New bib beta (release candidate)

New bib beta (release candidate)

[Taco Hoekwater]

Hi all,

I have finally uploaded a new beta for the bib module. I really
hope this is the last one before a normal release in a week or
two.

   http://tex.aanhet.net/bib/m-bib-beta-20060205.zip

I do not intend to do any more work on the still open limitations/
wishlist at this time, because synchronisation with the standard
context distibution is becoming an issue. Only the documentation
still needs to be fixed, and of course any fatal bugs that may be
in this beta.

Compared to the november 23 beta, the following things have
changed (many thanks to the people who pointed out bugs and
submitted fixes):

   * Make right-aligned labels work even if autohang=no
   * Use 'et al.' instead of 'et.al.'.
   * Additional headtext for cz
   * Keep whitespace after \cite with single argument
   * Fix broken \cite-with-braced-argument
   * Fix \usepublications not finding it's files
   * Fix compressed version of authoryear style
!!* Renamed the \url and \type to \biburl and \bibtype

Most of those are only fixes and should not bother you, but
watch out for that last one, it breaks compatibility.
I really had to do this, because \url and \type clashed
heavily with predefined context commands, but it invalidates
some existent bbl files, sorry.


Cheers, Taco

Yet Another Install Problem (contextlive)

[Maurice Diamantini]

Bonjour à tous,

I trying to update my ConTeXt (and LateX) distribution.
I use an unix style environment either on Macosx (tiger) or various  
linux
plateforms.

I used ConTeXt from Texlive-2004 (osx or linux) and it worked well.
Also (on powerbook) I used Context from tetex3 and it worked well too
(and it is smaller).

Now, I'd like to upgrade my context environment to the last one
(before I need to!) and try to keep in sync with it.

I first try to install the texlive-2005 but fall into problems
with ConTeXt font (awithout using any any customized fonts!).
(I tried the GUTenberg scheme, the full scheme and even de Context  
scheme)

So I'm now trying the standolone ConTeXt distribution which I thought
should be a robust and easy to maintain solution.
I read the wiki at the page :
     http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ 
Linux_Installation#Minimal_ConTeXt_distribution
and some various email archive on this list

So what is the commands I use:

#################################################################
     v=20060215
     s=/usr/local/pack/tex/LOCAL/src
     p=/usr/local/pack/tex/context-$v

     cd $s
     wget http://mirror.contextgarden.net/context/install/linuxtex.zip
     wget http://mirror.contextgarden.net/context/install/macosxtex.zip
     wget http://mirror.contextgarden.net/context/install/justtex.zip

     mkdir $p
     cd $p

     # CAUTION : don't use "unzip -a" which break the "mktexlsr" script
     # (probably because of numerous regex)
     unzip -q $s/justtex.zip
     unzip -qu $s/linuxtex.zip  ;# -u for overloading some existing  
files
     unzip -qu $s/macosxtex.zip

     # size is about => 153M

     chmod a+x $p/tex/*/bin/*

     . tex/setuptex
     type -a mktexlsr texexec ;# to verify

     texexec --make --alone

Error !!
! pdfetex.pool doesn't match; tangle me again (or fix the path).

#################################################################

So, my question is: what am I doing wrong??
Are the above commands suposed to work as is?

Thank very much for any help

Maurice,

there is indeed a problem with tl 2006 : some lm related filenames were 
changed

just take the zip from the website

seems like you have the wrong pool file

can you try newtexexec?  

how many pool files do you have on your system?

Which zip from which website?
You mean some more recent texlive from
    http://www.tug.org/ftp/texlive/Images/ ?
Or the context zips from the pragma site ?

texmfstart texexec --make --alone
    ! pdfetex.pool doesn't match; tangle me again (or fix the path).

So same error but a pdftex is created in the current directory
(just above the main tex ConTeXt directory)
But the above "texexec --make --alone" seams to create file
in the "texmf-macosx/web2c" directory

> seems like you have the wrong pool file

texmfstart newtexexec --make --alone
    ...
    ! pdfetex.pool doesn't match; tangle me again (or fix the path).

This commande create a pdftex directory in the current directory as  
above.
So I change dir into "texmf-macosx/web2c", redo the texmfstart but
get the same result.

> how many pool files do you have on your system?

I have several "pdfetex.pool" because I have tetex (from fink which  
work)
texlive-2004 (which worked but is unused) and texlive-2005 which doen't
work. But neither of these TeX distribution are in my path during  
these trys

   type -a texexec latex
   texexec is /Users/diam/live/local/pack/tex/context-20060215/tex/ 
texmf-macosx/bin/texexec
   bash: type: latex: not found

   cd texmf-macosx/web2c
   mv pdfetex.pool pdfetex.pool.bak
   texmfstart newtexexec --make --alone

      ! I can't read pdfetex.pool; bad path?

So i seem it is the right pdfetex.pool file
      -rw-r--r--   1 diam  uma   36906  8 fév 09:52 pdfetex.pool.bak


On more try : I stole the pool file from the linux tree to the macosx  
tree
   cp -p ../../texmf-linux/web2c/pdfetex.pool .
   texmfstart newtexexec --make --alone

... and the formats is creaded !! ...
... But I can compile any context file !?

So it mean the macosx pool file is broken?
