Hans, maybe you can add something to ctxtools.rb that executes system("chmod +x scripts/context/unix/stubs/*") when the current platform is not a microsoft one? I believe fixing the stubs is a part of the update process. Cheers, Taco Taco Hoekwater wrote:

For those on UNIX(-like) systems that have only texmfstart.rb enabled as executable (chmod a+x texmfstart.rb) this will not work as none the ruby scripts in the distribution seem to have their execution bits set.

The next seems mandatory if only texmfstart is enabled: texmfstart ctxtools --purge

There is a whole bunch of shell stubs in the distribution, in

scripts/context/stubs/unix

but currently you always have to redo the "chmod +x" after each update because the execution permission bit is not kept in the zip, so it gets trashed during the unzip operation. _______________________________________________ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
