Well, I'm mostly interested if there is a plan to make some kind of 'release' for Minimals, or periodically to provide a kind of 'stable snapshot' 'cause rsync-update in not in 'sync' with NiXOS philosophy? Mojca I can also put a nixos package to the garden, but you need to Mojca prepare it (and possibly provide the proper binaries). Try to Mojca shuffle the files on your local machine and play with it to see Mojca if it works. Unfortunately, due to Murphy's law, the main server (no mirrors yet) is still down from the last week (it hit right before the holidays in Netherlands), so I'm waiting for a server to come back online (probably tomorrow). Then I can install NiXOS and play with Minimals. Mojca Would you like to provide sources or binaries? I'd like to provide both - source expression can go into NiXOS's svn trunk, while it would be nice to have binaries available at contextgarden. Mojca Man pages? Improve mtx-update.lua? Some other things as well, Mojca I'll try to move everything to the new server in some reasonable Mojca time. Thank you for reply. Let me move my laptop to NixOS first, then I plan to help having Minimals available for it.

No it uses source deployment, although it's possible to use binaries as well. NixOS puts all the build packages in separate folder and does not use standard /usr /lib /lib etc. folders, but one is assured that build deps are always correct, as well as ability to e.g. have multiple versions of some libs, atomic updates, easy to rollback to some previous 'generation'...see http://nixos.org/releases/nix/nix-0.11/manual/#sec-profiles Sincerely, Gour -- Gour | Zagreb, Croatia | GPG key: C6E7162D pgpYrDLvZiRTY.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ 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 ___

Taco == Taco Hoekwater [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Taco It sounds intriguing, but I have no time to look into it. Yes, it is, but it's better for you to wait a bit and do luatex.
