ConTeXt and TeXlive 2008

ConTeXt and TeXlive 2008

[Marcin Borkowski]

Hi all,

I've just downloaded and installed the long-expected TeXlive 2008:).  My
question is: is it's ConTeXt up-to-date?  What about ConTeXt upgrades?
(TeXlive 2008 can upgrade it's packages automatically; does anyone know
how long will it take for new ConTeXt versions to propagate to TeXlive?)
It would be much more convenient not to have two distinct TeX
installations: one for LaTeX and one for ConTeXt...

Thanks in advance

Do you need MKIV?  I fear it is too new and changing too
rapidly for TL, even with updates.

I've just been trying to get my ConTeXt stuff working, so while I can't
comment on the plans of ConTeXt's authors, I can tell you what
works for me, namely, MKII but not MKIV   The latter says it can't
find lm fonts.

The version of luatex in TL2008 is:

$ which luatex
/usr/local/texlive/2008/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu/luatex
$ luatex --version | head -1
This is LuaTeX, Version snapshot-0.25.4-2008081616

>From the linux minimals:

$ luatex --version
This is LuaTeX, Version snapshot-0.28.0-2008071500

MKIV from minimal is working for me (Fedora 8 32-bit).
The environment modules system makes it easy to
have multiple TeX systems installed.

The current luatex version (from <http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/luatex>)
is 0.29.

No, but you can update it yourself.

I have promissed not to spend too much time for TeX, but there might
appear dedicated updates. Until then you can set rsync updates to the
existing or local tree.
