Hi all,
does anyone know whether LuaTeX will be part of TeX Live 2008?
If I browse the SVN correctly, it currently contains a 1 year old ConTeXt, checked in by Taco, and no LuaTeX.
Context on texlive is updated once a year. It is a somewhat elaborate process because texlive wants some stuff removed from the distribution and quite some other stuff has to be relocated. I prefer not to do that except when it is absolutely necessary. The next texlive will normally have the latest stable context from the week before the code freeze. There definately be a luatex executable included as well, but it will be more for the benefit of having texlua as a scripting engine, than for proper typesetting. Best wishes, Taco
