ConTeXt Minimals: `luatools --selfupdate` does not work.
Dear ConTeXt folks, I installed ConTeXt minimals and tried to run luatools --selfupdate as documented in the Wiki [1]. It looks like, the option is not supported anymore, since the output looks like a list of supported options. Am I right about this? $ luatools --selfupdate MTXrun | TDS Runner Tool 1.26 | ConTeXt TDS Management Tool 1.35 (aka luatools) MTXrun | MTXrun | --generate generate file database MTXrun | --variables show configuration variables MTXrun | --expansions show expanded variables MTXrun | --configurations show configuration order MTXrun | --expand-braces expand complex variable MTXrun | --expand-path expand variable (resolve paths) MTXrun | --expand-var expand variable (resolve references) MTXrun | --show-path show path expansion of ... MTXrun | --var-value report value of variable MTXrun | --find-file report file location MTXrun | --find-path report path of file MTXrun | --make or --ini make luatex format MTXrun | --run or --fmt= run luatex format MTXrun | --luafile=str lua inifile (default is <progname>.lua) MTXrun | --lualibs=list libraries to assemble (optional when --compile) MTXrun | --compile assemble and compile lua inifile MTXrun | --verbose give a bit more info MTXrun | --all show all found files MTXrun | --sort sort cached data MTXrun | --format=str filter cf format specification (default 'tex', use 'any' for any match) MTXrun | --engine=str target engine MTXrun | --progname=str format or backend MTXrun | --pattern=str filter variables MTXrun | --trackers=list enable given trackers MTXrun | MTXrun | More information about ConTeXt and the tools that come with it can be found at: MTXrun | MTXrun | maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context MTXrun | webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net MTXrun | wiki : http://contextgarden.net Thanks, Paul [1] http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Minimals

this is because luatools is now a shortcut to "mtxrun --script base" so you only need to selfupdate mtxrun ... originally luatools was meant as a generic stub for making luatex formats etc but as I don't expect it to be used outside context it's sort of gone as independent script as mtxrun can do most of the same (what's left ended up in mtx-base) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Understood. I updated the Wiki page accordingly [2]. Thanks, Paul PS: `luatools --generate` still does something. Is it deprecated and superseded by a `mtxrun` command? [2] http://wiki.contextgarden.net/index.php?title=ConTeXt_Minimals&oldid=11942

no, luatools (or mtxrun --script base) sort of does what kpsewhich does and as such it also generates a file database so luatools will stay as shortcut Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
