Is there a *.deb release for the current context version, or what are the plans for it?

Norbert Preining is on vacation, so I'm guessing no. The most recent version he's got on his site (http://people.debian.org/~preining/TeX/context/) is 2008.01.02. That's unfortunate (for me - not for him ;0) ...

I'm hesitant to go with a distribution independent context install ...

Do you absolutely, positively need the most recent version, or did you want to test it? I do need the new version which is supposed to support zip-file reading in XML mode ...

It supports reading from zip files (nice feature ;-) but what is wrong with ConTeXt's own function to update the system. ctxtools --updatecontent did everything for you Wolfgang
