[NTG-context] The problem of updating context manually using cont-tmf.zip

2008-09-17 Thread Jianning Dong 
Hello everyone.

I'm using TeXLive2008, and I have just updated my ConTeXt
for Chinese supporting using the file downloaded from
http://mirror.contextgarden.net/context/current/cont-tmf.zip.

I just unzipped it into texmf-local and execute the command:
   texmfstart texexec --make --all

I think everything is OK, but the problem comes. The version of ConTeXt
is still 2008.05.21 15:21:

context --version

MtxRun | main context file:
/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/context.tex
MtxRun | current version  : 2008.05.21 15:21

I don't know the exactly meaning of main context file. I think it should
be the file I just
unzipped into /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local. The version of ConTeXt should
be 2008.08.05.

Anyone can help me updating the ConTeXt?

The problem seems to be the order in which TeX searches and uses the  
various TEXMF trees. Can you post the output of

kpsewhich --expand-var='$TEXMF'

and of

kpsewhere context.tex

2008-09-17 Thread Jianning Dong 
Now I'm using ctxtools to update automatically on another machine,
 but the error occurs:
$context --version
Should I create the cache path /home/ben? [yes|no] [no] yes

fatal error: there is no valid (writable) cache path defined

I'm sure that /home/ben is a writable directory, so I think it's a bug.
Both ctxtools and my hand cannot handle the updating job correctly.
Perhaps the only way for me to use newer ConTeXt is installing the
ConTeXt minimal.

if you're on unix, you need the latest luatex (the unix version had a 
bug with regards to interpreting the permission bits)

Excuse me, I wasn't paying attention. You're mixing two things here.  
 From your earlier mail:

 I just unzipped it into texmf-local and execute the command:
texmfstart texexec --make --all

This creates mkii formats.

 context --version

 MtxRun | main context file: /usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/ 
 context/base/context.tex
 MtxRun | current version  : 2008.05.21 15:21

This uses mkiv. If you want to use mkiv, you need to update the mkiv  
database as well:

luatools --generate

and then possibly remake the mkiv format manually with luatools --ini  
--compile cont-en

Thank you all.
As Hans said, it's a bug of luatex. I should update it first.

You also need to run sudo texhash (sudo mktexlsr) before creating mkii 
formats.

Thank you, Aditya.
I have updated successfully after the update of luatex.
Now I have generated mkiv successfully. I think mkiv is better.
