Hi Mojca, is the server working again? I just wanted to mention that the garden hasn't picked up the latest beta yet, so if it's online again, maybe the syncing process needs to be triggered? All best Thomas

The distribution is currently in mirror mode only, serving files from Netherlands. Unfortunately rebooting didn't help as the system disk seems to have crashed and the admin at Jožef Stefan Institute promised to set up a new box during the weekend (hoping that no other major hardware components failed). I could theoretically set up the whole process on the Dutch server, but I would prefer to wait until this server gets up and running again as I'll be wasting quite some time making sure that things come back to normal.

Thanks for the heads up, Mojca! Don't bother syncing the Dutch server; this is not urgent, I just wanted to make sure that you're aware of the situation. Which you are. Good luck with the repair this weekend! Thomas

Hi guys, i am using mkiv with TeXnicCenter. There is an option to create a clean-up processor which deletes temporary files. Right now for me the options look as following: Executable: X:\ConTeXt\tex\texmf-win64\bin\texmfstart.exe Arguments: texutil.rb --purgeall This is from an old installation instruction from mkii and works great but it makes it necessary to install Ruby. Since I don't want to install Ruby if it's unnecessary, i'd like to know if there is a way to clean up files without mkii and Ruby elements. I thought it might be possible to use *context.exe* as processor executable for deleting temp files, but i wouldn't know the correct arguments. Sorry if I missed something obvious. Thanks in advance, Sebastian

assuming you run context mkiv: context --purge somefile.tex will cleanup afterwards or without file it will cleanup all left-overs (btw, the number of runtime generated files is not that large for mkiv: a tuc file for multipass, and a log file and of course the result pdf file) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks Hans, it works. But there is a problem. The way you described it, the *.synctex file gets deleted as well, but I think I need it for Sumatra PDF to sync. When I used texmfstart.exe and --purgeall this didn't happen. Any idea would be great. Thanks in advance, Sebastian Am 07.04.2016 um 12:12 schrieb Hans Hagen:

no idead .. that file is like a log file ... (basically onely the tuc file is not purged as it saves successive runs)
Thanks in advance, Sebastian
