Any context users using arch linux out there?
Yes :)
I have packaged context-minimals for arch linux. It is basically the first-setup.sh script simplified for arch linux (no platform checking, etc). I also modified the setuptex script to make sure it works in a multiuser environment (basically setting TEXMFCACHE to $HOME/texmf-cache).
The PKGBUILD is available at http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=30398
To install packages from AUR, you need to install yaourt http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Yaourt
and then you can install context using
yaourt -S context-minimals-git
(the -git extension is just to coax yaourt to keep the downloaded files, so that rsync makes sense).
It installs the minimals at /opt/context-minimals
That is great! Thank you for the work. I will try it when I have time. A package surely will make it easier for beginners to get started. cheers Arno
