I've been having trouble with ConTeXt in Gentoo (via the texexec executable), and discovered that it was because Gentoo has texexec version 1.9, while the newest version is 3.2(!). Since Gentoo gets its ConTeXt via teTeX (at least as far as I can tell), I thought maybe the old ConTeXt was due to slow updates in teTeX...
However, when I query Portage, I find that the latest version of teTeX available (which is also the one I've got installed) is 1.0.7-r12. But the newest version available from the teTeX site (btw: The home page is http://www.tug.org/teTeX, not http://tug.cs.umb.edu/tetex/, as the ebuild script says) is 2.0.2(!) Is TeX a low priority, should I have used something other than teTeX, or are the newer versions considered unstable or something? Or, more to the point, what would be the easiest way for me to get a more recent ConTeXt? Write an ebuild script myself, with a separate slot or something? (Sounds scary...) (And there is always the possibility that I've missed something obvious here...) Thankful for any help, - Magnus -- Magnus Lie Hetland "Nothing shocks me.
