Hi guys, How can i get a somewhat recent and stable version where things just work. I've tried --stable and --context=stable which both insist of getting luatex 0.40. mtxrun --verbose --script ./bin/mtx-update.lua --update --make --force --engine=all --context=stable --stable --texroot=$PWD/tex --extras="t-letter,t-mathsets,t-tikz,t-vim" $@ There's a lot of things broken in the current minimals, e.g., bib module, hanging, a error about front and I can't to even seem to use OT fonts. I think context should complain when a CLI options hasn't been spelt correctly: $ context --batchmoed Many thanks Mohamed

the names of stable versions is 'current' but you need also a older LuaTeX version
mtxrun --verbose --script ./bin/mtx-update.lua --update --make -- force --engine=all --context=stable --stable --texroot=$PWD/tex -- extras="t-letter,t-mathsets,t-tikz,t-vim" $@
t-letter :)
There's a lot of things broken in the current minimals, e.g., bib module, hanging, a error about front and I can't to even seem to use OT fonts.
hanging and front?
I think context should complain when a CLI options hasn't been spelt correctly:
CLI? Wolfgang

True. We only provide a single version of LuaTeX and "current" (that often gets broken as well) doesn't work with the latest LuaTeX. I'm looking forward to nice suggestions about how to solve the issue. One can fetch an "arbitrary" version of LuaTeX from repository, but that's not convenient. Mojca

Does it take too much space to also store the old versions of luatex binary? After all, we are only talking about the stable releases of ConTeXT. Aditya

an option is to have a 0.30 0.40 0.50 etc branch; alongside we can store the latest context mkiv that still works on such a version ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

Perhaps just one sentence in the wiki: If you want to run minimals-current, the you must overwrite your luatex-binary with an older version. For example like this: svn cat http://svn.contextgarden.net/minimals/bin/tex/linux-64/current/luatex/bin/lu... >`which luatex` You only need to check, what number XXX should be...

with minimals I'm using this luatex : # luatex This is LuaTeX, Version snapshot-0.31.3-2008122917 (Web2C 7.5.7) -- luigi
Thank you all! When was \mainlanguage[ukenglish] added? Producer: luaTeX-0.30.3 CreationDate: Mon Apr 27 14:48:13 2009 ModDate: ConTeXt - 2008.10.31 13:58 Is there an alternative? Peter Münster wrote:

bibtex fixing is in progress (at least it runs here) otf fonts ... well, i use them all day so ...
I think context should complain when a CLI options hasn't been spelt correctly:
$ context --batchmoed
hm, maybe some day but it has a real low priority 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
