That is desperation! But I agree. Installing packages straight from source, not through the package mechanism, feels like I am messing up my system. Whereas via apt feels organized. An hour ago I put newer backports at the same spot: deb http://web.mit.edu/download/sanjoy/texlive-backports/ edgy/ deb-src http://web.mit.edu/download/sanjoy/texlive-backports/ edgy/ They are based on Norbert's latest Debian packages for 'unstable', which are slightly newer than the latest Ubuntu gutsy packages. I tested the backports slightly on an edgy 'system' (actually a chroot) and they installed fine and worked with the simple test file \starttext \input tufte \stoptext I also use them for all my tex'ing with no problems so far on my feisty laptop. The apt-get that I recommend, which is on the wiki too, is apt-get update apt-get install cm-super texlive-fonts-recommended context \ context-nonfree context-doc-nonfree Warning: on 'edgy' cm-super pulls in tons of texlive-lang-* packages, so have O(100MB) of disk space available for them. -Sanjoy `If we are fortunate, Republicans will complete their self-destruction before they extinguish the Constitution and destroy America.' --Paul Roberts, former assistant Treasury Secretary under Reagan ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
