I know I have asked this question before and I know you have been discussing this question and cc'd to me.... but anyway. I think this is definitely time to switch the TeX distribution for garden. I use debian 3.1 there and I don't want to update anything to testing/unstable/... Could you give me an advice? Should i use the minimal ConTeXt distribution from PRAGMA ADE?

Then you're in troubles ;) You can't get a stable ConTeXt ;) Are you sure you want one? ;)

http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Debian_installation The others will surely have a better answer, but I guess that you can install *only* TeXLive without having to switch to unstable: <quoting> If you are not running unstable, simply add these lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://www.tug.org/texlive/Debian/ context/ deb-src http://www.tug.org/texlive/Debian/ context/ </quoting> Since you have ConTeXt updating procedure already, it's probably enough to install TeXLive and no ConTeXt.

Where can I rsync texlive? Can't mount iso image....

Don't know about the images, but the svn is available via rsync: http://www.tug.org/tex-live/svn/ Best Martin

http://www.tug.org/texlive/svn/? But are you sure that you don't want to use the existing Debian package? Mojca

thanks for the url, I've found the rsync source...
But are you sure that you don't want to use the existing Debian package?
no. I've seen that they should work on current stable? Unbelievable! Anybody with experience on that? I guess Norbert knows what he is doing, so I think I'll try those packages first. Patrick -- ConTeXt wiki and more: http://contextgarden.net

No, on current stable definitely not. It does not have tex-common nor
any infrastructure.
One *could* in theory compile the packages for sarge. There are already
backports for teTeX3 and tex-common etc, but I haven't tried this. And I
am happy that the texlive packages made it into etch!
No, the options are:
- etch
- or TL2007 from the iso image, but without package managing and with no
updates to context.

The others will surely have a better answer, but I guess that you can install *only* TeXLive without having to switch to unstable:
I don't have Debian stable here -- switched to Ubuntu (6.10), which is more like Debian unstable as of 6 months ago. But I worry that the context packages won't install on Debian stable because they depend on texlive-base-bin,tex-common and others that are only in testing/unstable. Two options: 1. wait until testing becomes stable, which allegedly will be 'soon', and then you can do everything out of the box. 2. apt-get the source to texlive-base-bin and rebuild it on Debian stable. Or maybe there's a backports repository for it already? -Sanjoy `Not all those who wander are lost.' (J.R.R. Tolkien)
Hi, I'll switch to texlive2007 now. Live is alread done, wiki comes next. Thanks for all answers, Patrick -- ConTeXt wiki and more: http://contextgarden.net
