Hi,
ConTeXt Standalone[1] sets LUAINPUTS to:
.:{....}/tex/{context,plain/base,generic}:{...}/scripts/context/lua
while the recent version of pgfplots, stores a helper file pgfplots.lua at
texmf-modules/scripts/lua/pgfplots/pgfplots.lua
Therefore compiling a context document with pgfplots results in the
following error:
! LuaTeX error <\directlua >:1: module 'pgfplots.lua' not found:
At first glance, ConTeXt's value of LUAINPUTS seems reasonable: Lua files
that are part of ConTeXt macro package should be stored in either
tex/context or scripts/context; Lua files that are part of modules that
can be used by all macro packages (like pgf and pgfplots) should be stored
in tex/generic.
pgfplots assumes that files that are part of scripts/lua will be searched
by ALL macro packages. This appears to be incorrect. According the the TDS
(http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/tds/tds.html#Scripts) the scripts
directory is meant for "platform-independent executables".
The pgfplots.lua file is not a platform-independent executable. It is
clearly meant to be used by the pgfplots package. Won't it be better to
place it in tex/generic subdirectory so that it can be searched by all
macro packages?
Thanks,
Aditya
