Hi Hans, Taco, all!
I am starting to think about integrating context/mkiv/luatex into TeX
Live (and use as a test bed the Debian packages). Currently I see the
following problems:
- integration into fmtutil:
currently we build formats for cont-en/xetex, cont-en/pdftex, etc
based on the fmtutil.cnf syntax, ie calling something like
$ENGINE -ini -jobname=cont-en -progname=context -8bit *cont-en.ini
Now putting luatex as engine this doesn't work:
(/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/luat-env.tex
! LuaTeX error [string "luas[0]"]:1: attempt to index global 'input' (a nil
value).
<argument> ...mf.instance,"luat-env.lua","tex")) }
- integration into mktexlsr
see my other email about multiple cache merging, but to some up:
. cache should be read from more then one directory, eg from
TEXMFSYSCACHE and TEXMFCACHE (with usual override stuff)
. single cache updates should be possible:
luatools --generate $HOME/texmf
should generate the cache for $HOME/texmf in $TEXMFCACHE
Other things I realized as user:
- running texexec --lua test.tex generates the format in
~/luatex-cache/context/e027248d6557d124c703335e8a95ecd5/formats
but it creates it again and again.
- If I move the generated files from the above dir to
~/.texmf-var/web2c/luatex/
and regenerate the luatex-cache with --generate --verbose the next run
does not work:
LuaTools | using format name
/home/norbert/luatex-cache/context/e027248d6557d124c703335e8a95ecd5/formats/cont-en.fmt
LuaTools | no luc/lua with name
/home/norbert/luatex-cache/context/e027248d6557d124c703335e8a95ecd5/formats/cont-en
Best wishes
Norbert

SWANAGE (pl.n.)
Swanage is the series of diversionary tactics used when trying to
cover up the existence of a glossop (q.v.) and may include (a)
uttering a high-pitched laugh and pointing out of the window (NB. this
doesn't work more that twice); (b) sneezing as loudly as possible and
wiping the glossop off the table in the same movement as whipping out
your handkerchief; (c) saying 'Christ! I seen to have dropped some
shit on your table' (very unwise); (d) saying 'Christ, who did that?'
(better) (e) pressing your elbow on the glossop itself and working
your arms slowly to the edge of the table; (f) leaving the glossop
where it is but moving a plate over it and putting up with sitting at
an uncomfortable angle the rest of the meal; or, if the glossop is in
too exposed a position, (g) leaving it there unremarked except for the
occasional humorous glance.
