Though I was able to download the latest ConTeXt beta without any problems,
my attempt to update my ConText-LMTX installation was blocked. The error
message was
*“mtxrun” cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified*
macOS cannot verify that this app is free from malware.
Safari downloaded this file on April 29, 2019.
I am not sure why this is happening and wonder if it would OK to copy
mxtrun from my ConTeXt installation and replace the version in my
ConTeXt-LMTX installation with it.

I looked into my options of the so-called Gatekeeper on my machine, and remembered that I have done the following: go to Apple menu -> Preferences -> Security & Privacy on the Security & Privacy, choose the tab General there choose, towards the bottom of that pane, under « Allow apps downloaded from: » choose the radio button App Store and identified developpers. Once this is done in principle you should be able to run the scripts install.sh or first-setup.sh and then run lmtx or context.

Thanks a lot for the report, but I'm tripple-confused now. First I thought that we would have troubles with the binaries as soon as GateKeeper was introduced (not sure which macOS version started causing troubles), but somehow there were none, which at least came as a pleasant surprise to me. Maybe this has to do with the fact that anything running inside Terminal has somewhat higher permissions than regular app bundles. (I know that Audacity doesn't allow recording unless you run it from the Terminal, for example.) What confuses me most though is how the beta can work, while lmtx doesn't. I have an impression that when you download something with Safari as opposed to downloading with rsync, Safari simply "attaches" something to the files automatically, marking them as "unsafe", and unzipping doesn't really help either. The difference between the usual context distribution and lmtx is that lmtx usually starts by downloading it from the web (and also transferring everything in a different way). > I am not sure why this is happening and wonder if it would OK to copy mxtrun from my ConTeXt installation and replace the version in my ConTeXt-LMTX installation with it. I didn't look closely, but if mtxrun is just a symlink to luametatex, can you maybe try to run rsync -av \ rsync://contextgarden.net/builds/luametatex/x86_64-darwinlegacy/luametatex \ some/local/path/luametatex to fetch luametatex and try to use that one? (You may try to make mtxrun a symlink to it, or its copy.) I'm curious if that will work. I don't yet dare to upgrade to Catalina (in some ways the OS is worse with each new version). If it doesn't work, we'll need to figure out how exactly to do the notarisation (including paying 100 USD per year, which sounds stupid enough from principle alone), and in any case we need to find a way to make lmtx work for everyone.

In macOS Catalina Apple introduced “notarization”, i.e. anything you install has to have Apple's blessing, otherwise it will refuse to install and show you a message that it is malware. Dick Koch, maintainer of MacTeX ran into the same problems, as he presented at TUG2019 and described in the corresponding TUGboat article: http://tug.org/TUGboat/tb40-2/tb125koch-harden.pdf > I'm curious if that will work.

I don't use macOS myself, but it seems that the quality of the latest release is absolutely abysmal. https://tyler.io/broken/ Cheers, Henri ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 11+ messages in thread

Then select ‘Open’ from the popup menu on the mtxrun executable. That will give you dialog with that ’This app was downloaded …’ error, but now with an extra ‘Open’ button on it. Click that, and it will start mtxrun once. Running mtxrun itself this ways is pointless, but it makes Apple start to remember that *you* trust this mtxrun binary, and from now on it can be used normally. On packaged distributed Apps you download from the web, you can also hold down CTRL while opening the App so you don’t have to do the Finder step, but I am not certain that works with command-line binaries (and cannot test any more since I already did the ‘fix’ above). It is a bit tedious, but sort of I see Apple’s point. Making it harder to run downloaded unsigned executables is probably a good thing.

Kind of what windows does -) Remembering your choice (but I think also doing some virus scan on the first run and/or download). Do we need to wikify these things? A page with "if this happens, do that" items? Or maybe some readme in the installer zips? I think one problem is that users have no clue (ok, tex will not be the only such app so in the end they will know and tex users are normally more in figuring-out-mode anyway).
