Dear ConTeXters,
In order to correct an embarrassing thinko (wrong units of acceleration!) in my book for its next printing, I need to regenerate the PDF changing only that one spot.
Thus, I am looking for an old ConTeXt version, 2014.05.17. The latest versions find different page and line breaks. I haven't been able to convince them to rediscover the old breaks (which were carefully optimized over a few miserable weeks back in 2014).
I have the 2014.05.17 minimal on my old laptop, a i386 32-bit Linux laptop (2006 vintage). I joined the 2010 decade recently and now use 64-bit laptop; the 32-bit minimals don't work on it.
The wiki, at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Standalone#Reverting_to_an_older_insta..., says that the old versions are available at http://minimals.contextgarden.net/current/context/, where I found only the latest versions.
Could you point me to a linux/64-bit minimal for 2014.05.17? I'll update the wiki accordingly. (If the old versions are gone, I'll dig out my old laptop and regenerate it that way, or try convincing the laptop to use 32-bit executables as well.)
This is slightly suboptimal at the moment. My suggestion would be the following: - fetch the latest minimals for 64-bit linux - remove texmf-context and replace it with the one from your old machine (alternatively you could fetch that version of ConTeXt from GIT) - check which version of LuaTeX you have on the old 32-bit box (it's probably beta-0.79.1) - fetch that version from SVN from http://svn.contextgarden.net/suite-bin/tex/x86_64-linux (if it's that version, just checkout r197) - you might need to replace mtxrun from the old version (or maybe I forgot another thing or two) Everything else should keep working unless some font names changed in the meantime. Alternatively start with your old 32-bit tree and just add the texmf-linux-64 tree from the new installation to it (of course make sure to replace luatex and potentially other scripts in that tree).
