TeX Live 2019: attempt to call a nil value (upvalue 'isfile')

TeX Live 2019: attempt to call a nil value (upvalue 'isfile')

[Henri Menke]

Dear list,

I just installed TeX Live 2019 pretest and running context --make fails with

    error in callback: ...xlive/2019/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/mkiv/luat-cod.lua:194: attempt to call a nil value (upvalue 'isfile')

This can easily be fixed by replacing in luat-cod.lua

    local isfile = lfs.isfile

with

    local isfile = function(file) return lfs.attributes(file,"mode") == "file" end

This should probably be fixed before the release.

Cheers, Henri

Hm, it looks like the macro code hasn't been updated from 2018 yet, because
after fixing isfile it crashes when trying to load the old pdfe library.

Cheers, Henri

seems so.
I have just tested luatex 1.10 against the latest zip and it's all ok.

The latest ConTeXt has just been included yesterday and should be
available since today (some time after the usual nightly update cca. 5
hours ago + delays to finish the build and sync the mirrors).

So please retry.

Here's my attempt of compiling
doc/context/sources/general/manuals/luatex/luatex.tex

The first hint is that we should probably include more font
dependencies in ConTeXt scheme. I can take care of that if you have
further suggestions (other than dejavu).

I didn't check what the actual error could be (no time now).

I used darwinlegacy binaries.

( forget the time, it's a zero-optimized binary (fast to compile))

In general: at every new release I have complains about "how deadly slow is
texlive  installation".
On the other side , some  could wonder why *DejaVu* are not installed by
default regardless of  engine/scheme.

OK, strange. It works for me in TeX Live as well after I installed the
missing dejavu fonts. I didn't imagine that it would break with such a
strange error when a font is missing though.

It takes even longer for me with the binary from the distribution.

You could wonder that for all the zillions of fonts that ship with TeX Live.
Only CM is compulsory, the rest is up to user's taste.

I know, but  we use the minimals  as checkpoint;
on that platform 47.547 seconds for standard luatex means that something is
(profoundly) wrong.

On the mac, is that one run?

With luatex 1.10 (mingw 64 version), when i delete the tuc file so with 
multiple runs to get the cross ref and lists right, I get:

mkiv lua stats  > runtime: 13.676 seconds, 294 processed pages, 294 
shipped pages, 21.498 pages/second
system          | total runtime: 67.472 seconds

After that, single runs take around 13 seconds:

mkiv lua stats  > runtime: 13.227 seconds, 294 processed pages, 294 
shipped pages, 22.227 pages/second

so, so, on my laptop (which for sure is slower than yours) a 21 pps rate 
is normal
