Re: [NTG-context] Installing a specific version of context

I don't think it's possible to do off-the-shelf. The following is what I used to do to run some tests: 1) Install the latest beta. 2) Clone to the mirror on Github [ https://github.com/contextgarden/context-mirror] 3) Sync the cloned repository to an older date 4) Replace the tex folder in context installation with the content of the repository 5) Make the format files It worked for me when I did my tests. (I wanted to see when a particular functionality had changed/broke.) However, this is not perfect. Because the LuaTeX and the other binaries will be latest, not the versions specific to the date you requested. On Tue, Apr 24, 2018 at 6:56 AM, N. Raghavendra wrote:

I would like to install the version of context dated 2017.11.14. How can one do this? I tried

sh first-setup.sh --context=2017.11.14

but it produces errors like

rsync: change_dir "/current/context/2017.11.14" (in minimals) failed: No such file or directory (2)

I'd appreciate suggestions about this.

Thanks, Raghu.
