With such a fast changing codebase would it be possible to set up a SCM repository to track ConTeXt beta development. GIT/HG/SVN would do it. With revision control one can at least roll back changes that are broken.

Great, I didn't know about that! It would be helpful, though, if the git repository included a complete multi-architecture beta with all extras (fonts, modules). Then, we could easily copy this as a portable application on a USB flash drive. Martin, would you be willing to alter your perl script to include executables and extra modules? Maybe it is useful to put the executables in individual git repositories. I use the following bash script to update everything: ######### TARGET=$HOME/context-beta ARCHS="cygwin freebsd-amd64 freebsd kfreebsd-amd64 kfreebsd-i386 linux-64 linux-ppc linux mswin osx-64 osx-intel osx-ppc osx-universal solaris-intel solaris-sparc" test -d ${TARGET} || mkdir ${TARGET} # sync platform independent files rsync -rpztlv --delete contextgarden.net::"minimals/current/base/*/ minimals/current/fonts/*/ minimals/current/misc/web2c" "${TARGET}/texmf" rsync -rpztlv contextgarden.net::minimals/current/misc/setuptex/ "${TARGET}/" #rsync -rpztlv --delete contextgarden.net::"minimals/current/context/current/ minimals/current/context/img/" "${TARGET}/texmf-context" rsync -rpztlv --delete contextgarden.net::"minimals/current/context/beta/ minimals/current/context/img/ minimals/current/modules/*/" "${TARGET}/texmf-context" # sync manpages rsync -rpztlv --delete contextgarden.net::"minimals/current/bin/man/man" "${TARGET}/texmf-common" # sync precompiled software for each architecture for ARCH in $ARCHS; do rsync -rpztlv --delete contextgarden.net::"minimals/current/bin/*/${ARCH}/" "${TARGET}/texmf-${ARCH}" # copy mtxrun.lua (is this really necessary?!) rsync -tgov --chmod=a+x "${TARGET}/texmf-context/scripts/context/lua/mtxrun.lua" "${TARGET}/texmf-${ARCH}/bin/mtxrun" # create link to common manpages ln -s ../texmf-common/man "${TARGET}/texmf-${ARCH}/man" done ######### Then all you have to do is to run PATH=${TARGET}/texmf-${PLATFORM}/bin:$PATH mtxrun --tree="${TARGET}" --generate and remake the formats for MKIV, MKII, ... to obtain a complete working context minimals beta.
