Do I need mtxrun? If so, where are the sources and how do I build it?
Yes, you need it, but it’s just an alias to luametatex:
~/context/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin $ ll total 7704 -rw-r--r--@ 1 hraban staff 6,0K 14 Dez 19:11 .DS_Store lrwxr-xr-x 1 hraban staff 10B 22 Feb 18:47 context@ -> luametatex -rw-r--r-- 1 hraban staff 1,3K 10 Aug 2023 context.lua -rwxr-xr-x 1 hraban staff 2,9M 22 Feb 18:47 luametatex* lrwxr-xr-x 1 hraban staff 10B 22 Feb 18:47 mtxrun@ -> luametatex -rw-r--r-- 1 hraban staff 685K 22 Feb 18:47 mtxrun.lua
The mtxrun in ~/context/bin is only used during installation.
What else do I need in ~/context/tex?
