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.
