Ubuntu edgy/feisty: texlive and context packages
I made texlive and context packages for Ubuntu edgy (6.10) and feisty (7.04). They are compiled on edgy (in a clean chroot) and should work on both. I haven't tested them on an edgy system, but I use them on my feisty laptop with no problems so far. Let me know of any problems. Here are the two lines for /etc/apt/sources.list (which supercede the ones in my last email): deb http://web.mit.edu/download/sanjoy/texlive-backports/ edgy/ deb-src http://web.mit.edu/download/sanjoy/texlive-backports/ edgy/ Then apt-get install context or apt-get install context context-doc-nonfree context-nonfree Would many users would like packages for Ubuntu dapper (6.06)? I'm not optimistic whether the backport from gutsy will work that far back, since library versions get farther apart. But if there's interest, I'll try it. -Sanjoy

Thanks a lot Sanjoy, I was a bit desperate to be able to update context via the apt mecanism, to a point that I was willing to test indesign ... I can now use optima font whith a (borrowed again from Hans perfect docs) whithout any hassle : % definetypeface[mainface][ss][sans] [iwona] [default][encoding=texnansi] \definetypeface[mainface][ss][sans] [iwona] [default][encoding=ec] \definetypeface[mainface][rm][serif][latin-modern] [default][encoding=texnansi,rscale=1.05] \definetypeface[mainface][tt][mono] [latin-modern] [default][encoding=texnansi,rscale=1.1] \definetypeface[mainface][mm][math] [times] [default][encoding=default, rscale=1.05] % definetypeface[heavyss] [ss][sans] [iwona-heavy] [default][encoding=texnansi] \definetypeface[narrowtt][tt][mono] [latin-modern-cond][default][encoding=texnansi,rscale=1.1] \setupbodyfont[mainface,ss,11pt] But whith this new version of context (2007.04.17) I loose features for a good number of files : It will be another post. Thanks again for permitting us to work on ubuntu. Olivier Turlier

That is desperation! But I agree. Installing packages straight from source, not through the package mechanism, feels like I am messing up my system. Whereas via apt feels organized. An hour ago I put newer backports at the same spot: deb http://web.mit.edu/download/sanjoy/texlive-backports/ edgy/ deb-src http://web.mit.edu/download/sanjoy/texlive-backports/ edgy/ They are based on Norbert's latest Debian packages for 'unstable', which are slightly newer than the latest Ubuntu gutsy packages. I tested the backports slightly on an edgy 'system' (actually a chroot) and they installed fine and worked with the simple test file \starttext \input tufte \stoptext I also use them for all my tex'ing with no problems so far on my feisty laptop. The apt-get that I recommend, which is on the wiki too, is apt-get update apt-get install cm-super texlive-fonts-recommended context \ context-nonfree context-doc-nonfree Warning: on 'edgy' cm-super pulls in tons of texlive-lang-* packages, so have O(100MB) of disk space available for them. -Sanjoy `If we are fortunate, Republicans will complete their self-destruction before they extinguish the Constitution and destroy America.' --Paul Roberts, former assistant Treasury Secretary under Reagan
