Hi all,
I am changing the way modules are installed in the ArchLinux aur package for
luametatex.
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/luametatex/
Earlier, I was just sym-linking to the modules installed by
context-minimals-git package (which I also maintain). However, some packages
there were out of date (in particular pgf/tikz). The new PKGBUILD installs the
modules directly from CTAN.
The following modules are installed by default:
filter, vim, visualcounter, pgf, pgfplots, circtuitikz
You can install other modules by adding them in the PKGBUILD.
I am not sure if anyone else actually uses this PKGBUILD to maintain an
up-to-date installation of LMTX. If someone does use it, and wishes to add more
modules to the default list, I'll be happy to do that.
Just curious ... we have this
mtxrun --script ctan --packages --pattern=tikz
which just gives info (at the time i made that the ctan api was bugged
as it mixed up xml and json keys, but i'm not sure if that was fixed of
became bug=feature for practical reasons)
i never came to a 'download option' because it was ot clear where to
download from .. are there zips?
Not sure if it's for every package, but should be just
"http://mirrors.ctan.org/"; .. data.ctan.path .. ".zip"
in scripts.ctan.details.
This corresponds the "Download" link on the CTAN page of each package, but
unfortunately, is not always in TDS format. For example, for pgf (which is locate at
/graphics/pgf/base), we have
https://mirrors.ctan.org/graphics/pgf/base.zip
which lists all tex related files in base/tex sub-directory. The CTAN page
(https://www.ctan.org/pkg/pgf) also has a field "TDS Archive", which lists:
http://mirrors.ctan.org/install/graphics/pgf/base/pgf.tds.zip
which is TDS compliant. The same is the case for circuitikz and pgfplots. So,
it safer to use
"http://mirrors.ctan.org/"; .. data.ctan.path .. "/" .. pkg_name ..
"tds.zip"
But, for context packages, CTAN does nto have the tds zips (I guess because the
default zip is already TDS compliant). For example:
https://www.ctan.org/pkg/context-filter
has the "download" link at the bottom but not the "TDS Archive" link.
In the end, since I am only installing 4-5 packages, it is simpler to input the
URLs but hand rather than write code to automate the logic.
sure, once you know what/where it's not that much work and I admit that
I only downloaded tikz for testing the 'loading bug' and a few fonts
during my tex life)
btw, when I fetched tikz a few days ago I could not fetch the zip from
the browser because it complained about some security issue but the
command line wget worked ok
another aspect of additional files is that I like to keep my system
uncluttered so e.g when I install fonts we just need the open type files
that I then install in texmf-fonts/fonts/data/<author>/* instead of
bothering about forther structure (in fact it doesn't really matter much
where files end up as long as there is some system behind it)
