While the current issues (footnotes, imposition) are open, I'd like to roll back to a working beta. Unfortately the latest listed at http://minimals.contextgarden.net/current/context/ is from 2011; is this really the list of available versions?

http://gitorious.org/context

Thank you, but I don't seem to get that working... - cloned the repo to ~/workspace/texmf-context and checked out some older commit - set TEXROOT to ~/workspace/texmf-context - created a symlink TEXROOT/texmf to TEXROOT, since setuptex looks for that - created empty tex/plain/base/plain.tex, since setuptex looks for that (why plain??) - symlinked "suite" binaries (~/Library/texmf/tex/texmf-osx-intel to TEXROOT/texmf-osx-intel) $ . ~/Library/texmf/tex/setuptex $TEXROOT Setting "/Users/hraban/workspace/texmf-context" as ConTeXt root. $ which context /Users/hraban/workspace/texmf-context/texmf-osx-intel/bin/context $ echo $TEXROOT /Users/hraban/workspace/texmf-context But ConTeXt still uses the suite tree: $ context --version mtx-context | ConTeXt Process Management 0.52 mtx-context | mtx-context | main context file: /Users/hraban/Library/texmf/tex/ texmf-context/tex/context/base/context.mkiv mtx-context | current version: 2012.04.23 15:58 $ context --arrange arrange mtx-context | run 1: luatex --fmt="/Users/hraban/Library/texmf/tex/ texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/2448223e6631addb83df348d74153606/ formats/cont-en" --lua="/Users/hraban/Library/texmf/tex/texmf-cache/ luatex-cache/context/2448223e6631addb83df348d74153606/formats/cont- en.lui" --backend="pdf" "./arrange" \stoptext This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.70.1-2011051908 (rev 4277) \write18 enabled.

5) replace all the files under ~/workspace/context/standalone/tex/texmf-context with the content of beta_2012_01_02_17_18.zip

Why? Just do: git archive <hash> | (cd ~/workspace/context/standalone/tex/texmf-context/;tar xf -) Very nice instructions, would be nice to put them under http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Standalone#Reverting_to_an_older_insta... One issue: I think it's also necessary to also revert texmf-modules to the old state. Is there a repository for the third party modules? Marco

Any hints?

1) start with a new standalone on folder ~/workspace/context/standalone Don't run #> . setuptex ie #> source setuptex

2) put the repo under ~/workspace/context/git

3) search the commit  you need with git log #> git log e.g commit 47864ebdfe2d9916e365c2f278585a94879c813d Author: Marius Date:   Mon Jan 2 18:40:26 2012 +0200

--format zip (without =)

All commands was tested and they work on my Linux box; my man git archive says OPTIONS --format=<fmt> Format of the resulting archive: tar or zip. If this option is not given, and the output file is specified, the format is inferred from the filename if possible (e.g. writing to "foo.zip" makes the output to be in the zip format). Otherwise the output format is tar. -l, --list Show all available formats. -v, --verbose Report progress to stderr. --prefix=<prefix>/ Prepend <prefix>/ to each filename in the archive. -o <file>, --output=<file> Write the archive to <file> instead of stdout.

Up to now I didn’t find a working version, though. :-( binary try from 2010-05-24 13:10 to the last one broken

yes, but traditionally is --long_option=value -option value http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Argument-Syntax.html Given that both work, I prefer this style. -- luigi
