[NTG-context] tikz + lmtx
Hi all,
For a few months now, all features of tikz have not been working with LMTX.
After help from Hans and a bit of trial and error, I think that figured out
what was going wrong with the catcodes in m-tikz: Since the texcatcodes are
different from what tikz expects, the catcodes have to be set inside
\starttikzpicture (in addition to before the loading of tikz files, which was
already being done).
I am attaching the working m-tikz.mkxl file.
I have tested this on my course notes, which make extensive use of simple tikz
block diagrams and pgfplots graphs. Perhaps others who were having issues with
tikz could test if this fixes everything and, if so, we can add this to the
distribution.

[NTG-context] LuaMetaTeX doesn't find files when symlinked
Hi Hans,
With the LuaMetaTeX-based ConTeXt wrapper, it's not generally possible
to run ConTeXt from a symlinked binary in another directory. This shows
up if someone makes symlinks in "/usr/bin" so that they can avoid adding
anything to their $PATH.
If you make run a symlink to the LuaMetaTeX-based ConTeXt wrapper, it
looks for texmfcnf.lua relative to the symlink location, not the symlink
target. With the old LuaTeX/kpse-based wrapper, the script would look
for texmfcnf.lua relative to the symlink target.
I know that my description above is terrible, so here's a demo:
$ bin=$(mtxrun --expand-var TEXMFOS | head -1)/*
$ cd $(mktemp -d)
$ ln -s $bin/luatex $bin/luametatex $bin/context $bin/context.lua
$bin/mtxrun $bin/mtxrun.lua .
$ ./context --nofile
$ ./context --luatex --nofile
Running the above commands used to work with the old LuaTeX/kpse-based
wrapper, but it doesn't work any more. I was able to ""fix"" this by
adding the lines
if os.selfpath then
environment.ownbin = lfs.symlinktarget(os.selfpath .. io.fileseparator
.. os.selfname)
environment.ownpath = environment.ownbin:match("^.*" .. io.fileseparator)
else
environment.ownpath = kpse.new("luatex"):var_value("SELFAUTOLOC")
environment.ownbin = environment.ownpath .. io.fileseparator .. (arg[-2]
or arg[-1] or arg[0] or "luatex"):match("[^" .. io.fileseparator .. "]*$")
end
to mtxrun.lua, right below the line
package.loaded["data-ini"] = package.loaded["data-ini"] or true
but this is obviously not a very good fix.
There are some threads with more details at:
https://tug.org/pipermail/tex-live/2023-March/049028.html
https://gitlab.com/islandoftex/images/texlive/-/issues/30
Those links only discuss TL, but I get the same issue if I make a symlink
to the standalone ConTeXt files.
Thanks,
-- Max

Re: [NTG-context] update
Hi Lynx, > * How can I be sure that the standalone version is the one being > implemented? It depends on what your $PATH is set to. On Linux/macOS, you can run $ type -ap context to list all the ConTeXts in your $PTAH. The first one in that list is the one that will be ran by default. If you want to always run the standalone version, then you'll need to make sure that your ConTeXt directory comes before your TL directory in your PATH. On Linux/macOS, you'd add something like export PATH="/path/to/context/bin/:$PATH" to your ~/.profile; on Windows, you can use the "setx" command. Googling something like "add location to path" will get you more specific instructions for your OS/shell. > * How do I update the standalone version Just run the installer again. On my system, I run $ cd /opt/context $ sudo sh ./install.sh > (I assume that, as of today, > it is already the most up-to-date version Correct. > if and when it is > required or desired to do so? You only need to update ConTeXt if a new update fixes a bug that affects you or adds a new feature that you want. Most updates are announced on the list, so you could just update whenever you see a new update. Or you could just try updating once per week. You could also just never update. Up to you. The general recommendation is to save an old copy of the ConTeXt folder before you update in case something breaks. I've never done this before though since I can usually patch the bugs myself, and I can always fall back on the version in TL if something is really broken. -- Max ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / https://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : https://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : https://contextgarden.net ___
Re: [NTG-context] update
Hello, Max: As suggested, I have installed the "standalone" version of ConTeXt alongside my full TeXlive installation. Now: * How can I be sure that the standalone version is the one being implemented? * How do I update the standalone version (I assume that, as of today, it is already the most up-to-date version--Yes?

This is correct in general, but this specific update *will* end up in TL2023 due to the engine changes that Hans mentioned. It's not in TL yet, but we're actively working on it, so it should show up within a week or so (hopefully). Correction: Luigi and I are still discussing how to make it work because there is some init order issue and we want to be sure that context (and its scripts) keep working. It would be sort of weird if context (where luatex originates) would stop working as expected. Keep in mind that luatex is also a lua engine. and I assume that the texlive team also has some tests to perform (apart from getting all platforms updated which for some is more work, like apple signing). The issue (disabling socket by default) is not that pressing as socket has been with us for right fromn the start) and security wise there are plenty ways tex can mess up your system if someone wants.
