Better to be fixed/backported in the TeX Live svn, too, so that users don't stumble over a tlmgr --repository .../tlcontrib update --all and suddenly context is gone.

Hi all,

So far, it looks like we have three issue groups:

1) the compile errors for metapost with the missing png.h 2) various luatex compile problems for luasocket 3) broken context / texdoc (lualatex?)with texlive

Issue 1) appears to be a timestamp problem. It is probably possible to work around it by manually running 'make' in build/libs/zlib and build/libs/libpng, then 'make mpost' in build/texk/web2c. Somehow, the build rules are not quite right yet, and I probably need help from PEB to fix it properly.

Issue 2) probably comes down to the bleeding edge luasocket not being as portable as the released version, and should be relatively easy to fix.

Issue 3) means that some package updates should go to tlcontrib asap.

But for today, I just wish you all a blessed christmas / yule. Programming is for tomorrow. ok. Merry christmas to all of you !! -- luigi

Linking fails due to a call to an undefined function:

Undefined first referenced symbol in file hstrerror libluasocket.a(libluasocket_a-socket.o) ld: fatal: symbol referencing errors. No output written to luatex

A patch is attached.

Changing hstrerror (from netdb.h) to strerror might not be a good idea, it might result in reporting a wrong error message. This should be fixed so that hstrerror is actually found. I'm not sure what's wrong here, the luasocket build or the libtool call? Marco

hstrerror is in -lresolv, and needs an extra autoconf test, no need for source patches.

That makes sense. Thanks for looking into that. Tomorrow I will run a re-build if it's fixed by then. Marco

FYI: We have done 0.74 tests with context so it works ok but this time the beta was not yet pushed to the garden. Also, just popping luatex 0.74 into the stable texlive tree is not that good an idea if stability is important. The 0.74+ versions are more a prelude to texlive 2014 esp as there are some fixes coming that can also influence compatibility. Afaik, context in texlive is the 'current' and not the 'beta' (Mojca has to correct me if I'm wrong).
