I would like to test the new alpha code but am a bit confused as to what exactly to install and how. 1. "on the website", is this indeed http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/current/cont-tmf.zip as http://www.pragma-ade.com/download-3.htm currently lists as (not available)? Should this be unzipped under /usr/local/context.alpha/tex/texmf-context for example? 2. "no beta as mkiv needs the trunk version of luatex" Does this mean http://foundry.supelec.fr/gf/download/frsrelease/350/1332/luatex- snapshot-0.42.0.tar.bz2 to be compiled and then somehow installed into the local tree. >>From luatex-snapshot-0.42.0/INSTALL > Post-compilation installation should be a simple matter > of copying the executable to a normal place for web2c > binaries and generating the desired formats. > > You may want to install the executable under the names > 'texlua' and 'texluac' as well (create a copy or symlink) I currently work with the contextgarden minimals. Under the minimals, these are located at tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/texlua tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/texluac on my machine. Sorry for such basic questions.
