I bet I was… mea maxima culpa.
Looks anyway like there are not many OBSD users dealing with ConTeXt…

Thanks Hans. I understand these are on

https://www.pragma-ade.nl/download-1.htm

I'll give it a try during my next holidays…

Best regards,

Wasn't it you who actually suggested to have the two versions?

OpenBSD binaries

[damien thiriet via ntg-context]

Hi,


I have two question regarding OBSD binaries:

1)
the building farm holds two binaries: current -stable version (or 
-release?) and the previous version.
Since upgrading OBSD with sysupgrade is very easy, but AFAIU works only 
to upgrade from version (n-1) to n where n is current relase number, I 
wonder if it wouldn't easier to maintain binaries only for the current 
version: keeping the OS up to date is strongly recommended.

https://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq5.html#Flavors

This might ease OBSD binaries management.
What do other OBSD users think about it?

2) AFAIU, sources are now available for downloading.
I understand it would be possible to make a package build for my system, 
so that I can upgrade OBSD without having to wait for the next binaries 
upload.
* binaries are quite small, so they should compile quite quickly. Am I 
right?
* I believe Mojca has already a compiling script. Where can I find it?
* which adress should I point to fetch the sources for compilation?

Best regards,

Damien Thiriet
