request for a few volunteers to test distribution on new server
Dear ConTeXters, we will point the distribution to the new server later today (for a moment without any significant changes). Before we do that I would like to ask some of you to try out ./first-install.sh --server=distribution.contextgarden.net to make sure that I didn't do any obvious mistake on the way. The changes that I'm aware of are the following: 1.) changed names of math fonts deleting fonts/opentype/public/lm/lmmath-regular.otf deleting fonts/opentype/public/tex-gyre/texgyretermes-math.otf deleting fonts/opentype/public/tex-gyre/texgyrepagella-math.otf fonts/opentype/public/lm-math/lmodern-math.otf fonts/opentype/public/tex-gyre-math/texgyrepagella-math.otf fonts/opentype/public/tex-gyre-math/texgyretermes-math.otf 2.) some font documentation is missing, I forgot to include Asana Math (fixing it) and there are some euler fonts there were not present earlier (I need to look into that) 3.) gone: /doc, /experimental, /pragma, /texlive (none of those is used, but /doc is now under /current/doc) 4.) alpha and dated context versions are gone (hardly make any sense since they are too old and hardly usable) 5.) I see lots of (so far unexplained) changes in TikZ. I didn't try to figure out what those are. 6.) I didn't set up headers/footers/icons yet to make the few semi-(non-)useful notes on the website. Mojca (PS: there are other changes on the way, but I first want to make sure that the old distribution will keep working as it did now.)

Hi Mojca, I just checked the new server. There appear to be no obvious errors, everything works. Just a few small observations: 1. ./first-install.sh --server=distribution.contextgarden.net: I assume you meant ./first-setup.sh, right? 2. Is the rsync phase somewhat slower than it used to be? I have no real measurements, just the impression that it took somewhat longer. 3. I assume the "new" server doesn't get synced to the latest beta yet? Because I get 2012.11.29 18:40, but 2012.11.30 has been out since yesterday, according to the pragma website. Thanks for the important and wonderful work, all best Thomas

Which reminds me .. weren't we going to rename the script into "context-install' or so?
2. Is the rsync phase somewhat slower than it used to be? I have no real measurements, just the impression that it took somewhat longer.
the previous server was probably located close to your home

Yes. (But Hans' point is also true.)

I don't know. There is a high chance that lots of things had to be synchronized just because the date is different than it used to be on the old server. Maybe you observed that? But I didn't do any timings either. (Hans' explanation is also possible, but less likely.) I'm actually curious about the highest speed that people can get when fetching files from the server.

Thanks for noticing. ConTeXt itself has been updated, I still need to figure out why it hasn't been synced to the distribution. Mojca
