Caramba! Tricky, tricky stuff. FYI, http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Installation_hints mentions, under the "Updating" paragraph, (after calling ctxtools --updatecontext) "then you have to regenerate the format(s)...", while you wrote > All it does is: > - download the zip > - unzip it > - make the formats I wonder, for the record, ... Is there any (installation) process which enables ctxtools to update ConTeXt without risking to [EMAIL PROTECTED]&X% it up ? Side-question: "But if you happen to update TL package" - what does TL stand for ?
