Updating ConTeXt using TeX Live 2010 (Linux)
Hello list, after updating ConText to "beta" I get the following error message. ../mtx-context.lua:669: attempt to call field 'locateformat' (a nil value) Any ideas? Daniel

Don't update ConTeXt in TeXLive manually, if you want the latest and greatest beta use minimals. Regards, Khaled -- Khaled Hosny Arabic localiser and member of Arabeyes.org team Free font developer

How exactly did you update ConTeXt in TeX Live? One can do that in principle, but it's not very wise to do it. If nothing else, one needs to make sure that all the binaries and scripts are properly replaced. I didn't test the instructions from TL 2009. Some of them may be different. I would recommend installing minimals along TeX Live. ConTeXt it TL 2010 is perfectly suitable for normal work. If you need the latest version, you can always switch to minimals. Mojca
I did the update process via rsync and chosed the "beta". Afterwards
followed the update of luatex and the commands "luatools --generate" and
"context --make".

You need to update at least mtxrun as well.

I'm not sure about it, but it is quite probable that you would need to fix texmfcnf.lua as well. The format of that file has been changed after TeX Live 2010 has been released. If mtxrun --generate doesn't help, you would need to fix the cnf file. See http://minimals.contextgarden.net/current/misc/web2c/texmfcnf.lua and compare with your '/usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf/web2c/texmfcnf.lua'. (I didn't try to update TL 2010 ...) Mojca
