in a couple of days (you can do it yourself one-at-a-time if you want, but I can do it a lot faster, being the admin and all that). I plan to keep 'my' packages in the database, as these are all tried and seem to work OK. Best wishes, Taco

Is this meant only for packages that cannot be part of TL due the restrictions that you mention, or is this also the right place to upload normal context modules. If so, is this going to eventually replace modules.contextgarden.net upload system? Aditya

context modules preferrably are uploaded to CTAN and thus will find their way within a few days into TeX Live proper, if the license is ok.

As Nrobert said. Fairly soon there will be a second website similar to the new tlcontrib that will indeed replace modules.contextgarden.net (and that will take care of uploads to ctan just like garden does now) but that will be a different site, not this one. Best wishes, Taco

Great. For anyone else using github as an external repo, github allows an svn export and that works fine. So, no more manual updating of the modules! The only isse is that the svn export is only for the master branch. Which means that I will have to change the branching convention for my modules, but that is easy. What is the HTTP URL meant for? I tried pointing it to a zip file of my module and it says "Sorry, we can only handle zip and tar.gz files at the moment". Thanks a lot. Aditya

I have promised Taco to send him a loooooooong list of requests for modules.contextgarden.net once this repository is up and running. :) :) :) Taco, once you are back to this ... the repository works much better now, but ConTeXt doesn't. I thought at first that /usr/local/texlive/2010/texmfcnf.lua was not adapted yet, but then I figured out that I have /usr/local/texlive/2010/texmfcnf.lua with return { TEXMFCACHE = '~/Library/texlive/2010/texmf-var' } that has probably been created for MacTeX only. Any idea how to best circumvent this? Should we ask Dick to fix texmfcnf.lua to handle both old and new ConTeXt? But most important of all - why doesn't ConTeXt handle that already? (Why doesn't it find several versions of configuration file and just overloads the important bits?) Mojca PS: is it possible to have several maintainers of the same package? Also, I don't mind too much, but it could see a bit strange to see my name listed as "Author" of LuaTeX. I also suggest some (off-list) discussion about packaging LuaTeX binaries and the best way to combine that with minimals & current building process. I plan to drop building pdfTeX and XeTeX anyway since the building breaks on many platforms and there is hardly any development being done

Something needs changing locally, there is nothing we can do at the repository end.

This is definitely a question for Hans.

No, but that sounds like a useful extension to consider. Best wishes, Taco

Not MKII, but old meaning "MKIV before March 2010" that was using a different format of texmfcnf.lua.

I have now changed /usr/local/texlive/2010/texmfcnf.lua that now includes: return { content = { TEXMFCACHE = '~/Library/texlive/2010/texmf-var' TEXMFHOME = '~/Library/texmf' } TEXMFCACHE = '~/Library/texlive/2010/texmf-var' } and this seems to work at least.

Hello all,

Please, if you have moment to spare, have a good look at the TLContrib website and associated repository:

http://tlcontrib.metatex.org/

The system should now be ready for the initial kickoff (I hope).

Mojca, Hans and me have already tried and tested various things, but it is quite likely that there are still bugs. I decided to post to a small group of people before doing an announcement on tex-live@tug.org / c.t.t hoping that perhaps more people can have a look, and that the remaining bugs can then be fixed before 'normal' users start using the site.

Probably I am doing something stupid, but how do I use this repo to make a fresh installation of TL. I downloaded http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet/install-tl-unx.tar.gz and ran install-tl --repository http://tlcontrib.metatex.org/2010/ which gave Installing TeX Live 2010 from: http://tlcontrib.metatex.org/2010 Platform: i386-linux => 'Intel x86 with GNU/Linux' Distribution: net (downloading) Using URL: http://tlcontrib.metatex.org/2010 Directory for temporary files: /tmp Loading http://tlcontrib.metatex.org/2010/tlpkg/texlive.tlpdb Aborting, cannot find either scheme-full or scheme_minimal at install-tl line 1344. Or can this only be used to upgrade existing TL installation? Aditya

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. Mojca

I am attaching the metapost and metafun log files, but they appear to be from the original TL installation (based on the time stamp).

Metapost 1.502 no longer uses formats, but the package still included the fmtutil lines to generate formats, and that is why you got an error. I have fixed the package, there should be a new revision of 'metapost' available in half an hour. And yes, your logs were from the old version. Best wishes, Taco
