permissions in texmf/scripts/context/*

permissions in texmf/scripts/context/*

[Thomas A.Schmitz]

I'm wondering if this is a bug: I tried to play around with the 
texmfstart script, but couldn't get it to work. I think the latest 
cont-tmf.zip installs those files with wrong permissions. Here's what I 
got:

-rw-r--r--    1 tas           15k Jan  6 13:41 concheck.rb
-rw-r--r--    1 tas           25k Jan 28 09:28 ctxtools.rb
drwxr-xr-x    3 tas           102 Feb  6 21:00 exa
-rw-r--r--    1 tas           21k Dec 20 21:31 texmfstart.rb
-rw-r--r--    1 tas          6.5k Jun 14  2004 texsync.rb
-rw-r--r--    1 tas           23k Oct 15 19:15 textools.rb
-rw-r--r--    1 tas           13k Oct 27 18:27 xmltools.rb
drwxr-xr-x    3 tas           102 Feb  6 21:00 xmpl

same is true for scripts/perl/ Shouldn't they all have permission 755?

Not need IMHO if you run the script by using "perl script.pl". The
same for ruby :)

True, but that's not what mtexmfstart.pdf says...

i generate the zips on my windows, so there are no such permissions present in 
the zip; here, on linux, i just do a

   chmod -R 755 *

in the tex root path; after that, when updating, the permissions stay okay. Of 
course one can limit the x flag to the bin path, but i'm not that picky on 
permissions -)

if one uses texmfstart, you only need to set the permission of texmfstart in the 
  bin path; nowadays, my calls to script in the bin paths look like:

texexec ->

#!/bin/sh
texmfstart texexec.pl $@

that way i'm independent of anything funny that will happen with kpsewhich 
(since i only need to adapt texmfstart); think of recent changes in the script 
path and scriptpath location method;

btw, you can use texmfstart for more things, like

   texmfstart --direct scite kpse:texmf.cnf

this will launch scite and open the texmf.cnf file used by your current 
installation.

Re: permissions in texmf/scripts/context/*

[Thomas A.Schmitz]

Thanks for clearing this up. I was looking into texmfstart for 
precisely this reason: I have a linux (gentoo) system on another 
partition of my OS X box, and even though everything is exactly the 
same (except the binaries, of course), I always get "texexec.pl not 
found" when I run "texexec something." When I invoke "perl 
DARNED_LONG_PATH_TO_TEXEXEC.PL something," everything works. TEXMF.CNF 
and diretory structure is identical. Well, no big deal, I'll replace 
the texexec stub like you suggested.

All best

Hmmm. What exactly 'texmfstart showcase.pdf' does? It starts something 
(AR?) shows nothing and after that freezed my Win2K Command Prompt.

Is there some way how to close doc being opened in AR when running texexec?

on windows, it opens the document in acrobat (in the browser if --browser is 
given); so, i wonder what goes wrong

> Is there some way how to close doc being opened in AR when running texexec?

--autopdf should do that (make sure that the first time you do that, the doc os 
closed)

Ohh, there was some terrible state of AR. After closing AR  it works now.

? Something like:

   texmfstart --autopdf latin.pdf
   texmfstart texexec.pl --pdf --format=cont-cz latin.tex

but starting Perl with this way makes wrong with .pm paths, please see 
log bellow. Running

   perl c:\TeXLive\texmf-experim\scripts\context\perl\texexec.pl --pdf 
--format=cont-cz latin.tex

directly (Active Perl distr) is OK.

can you update your perl installation? strict.pm should be in there

I think the problem is not in absence of strict.pm in my (not so old - 
summer 04) Perl distr. It is present in lib/strict.pm I can use strict 
in my scripts as well ;-)

Problem occures when I run perl via texmfstart. And since it is exe on 
win I do not known how and with which environment is the Perl called inside.

More over, you are using strict in texexec.pl atc., and both it works well:
texexec.exe file.tex
perl texexec.pl file.tex

Here is a very small script. Save to a file and run texmfstart on it.

# envtest.pl
map { print "INC .= $_\n" } @INC;
map { print "$_ = $ENV{$_}\n"; } keys %ENV;

texmfstart does not inherit @INC array?

So it would seem... that makes no sense? There is an environment passed
on, though, and PATH does not look crippled, so my guess that there was
a problem with %ENV was obviously wrong.

I do not have a Windows machine to do further testing, sorry.
