thanks, mojca, but I think in the future new minimals should be carefully tested before commit to the server.
There are two different things: - scripts devoted to the minimals (which is what I have updated now) - ConTeXt itself The reason for broken distribution has mostly been broken ConTeXt which is Hans's resposibility (and would be broken on any other distribution). But one of the most important features is the possibility to use "--context=YYYY.MM.DD" to take you back in time if your distribution is broken.
at least 5 times the formats failed to compile this year which made the users run into problem using it. btw. the minimals works fine under FreeBSD using the Linux compatibility layer. but should we make binaries for BSD i386 and BSD amd64 as well?
There is no problem to make one, but the most important question: Who is going/willing to send me the binaries for the almost-latest XeTeX, metapost, LuaTeX and pdfTeX? If anyone is willing to take that over (send me binaries for the beginning) and to test it, I will add another architecture to the scripts.
ps. until now only pdftex works in the minimals if we try to use the good old ways. the configuration files for dvipdfm(x) and dvips are almost missing. should we add it later? or just remove the dvi support completely?
dvips ... might be supported, I don't know. Is dvipdfm needed? Mojca
