testing TeX Live 2011
Hello, apart from a pending fix for TeX Live installer (shell script "install-tl") which writes out a proper texmfcnf.lua based on what user enters as his/her preferences for locations of TEXMFHOME etc. (if you don't touch any settings, this is not too important and if you do, you can manually fix the file) and some yet-to-be-made decision about when to run 'mtxrun --generate" (which you can also ignore and simply run mtxrun --generate by hand), ConTeXt in TeX Live 2011 should work now, thanks to all the effort that Taco in particular has put into this. If anyone is willing to help to work on man pages, please feel free to volunteer (context man page has already been committed, mtxrun not, but both of them need more input). The following is the list of modules. If you miss any, it is now the best time to ask. (TikZ is also there; I need to test it, but it should work.) depend context-account depend context-algorithmic depend context-bnf depend context-chromato depend context-construction-plan depend context-degrade depend context-filter depend context-fixme depend context-french depend context-fullpage depend context-games depend context-gnuplot depend context-letter depend context-lettrine depend context-lilypond depend context-mathsets depend context-notes-zh-cn depend context-rst depend context-ruby depend context-simplefonts depend context-simpleslides depend context-top-ten depend context-typearea depend context-typescripts depend context-vim Mojca

Dear Mojca, dear Taco, Thank you for sharing th einfo on TexLIve 2011 pretest. I would like to let you know that I downloaded mactex20110529.mpkg.zip from one of the sites on http://tug.org/texlive/pretest.html and after unzipping, tried to install the pacjkage for pretesting. However, I get an error message stating that: The package could not be completed. (com.apple.installer.pagecontroller error -1.) Couldn't open "mactex20110529.mpkg". This is just to inform you about an issue (I use only ConTeXt from th eminimals at this point). Best regards: OK On 4 juin 2011, at 10:10, Taco Hoekwater wrote:

In past emails on the list you mention that you are using Snow Leopard. I guess the same is true for the machine where you tested MacTeX or do you happen to have some Tiger left somewhere in the corner? The weird thing is that the same file worked for me on 64-bit SL (10.6.7) a few days ago and unless there is some file corruption present (but then it wouldn't even unzip properly), mactex didn't change since then. Mojca PS: Not relevant for your report, but I would warn you that MacTeX doesn't yet have an out-of-the-box working ConTeXt (you need to update context first, but even then there are some "problems" with outdated texmfcnf.lua file), but that was probably already evident from the release date that is part of the name as we only got a properly working ConTeXt today in the morning (tomorow morning follows another no-so-critical fix).
Hi Mojca, Sorry for not having stated the OS and machine on which I tried the MacTex package: yes I am on a Mac Intel Core 2 Duo, and Mac OS X 10.6.7. Right now I don't have Tiger at hand, but maybe I can find one with a friend willing to try. Regarding what you say about your experience of MacTex under Mac OS X 10.6.7, it is indeed weird that it doesn't work for me. Would it be possible that unzipping with Zipeg (an application which I use for expanding zipped files) may explain the difference between your experience and mine? Thanks again for your efforts for bringing ConTeXt in various flavors to the Mac community! Best regards: OK On 5 juin 2011, at 14:54, Mojca Miklavec wrote:

If the program is faulty or if there were problems with download (incomplete download for example) and your program ignored that, yes. But in general this is not very common. You can try "md5sum mactex20110529.mpkg.zip" and try to unzip with something else. I would say that it might be best to ask Richard Koch, the author of MacTeX, but I'm not sure that he would be able to help either. An alternative is to wait for the next version of MacTeX and see if that one is going to work any better. Mojca

How do I indicate that context-vim depends on context-filter? Aditya

You can add depend context-filter to context-vim.tlpsrc and hope that package-based dependency tracking will be implemented once in the future. If you want, I can add it. It won't work now, but it might be a hint in the future. Mojca

Please add that. After all, officially you are also an author of t-vim :) Aditya
