As I understand it, Dr Preining is the Debian maintainer of the context, luatex, &c. packages, and so the .debs on his website are previews of the official packages. I'd installed and uninstalled his packages trying to make things work, but only the install I did today actually produced PDF output from "texexec --luatex hello.tex". I did, however need to generate the format files; Norbert, can you please include that in the ConTeXt package set-up? (As an aside, texlive-xetex depends on a version of libpoppler that my Ubuntu system doesn't yet have.) > I use Gusty and have a almost fully working mkiv.

Is there a test file with mkiv-only features I can better test my installation on? --Joel ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
