Hello,
I suggest putting 3 further stubs into .../scripts/context/stubs/unix :
1.) luatools:
#!/bin/sh
texmfstart luatools.lua "$@"
2.) mtxrun:
#!/bin/sh
texmfstart mtxrun.lua "$@"
3.) context (same file as .../scripts/context/lua/context):
#!/bin/sh
mtxrun --script context $@
This has 2 advantages:
- you can put .../scripts/context/stubs/unix in your PATH
- you can type "texexec file" for MKII and "context file" for MKIV
(same for MS-Win of course)
What do you think?
Cheers, Peter

both luatools and mtxrun are meant to be unstubbed
(1) luatools itself knows about the tree and therefore can start pretty
fast
(2) mtxrun is the replacement for texmfstart so in our case one would
have a slow stub loading a fast stub loading a program; i didn't test it
but texmfstart could be a symlink to mtxrun
the context command can be stubbed indeed (i need to add that one, but
it's still somewhat experimental)
luatools --selfupdate
mtxrun --selfupdate
should result in an updated versions

Allright, I'll make symbolic links in my PATH. It seems to me, that I
should not need the --selfupdate then, right?

Thanks! I think especially for new ConTeXt users, it will be clearer to
type "context file" than anything else.
Cheers, Peter

in mkiv more things wil be simple, for instance metapost runs are now
invisible (even multipass mp is done inside now), graphic conversion is
built in, sorting too, and there is less dependency on external programs

Great! This means perhaps also less temporary files (file.tmp, file.tuX,
file-mpgraph.mp, mpgraph.mp and so on) ?!

some are still needed, but the mpgraph files are gond as are buffers
(already in memory for some time in mkiv)
