texmfstart texutil

texmfstart texutil

[Hans van der Meer]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 760 bytes --]

In order to purge the temporary context files I did (throught an alias)
	texutil --purge
This worked fine.

Since the introduction of the ruby scripts this call now tells me:
	remark: 'texutil' is now part of 'texexec'
	warning: use 'texmfstart texutil' instead

So I obediently call:
	texmfstart.rb texutil --purge
This silently does nothing.

Neither does work "texmfstart texexec --version" the same as did  
"texexec --version".
The former giving the TeXExec version, the latter gave the installed  
ConTeXt formats.

It is not "texmfstart texexec --purge" because I tried that too.
On the other hand, replacing "texexec --silent --pdf --autopdf file.tex"
by the same preceded with "texmfstart" does work as expected.

What happened?

texutil will go away (i.e. be a wrapper only); the functionality has been moved to texexec.rb, ctxtools.rb, pdftools.rb, rlxtools.rb etc 

it's now: 

ctxtools --purge

For those on UNIX(-like) systems that have only texmfstart.rb enabled  
as executable (chmod a+x texmfstart.rb) this will not work as none  
the ruby scripts in the distribution seem to have their execution  
bits set.
The next seems mandatory if only texmfstart is enabled: texmfstart  
ctxtools --purge

There is a whole bunch of shell stubs in the distribution, in

	scripts/context/stubs/unix

but currently you always have to redo the "chmod +x" after each update
because the execution permission bit is not kept in the zip, so it
gets trashed during the unzip operation.

on unix, one needs to copy texmfstart.rb to texmfstart and copy it to 
some bin path

Copying is imho not necessary. As long as the execution bits are set  
any file can be made to execute by a shell. What to do is determined  
by the shebang line.
I am working in MacOSX which is UNIX under the hood and  
"texmfstart.rb" is excuted without the need for copying.

I'd like to confirm this, i tried 
texmfstart texutil.rb test.tui 
or 
texmfstart texutil.rb --references test.tui 
and nothing happened!
Although, texutil is called correctly when processing a file with texexec (maybe texexec calls methods from texutil.rb directly...)

Note: To check the installed formats and their version, use now:
texmfstart texexec --check

indeed, texexec.rb therefore does not need to start another script (so 
we're faster now)

Yes, but is so much more verbose.
While previously a neat, short  summary of the currently installed  
formats was printed. Just what I wanted.

Of course I understand, I'd solve it the same way...
But, I'd suggest to print some warning, if some functionality is moved or removed.
E.g. if I try 

texmfstart texutil.rb --figures

it also doesn't work but I'm informed what has happened.. ;-)

Thanks,
Richard
