This is something that I need to fix independently in the installation

properly on OpenBSD?

Shell scripting has always been a mystery to me. For what it is worth,
however, here is what I was able to come up with:
megaera$ cat test
echo "$SHELL"
echo "$KSH_VERSION"
SCRIPTPATH="$_"
OWNPATH=$(cd -P -- "$(dirname -- "$SCRIPTPATH")" && pwd -P)
echo $OWNPATH
megaera$ ./test
/bin/ksh
@(#)PD KSH v5.2.14 99/07/13.2
/home//Temp
It seems that OpenBSD uses public domain ksh also known as ksh88, as
opposed to the more common ksh93. I also found on the internet the
following code snippet for testing ksh versions:
case "$KSH_VERSION" in
(*MIRBSD*|*PD*|*LEGACY*) printf '%s\n' "$KSH_VERSION" ;;
(*) [ -z "$ERRNO" ] && printf '%s\n' "${.sh.version}" || echo ksh88/86 ;;
esac
All that said however, while it would be nice to have setuptex work on
OpenBSD also, I think anyone using it can set their own paths if they
have to.

[NTG-context] OpenBSD install broken
Greetings,
First, thanks for all the wonderful work on context.
Now, to the reason for this note. I recently tries to install context on an
OpenBSD 6.5 AMD64
system, but the install failed. Thanks to some helpful emails in the archives
from 2017 and 2018,
I was able to get this working by editing mtxrun and mtx-update.sh.
I include what I did below.
Thanks again,
Robert
1) Do the usual:
mkdir context && cd context
rsync -ptv rsync://contextgarden.net/standalone/setup/first-setup.sh .
./first-setup.sh
This will silently fail, because
bin/mtx-update.lua
bin/mtxrun
do not recognize openbsd.
2) Edit bin/mtxrun:
We need to define a "good" version of resolvers.platform(t,k)
At line 4049, there is a default definition. Replace it with:
function resolvers.platform(t,k)
local platform="openbsd6.5-amd64"
os.setenv("MTX_PLATFORM",platform)
os.platform=platform
return platform
end
3) Edit bin/mtx-update:
3a) In the table update.platforms add an entry for openbsd:
["openbsd6.5-amd64"] = "openbsd6.5-amd64",
I put this at line 198, after the entries for freebsd.
3b) In the function update.synchronize()
replace line 282:
local platforms = states.get('platforms') or { }
with:
local platforms = states.get('platforms') or {"openbsd6.5-amd64" }
3c) At the very start of local function add_collection(collection,platform)
line 417, add:
platform = "openbsd6.5-amd64"
Maybe something is broken on my system or these last two aren't
really needed, but this is what I did,
4) Edit first-setup.sh:
To avoid overwriting the files we just edited, comment out line 146:
# rsync -rlptv rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/setup/$platform/bin .
This may interfere with future updates.
5) Install for real this time:
./first-setup.sh --modules=all
6) Finally, the setuptex script gives me an error message:
megaera$ . /home//Context/tex/setuptex
/bin/ksh: /home//Context/tex/setuptex[163]: ${.sh.file}": bad
substitution
but it is not hard to set the path correctly:
PATH=$PATH\:/home//Context/tex/texmf-openbsd6.5-amd64/bin ; export PATH

[NTG-context] Margin text running off bottom of page
Greetings,
Is there any way to prevent marginal text from running off the bottom
ot the page? I can adjust the margin widths to prevent them from
running off the edges, but I cannot figure out how to do the same for
the bottom of the page.
\starttext
text.
\vskip 7.5in
text
\margintext{The book I am working with has marginal annotations that
act as a précis of the argument in the main text. Some of them are
several sentances long.}
text.

[NTG-context] Footnote markers
Greetings,
Is there a way to attach a footnote marker to the text following the
footnote, rather than to the text preceding? That is, given something
like:
Some text
\footnote{note.}
more text.
I would get (using an asterisk here, but that is not important):
Some text *more text.
rather than:
Some text* more text.
I am trying to re-typeset a couple of documents from circa 1600
where it is done that way.
Many thanks for Context. It is quite nifty.

Re: [NTG-context] Footnotes and Marginal texts
This is definite progress. Thanks. But I don’t see footnotes of type NoteC
when used inside a NoteB. Example:
==
\definenote[NoteA]
\definenote[NoteB]
\definenote[NoteC]
\setupnotation[NoteB][numberconversion=characters]
\setupnotation[NoteC][numberconversion=Romannumerals]
\starttext
Text for the \NoteB{B\margintext[scope=local]{Where am I?} footnote
\NoteC{C footnote C.} B.} main body.
Text for the \NoteA{A first footnote A.} main\inleft{I am here.} body.
Text for the \NoteA{A second footnote A.} body.
\stoptext
==
This seems related to an even simpler example from the Wiki
==
\starttext
This\footnote{Or that\footnote{Or possibly even the other.}, if you
prefer.} is a sentence with a footnote.
\stoptext

Footnotes of class 1 are “regular” footnotes in the main text body.
Footnotes of class 2 will be longer, and will occasionally be more than one
paragraph.
They, also, will occur in the main text body. To complicate matters, they
may have
marginal notes and footnotes (of class 3).
