Hello luigi,


indeed the ConTeXt version 2011.05.18 18:04, with the LuaTeX
version beta-0.70.1-201106141  is used in TeXLive2011. These versions
give me fewer problems with TikZ than the version beta-0.70.1-2011052008
of LuaTeX, with the same ConTeXt version.
For instance, frames are put over each other in the stable and the beta
version of ConTeXt. But with the TeXLive2011 version, these frames are nice
separated of each other and I have no problems with error messages
about "catcode". With the stable and the beta version of ConTeXt the
process stops with error messages about "catcode".
And till now I have no problems with the colors.

Is there somewhere a howto, which describes how to compile
something from svn? I have never done such a thing,

The svn server is public
http://foundry.supelec.fr/gf/project/luatex/


On a linux box with svn installed, to compiled the latest trunk
$> /opt/luatex/svn
$>cd  /opt/luatex/svn
$> svn checkout http://foundry.supelec.fr/svn/luatex/trunk
$>cd /opt/luatex/svn/trunk; bash build.sh

The luatex exec. is into the build/texk/web2c folder
(i.e. /opt/luatex/svn/trunk/build/texk/web2c).

Once you've replaced the standard luatex with the last one, you must rebuild
the format and the databases
$>mtxrun --make; mtxrun --generate
