Hi,

Again a new lmtx upload. As these days are all about counting and numbers ... of the 19K visible macros some 14K are now flagged. Many thanks for the new release, Hans.

I’m afraid that I cannot update unless I remove tex/texmf*.tma.

I’m on Linux-64bit and I wonder whether I’m the only user affected by this issue.

...

Question: do we really need all these 'named characters' or can we at some point ditch many .. I assume that users who key in greek and cyrillic use unicode nowdays (no hurry, just wondering). As for Greek enconding, I never used anything else than UTF-8.

Many thanks for your help,

Same problem on WIndows 10. I have taken to simply doing a fresh install to get updates. Minor frustration. -- Rik

I had to remove these files to update from LMTX from 2020.10.20 to version from 2020.11.05. But I had to remove these files again to upgrade from 2020.11.05 to 2020.11.06. I wonder whether the same happens in Windows (I haven’t checked it yet). Just in case it helps, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Hi Pablo, I had the same issue as the one you were reporting (on MacOS 10.14.6). I removed the three files texmf-context.tma texmf-osx-64.tma texmf.tma before issuing the command sh install.sh Now I am getting fetching 'http://lmtx.pragma-ade.com/install-lmtx//texmf-context.zip on my Terminal window and I think I will get the new version uploaded by Hans (my internet connection is very slow…). Thank you for the hint… Best regards: Otared

Dear Hans, Would it be possible to have a simple text file with the latest release version (or date) tag in it? Next to the folder containing the actual install script files? In that case it is easy to check that version tag by comparing with the local copy and decide if a further download and install is needed. m.vr.gr. Floris

curl -I http://pragma-ade.com/context/latest/cont-tmf.zip

Improved message: echo "" && curl -I http://pragma-ade.com/context/latest/cont-tmf.zip 2>&1 | grep Last-Modified && echo "" So you don’t mix access time with last modification. Just in case it helps, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

this seems to work: #!/usr/bin/env bash cd ~/context OLD=`stat -c "%w" context-linux-64.zip` echo "current: " $OLD curl -s -O http://lmtx.pragma-ade.nl/install-lmtx/context-linux-64.zip NEW=`stat -c "%w" context-linux-64.zip` if [[ "$OLD" != "$NEW" ]] ; then echo " new: " $NEW mtxrun --script cache --erase >ctx.log unzip -q -o context-linux-64.zip rm tex/*.tma sh ./install.sh >ctx.log context --version | grep "current version" fi

a version mismatch normally comes from the fact that i generate an lmtx update (for wolfgang to check, posted elsewhere) but nor a mkiv one and then upload to the website (as happened)

also, the update script itself doesn't get updated so when that gets adapted one has to get it from the bare install

(keep in mind that doing a fresh install doesn't hurt the system because texmf-projects and texmf-fonts are not affected)

The version check is just to prevent the extra data from being downloaded and installed when there was no need for it, because the current installed version is the same. (it saves the coal to be burned for the electricity)
