regenerating formats

regenerating formats

I downloaded the latest ConTeXt and tried regenerating the  
hyphenation patterns
and formats (to get hyphenation with Thomas’ Greek module). The first  
step
	texmfstart ctxtools --pat
was successful. But
	sudo texmfstart texexec --make --all
(which worked with the last ConTeXt installation)
and
	sudo -H texmfstart texexec --make --all
failed with the error message
	sudo: texmfstart: command not found.
Fortunately,
	sudo texexec --make --all
still works, so life goes on.

Still, why is this happening?

Does it matter that I have the line
	alias texmfstart='ruby /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/scripts/ 
context/ruby/texmfstart.rb'
in my .profile rather than an executable version of the texmfstart  
script in my $PATH?

If it does, is there a way to set things so that texmfstart is  
automatically available to the administrator and user
whenever a Terminal session is begun?

Hello Alan,
I doubt, that an alias is inherited by the shell of sudo.

Here is one way, how to set up the ruby scripts without touching the
ConTeXt-texmf tree (extracted from my tetex.spec in
http://pmrb.free.fr/work/OS/ConTeXt/tetex/):

mkdir -p /opt/teTeX/ruby-bin
install texexec /opt/teTeX/ruby-bin
ln -s ../texmf-context/scripts/context/ruby/texmfstart.rb \
	/opt/teTeX/ruby-bin/texmfstart
for i in `unzip -l cont-tmf.zip | \
	sed -nre 's_^.*scripts/context/ruby/([^/]+)\.rb$_\1_p'`; do
	if [ "$i" != texexec -a "$i" != texmfstart ]; then
		ln -s texexec /opt/teTeX/ruby-bin/$i
	fi
done

And these 2 lines in the file "texexec":
#!/bin/sh
exec texmfstart `basename $0`.rb "$@"

Then, /opt/teTeX/ruby-bin must come before the normal teTeX-bin in PATH.

Cheers, Peter

Thanks, Peter! This is very helpful and much appreciated.

Yes -- sudo doesn't know about shell aliases, it's trying to find an 
executable file named texmfstart in your PATH.

Yes, by saving the following script as texmfstart in /usr/local/bin or 
wherever is appropriate:

#!/bin/sh
exec ruby 
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/scripts/context/ruby/texmfstart.rb 
"$@"

(Everything from 'exec' to '"$@"' should be on a single line.)

If you're using sudo while logged in as yourself (i.e., not root), this 
texmfstart script can be anywhere in your PATH.
