Re: [NTG-context] Re: Creatin metafun.mem on OSX
If you start i-Installer and go to the Preferences and you go to the Other tab you can set an automatic check for updates on i-Packages you have (Check packages for updates...). Already done. This creates a unix 'crontab' entry which is run at the time you have selected (e.g. every day a 07:00). This entry runs a helper program that checks the remote version of all your i-Packages and will report updated i-Packages via Mail. (Fine. How does this notification happen? Does he knows my email? Or am I asking something stupid?) The crontab tool takes care of this. You get mail as yourself on your system. Another obvious thing, but just to be sure. Using gwtex means for me typesetting from inside TeXShop with standard engine default. Right? Right (in 99.99% of the cases). Thanks a lot to all for the support So, know I'm waiting for updates They are already there. Hoever, I just noticed that people talk about newtexexec and that is a command and if that is indeed a new command it will not be available after the updated ConTeXt updater install.

You can set an automatic check for update for i-Packages in i-Installer after which you get a mail message telling you which packages have updated. The ConTeXt i-Package itself is updated automatically on the repositories if Hans releases a new version or a new beta. Which means that you'll hear about any ConTeXt update within 24 hours automatically. The ConTeXt updater is the only i-Package which is updated automatically on the repositories.

Am I right? if you use gwtex, it will happen automatically since gerben keeps things pretty up to date *Almost* automatic. As soon as Hans updates either the beta or stable version of the ConTeXt zip files, the next night (CET) the ConTeXt Updtare i-Package is rebuilt and distributed to the repositories automatically. You still need to install it yourself (it is i-Installer's philosophy that no action will be performed unless a human accepts it, complete automation without user intervention is a big potential security risk) If you start i-Installer and go to the Preferences and you go to the Other tab you can set an automatic check for updates on i-Packages you have (Check packages for updates...).

Andrea, what kind of installation are you using? Gerben's i-installer or fink or have you installed tetex on your own? If you want to find out where different files reside, run this command: kpsewhere mp-spec.mp on my system (Gerben's architecture), I get: /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/metapost/context/base/mp-spec.mp /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/metapost/context/base/mp-spec.mp The following comment is only valid for my redistribution: Normally, you would only have the second line (ConTeXt that is part of teTeX 3.0, which is roughly a year out of date).
