Dear list, I'm quite new to ConTeXt and have worked my way through a lot of documentation. The Garden is an invaluable source as well as this mailing list. Sometimes it occurs that a feature which is announced on the mailing list is neither documented in the Garden nor in some PDF. Then I proceed to browse the source where I found four resources: (1) local (for TeXlive in /usr/local/texlive/2016/texmf-dist/tex/context) (2) http://source.contextgarden.net/ (3) http://repo.or.cz/w/context.git (4) https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror The first three are outdated and the last doesn't offer full text search. I could update the first source, but I don't want to break my existing setup and often I just look at the source to find out how things are implemented or to checkout whether a new feature is worth updating. It would be great if the online sources (2) and (3) could be updated. Another option would be to move the (4) from bitbucket to github, because github offers full text search in a repository (among other features, like continuous integration or gitter.im chatroom which are all free for an open-source project, see [1] for details). I'd love to hear what the elders of ConTeXt think about this. Cheers, Henri [1] https://github.com/integrations

Hi Henri, why don’t you install ConTeXt Standalone? It is portable, so you may install it in the same machine with TeX Live 2016. (This is also why I asked you to test the Linux 32bit ConTeXt Standalone with hyphenation.) Create a new directory in in your /home/ directory and there you can download and update the latest beta. This won’t break your existing TL 2016 installation. And so you can have the latest source and you may even use it. I use the following commands: cd /home/user/context-beta-directory/ rsync -ptv rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/setup/first-setup.sh . ./first-setup.sh --modules=all cd && source /home/user/context-beta-directory/ mtxrunjit --generate And you may start using it invoking: source /home/user/context-beta-directory/tex/setuptex (Sorry, if this was obvious to you. In that case, it hasn’t been obvious to me that you knew it.) Just in case it helps, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

FWIW, I did a quick clone of the bitbucket repo to github: https://github.com/contextgarden/context-mirror We can either ask Philipp Gesang (who maintains the bitbucket repo) to also push to github or I can set up a cron job to periodically mirror the repo. Aditya
Dear maintainers, could someone please add Aditya's github mirror at https://github.com/contextgarden/context-mirror to the Wiki frontpage? Currently there is only the bitbucket mirror listed. Thanks, Henri On 08/02/2016 05:12 PM, Aditya Mahajan wrote:
