Hi everyone, I've been using ConTeXt (MKIV) through TeXLive 2010 until now, but wanted to try to use the Minimals installation. The installation went fine, but the latest beta version was not able to compile my document (I'll be posting about that separately). What I'm confused about is this: Does only the beta-version have MkIV/LuaTeX support? It seems that I cannot make the MKIV format if I install one of the "dated" versions: goerz@ophelia:~/context> ./first-setup.sh --context=2010.07.30 [ ... ] goerz@ophelia:~/context> mtxrun --selfupdate MTXrun | forcing cache reload MTXrun | resolvers: loading configuration file '/Users/goerz/context/tex/texmf/web2c/texmfcnf.lua' MTXrun | resolvers MTXrun | resolvers MTXrun | resolvers MTXrun | the resolver databases are not present or outdated MTXrun | resolvers: to be replaced old script /Users/goerz/context/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/mtxrun MTXrun | resolvers: using suffix based filetype 'lua' MTXrun | resolvers: unable to locate new script Is there a way of getting a version of minimals that has MKIV and is equivalent to the TeXLive 2010 installation, so that I can compile my document? More generally, is there a way to switch to the beta version of a specific date? Considering that new betas might break the compilation of existing documents, there would have to be a way for me to tell people "compile this document with version xxxx" -- even if it's just a specific revision number. Otherwise, there wouldn't be any reproducible way of compiling documents. Thanks, Michael Goerz

you can have trees like /context-1/... /context-2/... /context-3/... and initialize them on demand or run with mtxrun --tree=/context-2 --script context .... . ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Nice! I believe one has to take care of its PATH on his own or does the context script takes care of that too? Regards. -- Cédric

either use the 'setuptex' script in the tex tree that you want to use, or add the bin path of the tree you want ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

..only if somebody else would like to use my style: I use following two aliases in my .bashrc to switch between two context installations. alias ctx1='unset `env | grep TEX | sed "s/=.*$//"`; . /opt/context1/tex/setuptex; export PS1="# "; export OSFONTDIR="/usr/share/fonts" ' alias ctx2='unset `env | grep TEX | sed "s/=.*$//"`; . /opt/context2/tex/setuptex; export PS1="# "; export OSFONTDIR="/usr/share/fonts" ' I open console in directory with tex source files and run ctx1 or ctx2 command. It's comfortable, flexible and easy IMO. Zdenek
