Pardon me, I should have been more specific… it's not the update mechanism of the minimals itself, rather the behaviour of the (minimals) distribution. In detail: 1. The distribution is obtained (in the standard way?) by first rsyncing minimals/setup/osx-64/bin and then running mtx-update.lua from there. After cleaning up the local bin directory and status-of-update.lua this leaves me with a bare minimals distribution for the beta branch and osx-64 platform. 2. The configuration files are adapted in such a way that TEXMFCACHE points to a single directory which does not exist yet. 3. The problem occurs once the command "context" is first invoked. Previous versions generated the luatex filename database on demand, built the format if missing and then proceeded with normal compilation. Now a kick-start with "mtxrun --generate" is needed before "context" can automatically build the format and start typesetting.
