Hi everyone,
I've been using ConTeXt (MKIV) through TeXLive 2010 until now, but
wanted to try to use the Minimals installation. The installation went
fine, but the latest beta version was not able to compile my document
(I'll be posting about that separately).
What I'm confused about is this: Does only the beta-version have
MkIV/LuaTeX support? It seems that I cannot make the MKIV format if I
install one of the "dated" versions:
goerz@ophelia:~/context> ./first-setup.sh --context=2010.07.30
[ ... ]
goerz@ophelia:~/context> mtxrun --selfupdate
MTXrun | forcing cache reload
MTXrun | resolvers: loading configuration file
'/Users/goerz/context/tex/texmf/web2c/texmfcnf.lua'
MTXrun | resolvers
MTXrun | resolvers
MTXrun | resolvers
MTXrun | the resolver databases are not present or outdated
MTXrun | resolvers: to be replaced old script
/Users/goerz/context/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin/mtxrun
MTXrun | resolvers: using suffix based filetype 'lua'
MTXrun | resolvers: unable to locate new script
Is there a way of getting a version of minimals that has MKIV and is
equivalent to the TeXLive 2010 installation, so that I can compile my
document?
More generally, is there a way to switch to the beta version of a
specific date? Considering that new betas might break the compilation
of existing documents, there would have to be a way for me to tell
people "compile this document with version xxxx" -- even if it's just a
specific revision number. Otherwise, there wouldn't be any reproducible
way of compiling documents.
Thanks,
Michael Goerz

you can have trees like
/context-1/...
/context-2/...
/context-3/...
and initialize them on demand or run with
mtxrun --tree=/context-2 --script context .... .

Nice! I believe one has to take care of its PATH on his own or does
the context script takes care of that too?

either use the 'setuptex' script in the tex tree that you want to use,
or add the bin path of the tree you want

..only if somebody else would like to use my style:
I use following two aliases in my .bashrc to switch between two context installations.
alias ctx1='unset `env | grep TEX | sed "s/=.*$//"`; . /opt/context1/tex/setuptex; export PS1="# "; export OSFONTDIR="/usr/share/fonts" '
alias ctx2='unset `env | grep TEX | sed "s/=.*$//"`; . /opt/context2/tex/setuptex; export PS1="# "; export OSFONTDIR="/usr/share/fonts" '
I open console in directory with tex source files and run ctx1 or ctx2 command.
It's comfortable, flexible and easy IMO.
