Hi all,
does anyone know whether LuaTeX will be part of TeX Live 2008?
If I browse the SVN correctly, it currently contains a 1 year old
ConTeXt, checked in by Taco, and no LuaTeX.
It would be great if at least an up-to-date ConTeXt and possible LuaTeX
could be included. (Esp. since several Linux distributions have their
TeX based on TeX Live and are reluctant to create extra packages.)
Tobias

it will be there (that is, a beta version)

Context on texlive is updated once a year. It is a somewhat elaborate
process because texlive wants some stuff removed from the distribution
and quite some other stuff has to be relocated. I prefer not to do
that except when it is absolutely necessary.
The next texlive will normally have the latest stable context from
the week before the code freeze.
There definately be a luatex executable included as well, but it will
be more for the benefit of having texlua as a scripting engine, than
for proper typesetting.
Best wishes,
Taco

As long as the update does not miss the deadline I am fine with having
one update per year. Thanks!

Why? Because TeXLive is setup such that ConTeXt still uses pdfetex and
because luatex is beta -- or because some files are missing?

the tex live folks are always very considerate with our last minute
fixes and such, don't worry

good question .. at some point we will change from pdftex to luatex as
default, maybe eurotex 2009 is a good moment
