Hi Hans,
I ran just now ruby 1.8.6 and the force_encoding() patch worked well.
yes, but if we can avoid adapting all those strings ... i'm pretty sure that if we follow that route we have to patch a lot also keep in mind that in 1.9 there are several encodings (external and internal) so setting up a roundtrip using the string properties involves more patches)
Just now I upgrade "--context=current". The banner in the texexec.rb is banner = ['TeXExec', 'version 6.2.1', '1997-2009', 'PRAGMA ADE/POD'] and the date of this script (after updating) is 10-04-2009 (its April..)
I'm running mkii. How do I get mkii beta scripts, as texexec.rb you mention?
it depends: if (on linux) "texexec" is a big file then you need to copy texexec.rb to texexec, else if it's a stub it should just work (in that case texmfstart will start texexec.rb)
All my rubys are compiled from the box with mingw in windows (2000 or XP, in 3 different machines). Of course the encoding thing is different in Linux, Windows (and DOS prompts, for the matter), so there is probably different behavior in ruby/context/tex interaction with
on windows there should be a stub (something texexec.cmd == "ruby texmfstart texexec ...")
