Apparently sudo (root) user doesn't know about TeXLive paths, and you might not have sufficient rights to modify the files yourself. Are you the only user of your computer? Who's currently the owner of /usr/local/texlive? I would do the following (though it's *not* a general recipe): sudo chown -R yourname:yourgroup /usr/local/texlive (may take a while) and then repeat the steps without sudo. Possibly you want to change the owner back to root afterwards. rsync with sudo indeed behaves a bit weird, and without sudo you are probably not able to overwrite those files. Mojca PS: Honestly, I'm also not sure if texexec --make will use the right directory to store formats (if you update TL later, it might shield the system formats in some cases). Maybe I was using sudo fmtutil-sys --byfmt cont-en or sudo fmtutil-sys --all when generating MKII the formats (instead of texexec --make). But I don't remember. ___ 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 ___

This has been known before the TL freeze, but Hans and Taco were
afraid to break other things if they upgraded ConTeXt. The issue only
affects mkiv on MacTeX, but users of mkiv should update frequently
anyway.

manually, could you please share the method with us. I for one am not

There are many different ways to do that. I use(d) the following
(hopefully no typos):
# update luatex - single line
# you can also use osx-ppc instead of osx-universal
# alternatively, use /usr/local/texlive/2008/bin/universal-darwin
instead of /usr/texbin
# on other platforms change accordingly
rsync -av
rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/current/bin/luatex/osx-universal/bin/luatex
/usr/texbin/
# update context - single line (you can also use beta instead of last current)
rsync -av rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/current/context/current/
/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/
I have also created (but it's not really needed)
/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf/web2c/texmfcnf.lua
with
local conf = {}
conf.TEXMFCACHE = ~/Library/Caches/luatex
return conf
Of course you also need:
mktexlsr
texexec --make --all
texexec --make --xtx --all
luatools --generate
context --make

[NTG-context] Updating LuaTeX after MacTeX-TeXLive 2008 (again)
Dear ConTeXters,
I apologize for sending twice this message: since I did not receive it
myself, I thought it has been lost…
So here is my help request:
I just updated my TeX installation with the latest MacTeX-TeXLive 2008, and
since the version of LuaTeX included there was 0.25.0, I built a binary
version
LuaTeX, Version snapshot-0.29.0-2008091817.
Now the problem is that my usual procedure for generating mkiv doesn't work
and I couldn't fix the problem…
(That procedure used to work fine with the previous version of
MacTeX-TeXLive 2008).
More precisely
mtxrun --selfupdate
seems to work fine, but then
luatools --selfupdate
results in:
LuaTools | to be replaced old script /usr/texbin/luatools
LuaTools | unable to locate new script
LuaTools |
LuaTools | runtime: 0.082 seconds
and the command
luatools --generate
apparently works fine, since there is no complaints, as far as I can see.
Now when I issue the command:
luatools --ini --verbose --compile cont-en
luatools stops after executing some commands and finally I get:
LuaTools | using lua initialization file cont-en.luc
LuaTools | running command: luatex --ini --lua=cont-en.luc
/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/context/base/cont-en.tex \\dump
(/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/context/base/cont-en.tex
! I can't find file `context.tex'.
l.16 \input context.tex
Please type another input file name:
If I do give a complete path for this file, that is
/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/context/base/context.tex
(or for another one
/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/context.tex)
again luatools complaints about not finding the file syst-pln.tex… and so
on.
I should say that I execute also the commands
export TEXMFCACHE=/tmp
export TEXMFCNF=/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf/web2c/
export
TEXMF={/Users/kavian/Library/texmf,/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-config,/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-var,/usr/local/texlive/2008/../texmf-local,/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist,/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf,/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local}

export OSFONTDIR={/Users/kavian/Library/Fonts,/Library/Fonts}
export TEXMFSCRIPTS={$TEXMF/scripts/context/,$TEXMF/tex/context/base}
before the above.
Since I do most of the operations without really understanding what is going
on, I am sure I am doing something wrong… But what?
Thanks for your help…

Please type another input file name:
If I do give a complete path for this file, that is
/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/context/base/context.tex
(or for another one /usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/context/
base/context.tex)
again luatools complaints about not finding the file syst-pln.tex… and
so on.
I should say that I execute also the commands
export TEXMFCACHE=/tmp
export TEXMFCNF=/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf/web2c/
export TEXMF={/Users/kavian/Library/texmf,/usr/local/texlive/2008/
texmf-config,/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-var,/usr/local/texlive/
2008/../texmf-local,/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist,/usr/local/
texlive/2008/texmf,/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local}
export LUAINPUTS={/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/context/base,/
usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/scripts/context/lua}
export OSFONTDIR={/Users/kavian/Library/Fonts,/Library/Fonts}
export TEXMFSCRIPTS={$TEXMF/scripts/context/,$TEXMF/tex/context/base}
before the above.
Since I do most of the operations without really understanding what is
going on, I am sure I am doing something wrong… But what?
Thanks for your help…
Best regards: OK

[NTG-context] Updating LuaTeX
Hi,
I just tried to update context with ctxtools --updatecontext.
I receive though the following error while preparing the format-files
(cont-en.fmt)
(/Applications/luatex/tex/texmf-local/tex/context/base/core-inc.mkiv
! LuaTeX error ...luatex/tex/texmf-local/tex/context/base/core-
inc.lua:85: attempt to index global 'img' (a nil value).
\ctxluabytecode ...ode .. #1 .. str) end end }
\registerctxluafile ...{\the \luabytecodecounter }
\fi
l.21 \registerctxluafile{core-inc}{1.001}
Hm, what to do?
Kind regards
Willi

You need a binary of luatex 0.25.0. The best way to get one is to
download the right one for your platform from the minimals
http://minimals.contextgarden.net/current/bin/luatex/
Best wishes,
Taco
