[NTG-context] authoring for web and print - suggestions
Dear all, this time I have a question not concerning how to ship ConTeXt in Debian or so, but very different. Does anyone have experience with authoring for web and print. I.e., we want to maintain only one format and generate both web pages and printed documentation from it. Is there intrinsic or through addons support in ConteXt for this? Any suggestion would be greatly welcome Norbert PREINING, Norbert http://www.preining.info JAIST, Japan TeX Live Debian Developer DSA: 0x09C5B094 fp: 14DF 2E6C 0307 BE6D AD76 A9C0 D2BF 4AA3 09C5 B094 ___ 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 : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

Can someone please update this wiki page?
The new package
context-modules
is now in Debian unstable. So people should install
context context-modules
and if they want
context-nonfree context-doc-nonfree
(the last two might be horrible out of date, sorry)
By now MarkIV is not fully integrated, mtxrun --generate is not run
automatically, but I want to add this in future to the tex-common
trigger action of mktexlsr.

Not quite correct:
- currently context and context-non-free are in conflict, both ship
koeieletters.map, will be fixed soon with a new version of context
- I am uploading a new package
context-modules
now that should ship all the context modules that are in TeX Live
but notex-zh-cn and top-ten since we don't have license statements
for them.

In that case one should better run mtxrun instead of luatools (they

Ahhh ... I guess that needs some divine inspiration to know ...
And yes, texmfcnf.lua should be carefully designed to match the
structure of texmf trees in debian.
Of course, looking into it I graasped that now.
Why on earth can mtxrun not simply load the main texmf.cnf like
any other program in the TeX world and initialize the values from
there I ask myself.
I am slowly giving up on ConTeXt. It is changing in arbitrary directions
far too often, and still things like multi-user support are not
here since ages. I know, it is primary Hans' system and it has to
work primarily on his computer, but that means that distributing
it within any distribution system is plain pain :-(
All that of course relates only to MkIV. I guess I will just add
one sentence to the README.Debian:
MkIV is not suppored on Debian. If you know how to set it
up you can do it yourself and educate the maintainer,
otherwise simply use MkII or the ConTeXt minimals.
Sad but true.

Now it is such a bizarrely improbable coincidence that
anything so mindboggingly useful could have evolved purely
by chance that some thinkers have chosen to see it as the
final and clinching proof of the non-existence of God.
The argument goes something like this: `I refuse to prove
that I exist,' says God, `for proof denies faith, and
without faith I am nothing.'
The Babel fish is a dead giveaway, isn't
it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you
exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't.

But it is placed NOT alongside the ls-R files, right? well, TEXMFSHARECACHE=yes makes sure that it is put in the same path as the ls-r file Ah, ok, that is with the new context you created today. No, didn't test this till now ;-) First I guess I need an updated luatex you said. no, not the trees, but if one uses a font, say lmroman10-regular.otf, then the 'converterd/prepared/whatever' datatable is cached so only that file ends up in the cache (flat structure, so, when one needs lmroman10-regular.otf, i first look in the cache (no database needed) for a tmc/a file, if not present i generate one, using the otf file from the normal tree, looked up in a kpse like way) [...] - preprocessed font data cache so that loading the stuff is done faster indeed, only at runtime, so normally in the users path someplace Hmm, I still don't get it. In all this processing, is there a job depending thing contained? I thought extracting all those tables etc can be done independently of all jobs (and will help all jobs). Anyway, I got it. So this is not a bad thing at all to have this stuff generated at job running time, so we (integrators) don't have to worry about it. Only finding all the files is important for a start, so ls-R replacement. $ ls -l ~/luatex-cache/context/f7d1b3c25487ab1e1035aff1c53b90da/formats/ -rw-r--r-- 1 norbert norbert 5669003 2007-10-03 14:07 cont-en.fmt -rw-r--r-- 1 norbert norbert 38786 2007-10-03 14:07 cont-en.log -rw-r--r-- 1 norbert norbert 159484 2007-10-03 14:07 cont-en.lua -rw-r--r-- 1 norbert norbert 112438 2007-10-03 14:07 cont-en.luc $ So the format is placed in some strange ;-) place under luatex-cache. hm, also with the new version and the env var set? here it nicely goes to texmf-linux/web2c/luatex Probably an instance of get the new beta, btw, where do I get it, from the usual download place? Or is there something else for betas? - formats??? what is saved for this a cont-en.fmt as well as a cont-en.luc file, the format and it sstub Yes of course, but what needs to be cached here but the sole information that the file exist? (ie updating ls-R/cache) But all of this is somehow static. On a normal system a normal user shouldn't have the necessity to change anything of the above. That should be done at install time of the respective stuff. no, the font cache is not pregenerated at all, think of it like this: - luatex loads otf font (takes time) - provides it as table to mkiv (takes more time) - mkiv adds a few things, preprocesses the font a bit - then saves it as table (compiled) so that loading goes in an eyeblink Ok, so after the first processing later jobs will have access to these tables in a blink. Ok, don't mind. Good for me ;-) No need to worry about this. Furthermore, the cache could be used (no idea whether this is true) for: - single job caching of data wouldn't it be better to keep generated files like this in the cwd, like .aux, etc files we're talking of megabytes here Are these megabytes kept and are they useful for later runs? If yes, then it is ok to put them in a separate cache (I assume the stuff is useful, it is the font stuff). What was the reason to do the hashing somewhere else but add the md5sums etc for these trees? lengths of paths and such; i run luatex on the unix web/etc servers and have multiple trees in parallel, so now i can with one variable changed access all data; /temp/luatex/context/treeroot/whatever /temp/luatex/context/c:/blabla/tex/blabla/whatever does not work that well, so i hash the treeroot Hmm, but if the caches would be in TEXMFTREE/lcache/ then the only thing necessary would be a change of TEXMFCNF referencing other trees.

the buglet I saw, it mostly worked fine.
Isn't texlive in ubuntu? Maybe not in 6.10.
Well all the forces are necessary, tetex and context provide some same
files in /usr/bin
The buglet: The context formats that the package installed in
/var/lib/texmf/web2c/pdfetex are not found. For example, pdfetex
'cont-en' tries to run mktexfmt. So I made a symlink from
Strange, does your texmf.cnf contain the following TEXFORMAT line:
TEXFORMATS = .;$TEXMF/web2c/{$engine,}
/var/lib/texmf/web2c/pdfetex to /var/lib/texmf/web2c/pdftex and then
'texexec' worked fine on my current document (a 50-page mathematics
textbooklet).
(BTW, can you send me this file in private with all support stuff, I
need context test documents, I wont publish it ;-)
I'm pretty sure the problem arose because I now use pdftex 1.40.0,
which (I think) sets the engine to pdftex, even when it is called as
pdfetex.
Umpf, yes. Well. If you prefer to hack everything yourself you have to
expect bad things...
Not sure what the best solution is. The symlink is a bit of a hack.
THere is none. Stick with pdf(e)tex as shipped by tetex.
In the long run, it's good to get rid of the pdfetex/pdftex

engine. So until all surrounding programs are taught to use pdftex as
the engine, this problem will occur and maybe the symlink is the
solution.
All this will go into texlive-* 2006, as there is pdftex 1.40.0
Before I did the dpkg --force..., I was trying to simulate its effect
in a custom script. So I looked through the ctxfmtutil script and was
surprised to find that this texexec command (on line 38) worked:

Wasn't this a rather recent change in tex-common? In principle it would be

good if Ubuntu would ubdate their tex-common in 6.10 (AFAIK they have an

[NTG-context] debian context updates
Hi all! I have uploadedanother repetition, this time with new package splitting: package context: all the normal stuff as before package context-nonfree currently only the cowfonts package context-doc-nonfree all the pdf documentation from below, plus style.pdf and details.pdf which Hans suggested.

ConTeXt is a typographical engine written in the typographical computer language TeX. ConTeXt provides you with a convenient way to encode documents in a structured way and to typeset these documents in various ways on paper, computer screen or web site. . The main difference between ConTeXt and LaTeX lies in the fact that LaTeX was created with the idea of separating content and presentation to such an extent that the typical author would write their content and then use a style file created by someone else to provide the visual presentation. . ConTeXt, on the other hand, retained the idea of separating content and presentation, but was created with the idea of being used for books, where each book tends to have a different layout, and so the expected end user is the person doing all the layout. Thus, it's designed to provide a vast amount of flexibility for layout in a way that can be fairly easily defined without needing to write a package . This package also contains MetaFun. MetaFun (a superset of well known MetaPost) is a powerful system for vector graphics that is fully integrated into ConTeXt, but also usable as a stand alone product. . MetaFun is not for interactive drawing applications and not for free hand drawings. Its strength lies in the ability to enhance the document layout with highly accurate graphic elements.

Again, after all the helpful comments from Taco, Hans, Mojca, Aditya, I have redone all the packaging: context: everything but the cow fonts and the tipsandtricks.pdf context-nonfree: cow fonts a long list of pdfs from the web site: aleph.pdf mfonts.pdfmtexfont.pdf show-dem.pdf show-pap.pdf cont-eni.pdf minstall.pdf mtexutil.pdf show-exa.pdf show-pre.pdf cont-enp.pdf mmakempy.pdf mtexwork.pdf showfont.pdf showunic.pdf eppchtex.pdf mp-cb-en.pdf roadmap.pdf show-gra.pdf tiptrick.pdf example.pdfmp-ch-en.pdf setup-en.pdf show-mag.pdf metafun-p.pdf ms-cb-en.pdf show-art.pdf show-man.pdf metafun-s.pdf mtexexec.pdf showcase.pdf show-not.pdf So I hope this should give a quite complete and useful base for context. I also extended the copyright file to include the statements by Taco, and some more remarks. Still I hope that one of the next releases of ConTeXt will contain some sort of MANIFEST.foobar as I suggested. The wording is also improved I hope, so now for all the Debian guys: Can you please take a look at the package, what you think, as I plan (as you see from the version number) to upload it soon. Usual location.

I am not a debian user so I will not comment on the package itself, but I fully expect a new release from Hans today, so perhaps it is better to wait a few hours before uploading. Ok, thanks a lot. May I ask you something about copyright: For proper inclusion I really need to know the copyright not only of the files in cont-tmf, but aslo in the others, cont-ext, cont-fnt, cont-img. Is there any chance to get a statement of them beign DFSG compatible? Otherwise I have to exclude some of it and put it into something like context-nonfree.

It is ok this way, not many people will get it from experimental anyway, but I want to have it around for testing, and better early adoption then late work. The point is that there are people who don't want to compile things but still are able to test stuff.

Re: [NTG-context] ConTeXt installtion and Debian
Hi Taco, hi all!
I am trying to fix all the problems for Debian ...
Another thing Taco wrote was:
* TEXFORMATS as shipped with teTeX/TL is uncomplete: there is that
missing format-specific subdirectory. If you are not root, then
you have to create a local texmf.cnf to overrule the default
texmf.cnf. I have:
TEXFORMATS= .;$TEXMF/web2c/{$engine,}
because context's texexec pushes the $engine setting to the
environment, this works fine (Originally this was supposed to
be handled by kpathsea, but like I said, that never got off
the ground)
This change I have executed in the tex-common depot, it will not hurt
anybody.
* TEXFONTMAPS is also wrong: it makes pdftex (and dvipdfmx as well,
I guess) find the mapfiles for dvips before their own mapfiles
(those are shipped with ConTeXt).
I have:
TEXFONTMAPS.dvipdfm = .;$TEXMF/fonts/map/{dvipdfm,dvips,}//
TEXFONTMAPS.dvipdfmx = .;$TEXMF/fonts/map/{dvipdfm,dvips,}//
TEXFONTMAPS.pdftex = .;$TEXMF/fonts/map/{pdftex,dvips,}//
TEXFONTMAPS.pdfetex = .;$TEXMF/fonts/map/{pdftex,dvips,}//
TEXFONTMAPS.xetex= .;$TEXMF/fonts/map/{xetex,pdftex,dvips,}//
TEXFONTMAPS.dvips= .;$TEXMF/fonts/map/{dvips,pdftex,}//
TEXFONTMAPS =.;$TEXMF/fonts/map/{$progname,pdftex,dvips,}//;\
$TEXMF/{$progname,pdftex,dvips}/{config,}//
this works fine (but it is perhaps a bit too verbose).
Debian currently has:
TEXFONTMAPS = .;$TEXMF/{fonts/,}map//;$TEXMF/dvips//
What about this? I am not completely convinced about it since with
updmap we generate input file for all the different programs.
For Taco: I have NOT installed the dvipdfm map files, only those from
fonts/map/pdftex/context and fonts/map/dvips/context
Furthermore I have added all the maps in fonts/map/dvips/context to the
updmap config file and called updmap-sys.
So now I can call texexec on several documents without any problems and
all the fonts are found.
What is the problem with
- removing the dvipdfm maps
- generating lines for dvipdfm(x), pdfetex, dvips from the dvips config
files as done by updmap-sys
It would be great if we could straighten this out and get nice packages
for Debian rather soon.
Best wishes
Norbert

Hi all!
On Die, 24 Okt 2006, Norbert Preining wrote:
# texexec --make --all [--xetex | --aleph | --pdftex] formats
Where formats are the desired formats to run. The accepted list
at the moment is: the eight ConTeXt formats, in both long
(cont-en etc.) and short from (en,nl,de,it,fr,cz,
ro,uk), and mptopdf, and the metapost mems mpost and metafun.
Ok, I have rewritten the Debian context package so that it does the
following:
On installation/update time a script context-build-formats is called
which reads the file
/etc/texmf/context/formats.cnf
where all the formats to be build are defined. Currently my file looks
like this:
#
# This file defines which ConTeXt formats are build
#
{pdftex,aleph} {de,en,it,mptopdf}
Yes, it expands the curly braces.
On removal currently I don't do anything, because I don't know how to
know which files should be removed. But this shouldn't be to hard,
remove /usr/share/texmf/web2c/$engine/$format.*
Anyway, it is not very intellignet the script, no error checking,
nothing, but it runs.
What do you say:
- you ConTeXt people: concerning the format file, the way of updating?
- you Debian people: concerning the new way to define it?
The context-build-formats should be something like fmtutil(-sys) for
context. I didn't come around to implement the difference between the
-sys and the normal variant, but it should be easy, as in fmtutil-sys.
Any suggestions?
BTW, here is the code for the script, it is short:
#!/bin/bash
# context-build-formats
export TEXMFSYSCONFIG=/usr/share/texmf
parse_line()
{
engine=$1
format=$2
eval set $engine
allengines=$@
eval set $format
allformats=$@
for e in $allengines ; do
for f in $allformats ; do
texexec --make --$e $f
done
done
}
OIFS=$IFS
IFS='
'
set $(echo x; sed '/^#/d; /^[ ]*$/d' /etc/texmf/context/formats.cnf)
; shift
IFS=$OIFS
for line
do
parse_line $line;
done
# eof
You see where I robbed the code ... fmtutil.

I was really surprised to see client-server code. Even localhost services can lead to privilege escalation if not careful. For example, /usr/share/texmf/scripts/context/ruby/texmfstart.rb contains the following. I'm not a Ruby programmer but the comment leads me to think there is a potential problem here: # danger lurking buffer = ' ' * 260 length = filemethod.call(filename,buffer,buffer.size) if length0 then return buffer.slice(0..length-1) It looks like PRAGMA is trying to reinvent kpsewhich, integrate internet explorer, launch editors, and do a whole bunch of other stuff I haven't figured out. texexec should be a simple wrapper around tex or pdftex but it works via texmfstart.rb which is 2541 lines of Ruby - and that's a lot of Ruby.

I am forwarding this to the context list for those who do not follow the debian-tex-maint. - Forwarded message from Norbert Preining [EMAIL PROTECTED] - From: Norbert Preining [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: context -0.5 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wed, 25 Oct 2006 12:35:48 +0200 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-15 Hi all! New package context 2006.08.08-0.5 Changes: - only create cont-en, mptopdf, and metafun formats on pdftex by default - make ctxfmtutil shut up in the default case - install perl scripts - config file is now /etc/texmf/context/config/formats.cnf Please remove the old config file if it is still present. (Suggested by Hans) - install formats into TEXMFSYSVAR=/var/lib/texmf for root calling and TEXMFVAR=~/.texmf-var for user calling PLEASE REMOVE THE OLD FORMATS UNDER /usr/share/texmf/web2 by HAND. Sorry for this, I was stupid! - add a check for the presence of the driving engine and issue a warning. - Some small stuff (man page, extend example in confif file) - End forwarded message - If you are a seasoned ConTeXt user on Debian, please give it a try and tell me about your experiences. Best is to send feed-back to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Best wishes Norbert --- Dr. Norbert Preining [EMAIL PROTECTED]Università di Siena Debian Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Debian TeX Group gpg DSA: 0x09C5B094 fp: 14DF 2E6C 0307 BE6D AD76 A9C0 D2BF 4AA3 09C5 B094 --- CRAIL (n. mineral) Crail is a common kind of rock or gravel found widely across the British Isles. Each individual stone (due to an as yet undiscovered gravitational property) is charged with 'negative buoyancy'. This means that no matter how much crail you remove from the garden, more of it will rise to the surface. Crail is much employed by the Royal Navy for making the paperweights and ashtrays used inside submarines. --- Douglas Adams, The Meaning of Liff ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
[NTG-context] ConTeXt installtion and Debian
Hi Taco, hi all! (I am sending personal copies since I don't know whether I can mail to the ntg list). First of all thanks for the explanations! You wrote: To actually update ConTeXt, assuming you already have a relatively modern context installed, you say # ctxtools --update and that fetches the zip file(s) from the pragma site (or a mirror), unpacks them, and updates the various perl and ruby scripts that come with ConTeXt. You have to be root for this when you want to update the global install, otherwise you have a few extra caveats, see below. After a succesful update, you have to run # texexec --make --all [--xetex | --aleph | --pdftex] formats Where formats are the desired formats to run. The accepted list at the moment is: the eight ConTeXt formats, in both long (cont-en etc.) and short from (en,nl,de,it,fr,cz, ro,uk), and mptopdf, and the metapost mems mpost and metafun. I checked the current zip file and the current ctxtools.rb script, it does nothing else than: - download the current zip - unpack - install the stubs from scripts/context/stubs/* - update the formats. So this is what we have to do in the Debian package, too. This is not hard, in fact most parts are already done. The only thing we have to do is create a way for the user to choose which formats should be generated. I will think about this. But for the search pathes, we will adjust the Debian texmf.cnf file, to get different engines loading differen cont-en.fmt files. Thanks.
