new release

new release

[Hans Hagen]

Hi,

Today i'll upload a new release. Highlights:

- some fixes/extensions discussed the last few weeks
- xetex support adapted to using xdvipdfmx
- ctxtools --update which will update your local context
- an update feature in scite (can be used a example for other editors)
- an integrated mpto (more robust that the binary approach)

(btw, use textext instead of btex .. etex when possible)

Taco will undoubtely give mnore details later. 

Keep in mind that you need to change the stubs: 

- preferable use texmfstart to launch scripts
- texmfstart itself can be stubbed if needed 
- there is a ../scripts/context/stubs path in the zip

Hans et al,

I don't understand the word "stub."

What are ctxtools?

What is meant by an update feature in Scite? Where are context  
features in scite discussed? For example, Hans let me knoow about Ctrl 
+F12 for compiling my figure library, but that's not on any of the  
menus of scite. What else is cool but hidden?

Some naive thoughts....

Do people still use

draw "string" infont fontname

Is it possible to provide a metapost package so that "...." defaults to 
textext?

For most graphics, I want TeX to do the typesetting. Using btex 
... etex or textext(...) for everything makes the source look ugly.


Something less drastic. Is it possible to define macros, say LABEL such 
that

LABEL("a string", origin)

is same as

label(textext(a string), origin)

I do not understand metapost well enough to  know if a macro can 
handle all the cases like

LABEL("a string" scaled 1.5, origin)

and so on.

Hi David,

I have no time right now to write the release notes, I will do
that in the morning (mine, that is). I'll keep your questions in
mind.

Cheers, Taco

Hi Hans,

just downloaded the new release and regenerated the formats. Will play
with it later. For the time being just one question: the stubs in
scripts/context/stubs/unix and .../mswin seem to be identical; is that
what you meant? I doubt that many unixoid systems will be at ease with 
.bat executables and c: paths...

Best

a typo indeed, you can correct it with: 

texmfstart --verbose --unix --stubpath=<yourbinpath>  --make all

Got big problems with the fonts that are no more found when using the ruby  
stuff. Since the unix stubs are crappy, I do this:

ruby /usr/local/share/texmf-local/scripts/context/ruby/texmfstart.rb  
texexec.rb --pdf typefile.tex

Hans,

another (big) problem with the new release. Unfortunately, I can't  
really say what breaks, but when I compile a file under the new  
release, I get hundreds of overfull boxes. I get hyphenation, but TeX  
doesn't seem to find the same break points as before. The same file  
compiles wonderfully with version 2006.04.27. Can I send a logfile or  
something?

Hope this message makes it to the list...

Seems that the unix texmfstart stub is missing.

Doesn't help, and the required map files are here for a while (eg:  
kpsewhich ec-base.map gives
/usr/local/share/texmf-local/fonts/map/pdftex/context/ec-base.map).

I tried to use the perl version, and now it tries to find stuff in dvipdfm  
fonts, which plants:

Warning: pdfetex (file  
/usr/local/share/texmf-local/fonts/map/dvipdfm/context/original-base.map):  
invalid entry for `fmvr8x': font file missing

It works if i remove (or rename) the dvipdfm directory.

What can i do to have ruby thing working, and pdftex fonts used instead of  
dvipdfm ones?

BG

indeed; the fastest method is:

cp texmfstart.rb  .../bin/texmfstart

or make a  stub that directly points to your copy of texmfstart

your texmf.cnf file should contain:

TEXFONTMAPS   = 
.;$TEXMF/fonts/map/{$progname,pdftex,dvips,}//;$TEXMF/{$progname,pdftex,dvips}/{config,}//

as long as we have no uniform map file syntax, progs needs to be able to 
find their own map files

Ok, thanks, modifying texmf.cnf as you say fixes the path precedence. Now,  
is there a ruby debug mode to see why the paths are lost with texexec.rb?  
Or tests I could do to find out what happens?

For the ruby issue:

if I remove the TEXFONTMAPS environment setting from tex.rb, it works on  
my machine. I don't know if it can be a fix working on any platform:

     def fixbackendvars(backend)
         if backend then
             report("fixing backend map path for #{backend}") if  
getvariable('verbose')
             ENV['backend']     = backend ;
             ENV['progname']    = backend unless validtexengine(backend)
             #ENV['TEXFONTMAPS'] =  
".;\$TEXMF/fonts/map/{#{backend},pdftex,dvips,}//"
         else
             report("unable to fix backend map path") if  
getvariable('verbose')
         end
     end

Unix likes column separator (and often cannot stand windows one ;-). If i  
change ';' into ':' it works. BTW, why is this set? Isn't it up to  
texmf.cnf to configure this (like for texexec.pl)?

i looks like you're ignoring comments

This is the very top of cont-err.tex, the 'module header'.
If that does not look broken, then probably the file that
loads it does so while some really strange catcode settings
are in effect. The most likely cause is that you have an
invalid zip file or an error has occured during extraction.

If you cannot figure it out, try posting a few extra
lines from the log, just before 'cont-err loaded'.

Re: new release

Hans,

do I need to re-report that format generation with texmfstart  
newtexexec --make is still broken on OS X (I'll check on my linux box  
later)? I still get these monstrous paths like

TeXExec | tex engine path: .:/Users/tas/texmf/web2c//:!!/usr/local/ 
teTeX/share//share/texmf-local/web2c//:!!/usr/local/teTeX/share// 
share/texmf/web2c//:!!/usr/local/teTeX/share//share/texmf-dist/web2c// 
pdfetex

Re: new release

[Johannes Graumann]

Hans,

This ruby stuff has me confused to no end.
I'm compiling this document (which compiled just fine with the last
release - no changes since) with the following command:

ruby ~/texmf/scripts/context/ruby/texexec.rb PhD-Thesis.tex

For trying to figure out the version I do:

ruby ~/texmf/scripts/context/ruby/texexec.rb --check

And get 

TeXExec | current distribution: web2c
TeXExec | context source date: unknown
TeXExec | format path:
TeXExec | start of analysis
/home/balin/texmf/scripts/context/ruby/base/kpsefast.rb:659: command not
found: texmfstart texexec --help
/home/balin/texmf/scripts/context/ruby/base/kpsefast.rb:659: command not
found: texmfstart texutil --help
/home/balin/texmf/scripts/context/ruby/base/kpsefast.rb:659: command not
found: texmfstart ctxtools --help
TeXExec | end of analysis
TeXExec |
TeXExec |
TeXExec |
TeXExec |

Which is mostly related to the UNIX stubs not working no?

How do I now actually figure out what I'm running and whether it all got
rebuild correctly?

Thanks, Joh

Re: new release

Yes, that's strange. I just checked, and everything is golden on a linux
system (gentoo, but I gues the same is true for other linux distros). So
I really don't see why OS X should behave differently. Is there any
debugging info that I could provide? How 'bout the other OS X users (I
seem to recall there were quite a few of them): do you get the same
error?

~/texmf/scripts/context/ruby/texexec.rb --check' now, I get this error free
(but not informative) output:

TeXExec | current distribution: web2c
TeXExec | context source date: unknown
TeXExec | format path:
TeXExec | start of analysis
TeXExec | end of analysis
TeXExec |
TeXExec |
TeXExec |
TeXExec |

Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?

Strictly speaking it's not OSX, but i've a FreeBSD distro, which is close,  
and it works fine.

Are you sure you have the permission to write in any of these paths?

BTW, i find dangerous to do (kpse.formatpath method):

                 # locate writable path
                 if ! formatpath.empty? then
                     formatpath.split_path.each do |fp|
                         fp.gsub!(/\\/,'/')
                         # remove funny patterns
                         fp.sub!(/^!!/,'')
                         fp.sub!(/\/+$/,'')
                         fp.sub!(/unsetengine/,if enginepath then engine  
else '' end)
                         if ! fp.empty? && (fp != '.') then
                             # strip (possible engine) and test for  
writeability
                             fpp = fp.sub(/#{engine}\/*$/,'')
                             if FileTest.directory?(fpp) &&  
FileTest.writable?(fpp) then
                                 # use this path
                                 formatpath = fp.dup
                                 break
                             end
                         end
                     end
                 end
                 # needed !
                 begin File.makedirs(formatpath) ; rescue ; end ;

If none of the paths from formatpath is valid, we keep the whole concat  
path in this variable... that then is used to create a directory tree.  
Thomas, maybe that you have ugly directories created starting with an  
hidden directory named ".:". You should check that.

I went back and looked at the file - nothing obvious. I repeated my install
from the pragma server ... no changes.

The document in question compiled just fine before the update.

I append the log region around the 'cont-err loaded' part.

It looks to me like context found a cont-err.tex when it
should not have.

At the end of a job, ConTeXt looks for a file named cont-err.tex,
in the directory path that is set by the \setupsystem command in 
<jobname>.tmp. This file itself is generated by texexec, and the
directory value is based on "setuppath").

In your case, it looks like this directory entry is either
incorrect, or there is a bug in context, because it finds and
then loads the file while XML mode is still active.

I do not know how to proceed from here. Hans?

Cheers, taco

i can make the fallback '.' in that case, not that it helps much

The normal unix path separator '/'.  On OS9 it was ':'.

Nope, still get the same bizarre result. Path separator is a ":"

echo $PATH
/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Users/tas/bin:/usr/ 
local/bin:/usr/lib/portage/bin:/usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple- 
darwin-current:/Developer/Tools:/usr/X11R6/bin

So maybe Gerben's guess is right, and it's some hard-coded path thing  
in kpsefast?

texmfstart texexec --make --all

As you can see: while mltexlsr find the corret paths for updating,  
the format path given by TeXExec uses default values.

btw, concerning the texmfstart script itself: 

- on unix it's indeed best to make a symlink from texmfstart -> texmfstart.rb in the whatever-tree it resides in 

- on windows, one can associate the .rb suffix with ruby and add the context ruby path to the bin path, or use the 'exe' variant which can be located anywhere 

(texmfstart uses a few libe but when they are not found, it will enter stupid-mode and lack some features that probably go unnoticed)

I have appended this to core-sys.tex (just before the final '\protect
\endinput'; latest version of 11.5.) and used 'texexec.rb --make'.
I get the same error - even for a document containing nothing but this:

\defineXMLenvironment
   [document]
   {\starttext}
   {\stoptext}
\startXMLdata
  <document></document>
\stopXMLdata

How do we proceed from here?

\starttext

\startXMLdata
  <document></document>
\stopXMLdata

\stoptext

does that work ok? in your example, you stay inside a group and then end  the doc

\starttext 

\processXMLfilegrouped{somedoc}

\stoptext 

is ok, as is

  texexec somedoc.xml 

which wraps the xml processing in a run file

You catch my folly as usually. Thanks. While I get the solution above to
work, the alternative 'ruby
~/texmf/scripts/context/ruby/texexec.rb --pdf --environments=PhD-Thesis ../XML/main.xml'
doesn't. Error is:

Hints?

Re: new release

Not sure what settings you need, but I think I know that you take the  
cont-sys.rme and rename it to cont-sys.tex and go from there.

has nothing to do with ruby, just copy cont-sys.rme to cont-sys.tex in 
tex/context/user; i ship the rme as example and fallback so that it does 
not overwrite you rlocal copy

i just did:

# rm -r /usr/local/share/texmf-local/fonts/map/dvipdfm/context
# rm -r /usr/local/share/texmf-local/fonts/map/dvips/context
# texhash

aren't these files awfully old anyway?  are they needed?
as cont-lm is not needed anymore i thought these are obsolete files...

the lm map files are needed (unless you have files on your syetem that do the same); context loads map files on demand and does not use updmap things

i meant, the cont-lm zip file is not needed anymore (if i get it right)
because it is now distributed with context, not that the files are not
needed.  do the files distributed with context make the dvip{s,dfm}
files obsolete (say from teTeX-3.0)?

btw. http://live.contextgarden.net/ is suffering from this also:

from the texexec output:

and pdftex could be updated there also :-)

  That is a cool feature.  But it does not set executable bits on the 
stubs yet, could you fix that?
