I'd like to make the ruby version of texexec the default. Are there any strong objections to this?
Also, i'd like the stubs to run texmfstart as launcher. For that purpose i'll add a /scripts/context/stubs/[mswin|unix] path with the default stubs that one can copy to some bin path
just out of curiosity, is there a particular reason why ruby was chosen? was something wrong with perl? will the next one (newnewtexexec) be in python? :)))
it's all a matter of taste. i like ruby and after working with it for a whiel decided that i could write better / cleaner code in ruby than in perl; i skipped python (didn't like some of its syntax); i'll stick to ruby (and later on lua for embedded tex stuff, but that's another story); so, there wil not be a texexec.py Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
