Update ConTeXt 2004-12-06 for teTeX 2.99.4-beta: map files

Update ConTeXt 2004-12-06 for teTeX 2.99.4-beta: map files

[VnPenguin]

Hi all,
I have a running tetex-2.99.4-beta. Now I would like to update ConTeXt
to version 2004-12-06.
After comparing directory structures I see there is difference:

1. In ConTeXt all map files are in fonts/map/pdftex/context/*.map
2. In teTeX amm map files are in fonts/map/dvips/context/*.map

So my question is how I could update ConTeXt safely ? Which directory
structure I have to follow ? teTeX will continue to work if map files
installed in ConTeXt's structure ?

Thank you in advance,

Regards,

Quy NGUYEN-DAI

That's the wrong location. There is nothing pdftex specific in these
files, so the "syntax" is dvips, not pdftex. I have told Hans about it.
The level below fonts/map is "syntax" according to TDS 1.1.

The TDS tells us where to put those files and even though Hans does not
care much about dvips, I suggest that he moves his files. Some files
don't have a proper newline in the end, so they are not even proper
text files.  Thers is no non-whitespace difference between teTeX's files
in fonts/map/dvips/context and cont-tmf's fonts/map/pdftex/context,
so you can just ignore the files from cont-tmf.

So, I suggest that you

  unpack cont-tmf.zip in a temp directory
  rm -rf  fonts/map/pdftex/context
  rm -rf tex/latex
  cp -a * /to/your/texmf-dist

(teTeX has aliases for the files that context distributes in tex/latex,
so we don't need these files).

It works well !
Thank you so much for your very quick reply!

For the 2.99.5 release (just released), I had to figure out what to do
anyway :-)

Hi Thomas,

i'm a bit puzzled by this alias:

e.g., m-ch-en.tex says:

\ProvidesPackage{m-ch-en}[2004/07/30 package wrapper for m-ch-en.tex]

\newif\ifPPCH@PSTRICKS

\DeclareOption{pstricks}{\PPCH@PSTRICKStrue}
\DeclareOption{pictex}{\PPCH@PSTRICKSfalse}

\ExecuteOptions{pictex}
\ProcessOptions\relax

\ifPPCH@PSTRICKS
   \RequirePackage{pstricks,pst-plot}
\else
   \RequirePackage{m-pictex}
\fi

\input{m-ch-en.tex}

\endinput

so, i wonder what this is aliased to. The content of these files is 
suggested/provided by latex users (esp the provide, require, and options stuff);

Hi Hans,

> so, i wonder what this is aliased to.

$ kpsewhich m-ch-en.sty
/software/oss/Text/teTeX-3.0/share/texmf-dist/tex/generic/context/m-ch-en.tex

Oops... So, I should stop using these aliases and distribute the .sty
files instead.  Last time that I looked at these .sty files, they just
loaded the .tex files without any additional code.

I think that I have even told you some years ago that I am not
distributing the .sty files and that I am using aliases instead...

indeed; the currenr version are more latex compliant; i've forgotten when this 
change was made, but it must be a couple of years ago since i had to look into 
the files to see what was happening when you mentioned aliasing -)
