TeX Live 2019: attempt to call a nil value (upvalue 'isfile')
Dear list, I just installed TeX Live 2019 pretest and running context --make fails with error in callback: ...xlive/2019/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/mkiv/luat-cod.lua:194: attempt to call a nil value (upvalue 'isfile') This can easily be fixed by replacing in luat-cod.lua local isfile = lfs.isfile with local isfile = function(file) return lfs.attributes(file,"mode") == "file" end This should probably be fixed before the release. Cheers, Henri
Hm, it looks like the macro code hasn't been updated from 2018 yet, because after fixing isfile it crashes when trying to load the old pdfe library. Cheers, Henri On 1/03/19 12:14 PM, Henri Menke wrote:

This can easily be fixed by replacing in luat-cod.lua
local isfile = lfs.isfile
with
local isfile = function(file) return lfs.attributes(file,"mode") == "file" end

seems so. I have just tested luatex 1.10 against the latest zip and it's all ok. -- luigi

I can take care of that if you have further suggestions (other than dejavu). I didn't check what the actual error could be (no time now). I used darwinlegacy binaries. Mojca

OK, strange. It works for me in TeX Live as well after I installed the missing dejavu fonts. I didn't imagine that it would break with such a strange error when a font is missing though.
( forget the time, it's a zero-optimized binary (fast to compile))
It takes even longer for me with the binary from the distribution.

You could wonder that for all the zillions of fonts that ship with TeX Live. Only CM is compulsory, the rest is up to user's taste. Mojca

I know, but we use the minimals as checkpoint; on that platform 47.547 seconds for standard luatex means that something is (profoundly) wrong. -- luigi

With luatex 1.10 (mingw 64 version), when i delete the tuc file so with multiple runs to get the cross ref and lists right, I get: mkiv lua stats > runtime: 13.676 seconds, 294 processed pages, 294 shipped pages, 21.498 pages/second system | total runtime: 67.472 seconds After that, single runs take around 13 seconds: mkiv lua stats > runtime: 13.227 seconds, 294 processed pages, 294 shipped pages, 22.227 pages/second so, so, on my laptop (which for sure is slower than yours) a 21 pps rate is normal Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
