Hi All, I wrote a few weeks ago, about making old context releases available to everybody:

...

I'll start adding stuff next week. The first ones will be hard, [..]

122 massive commits later, I am finished putting all cont-tmf.zip files in the subversion repository: https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ The svn comment is always the release date. There are less than 122 releases in the SVN, more like 110, because sometimes I messed up the commit, and had to add a few files afterwards. Usually, that happened when new directories were added to the zip (it is surprisingly hard to get that right in one iteration). Everything from March 2003 onwards is complete and reliable, there can be tiny errors in the older commits (it took me that long to iron out all of the bugs in the zip compare script). I've lowercased the MS-DOS filenames in the oldest zips, and put them in tex/context/base (these antiquary zips did not have an embedded directory tree). I will create file releases for every zip archive also, but there are problems with the uploads for that, so it'll have to wait until Fabrice has time to debug the site configuration. If you want to make sure you download a 100% accurate version of one of the old releases, it is better to wait for those releases to appear. Happy TeXing! Taco
