Hi, I want to update my minimal installation on windows to the latest alpha. Seems that just copying the files in the base folder of the latest alpha to the corresponding folder in the minimal distribution is not working. Should I do something else?

what do you mean by "not working"? btw, you'd better upgrade using context minimal's first-setup.sh On 1/11/09, Mehdi Omidali wrote:

change the --context= from stable to latest in your first-setup.sh and run it again. On Sun, Jan 11, 2009 at 9:19 PM, Mehdi Omidali wrote:

This is a faq, you need luatools --selfupdate mtxrun --selfupdate before content --make en Wolfgang

Hello, Just some basic feedback ... - GUI on Windows (written by Vyatcheslav) doesn't offer --context=alpha switch - There's nothing wrong with just overwriting the existing files with files extracted from PRAGMA; first-setup.sh doesn't do much more than that. - The luatools --selfupdate and mtxrun --selfupdate are not supposed to be FAQ items, but they are rather a flaw that should be fixed in distribution itself To Mehdi: luatools --selfupdate mtxrun --selfupdate luatools --generate context --make en If you ask me -- none of the first three commands should be needed, but then I'm the one to blame for the first two and for the reason why these are not fixed yet.
