last beta and mkiv

last beta and mkiv

[Wolfgang Schuster]

Hi Hans,

the last beta is not working on my Mac in MkIV mode.

It start with the problem that context.tex is not found but this
is related to luat-inp.lua, I tried it with the file from the last beta
and context.tex is now found.

Generating the format is nevertheless not possible.

Wolfgang

I found only: 2008.07.10 10:01 but ConTeXt itself gives me:
ConTeXt  ver: 2008.05.21 15:21 MKII  fmt: 2008.7.13  int: english/ 
english

I tried now the minimals but I have the same problem after I tried to  
update
to the last beta, the version in the minimals works (it's the one you  
mentioned
above).

Here is the message I get when I try to generate the format.

This version also works on my Mac to the extent that I can make the  
format and compile simple files. Sadly, these parts appear to be broken:

- MetaPost graphics
- mtxrun --script fonts --list
- ligatures

Best wishes,
Oliver

Well, we have uploaded new binaries (mplib) for metapost (before
disappearing for several days). The same problem could have affected
all platforms except for Windows (where I didn't check if Akira has
already added the new library) and PPC (where I didn't try to use the
patch yet).

We have also switched to LuaTeX 0.28.0, so that could be one of the
reasons as well.

Can you please send some examples? Metapost works OK here.

mtxrun --script fonts --list didn't work here either until I ran
luatools --generate (which should happen automatically during update).

Hi Oliver,

Your attachments were too big for the mailing list, but I read them
myself. Here is some answers.

This is weird (and worrying, Hans vd Meer had problems on the mac too). 
The relevant bit of the log is this:

mplib          : making format: metafun.mp, name: 
/usr/local/context/2008-07-10-beta/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/b29711f44b226eed93986eab2faeaa2c/formats/cont-en-metafun.mem
mplib          : problems with format: metafun.mp, name: 
/usr/local/context/2008-07-10-beta/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/b29711f44b226eed93986eab2faeaa2c/formats/cont-en-metafun.mem


Now, the problem is that mkiv suppresses all of the mpost logging so
we can only guess at what goes wrong. Next week at TUG we will sit down
and try to come up with a way to improve the logging.

> - mtxrun --script fonts --list

You reported:
   ...-10-beta/texmf-context/tex/context/base/font-syn.lua:247: attempt
      to index field 'data' (a nil value)

Did you run --reload first? It looks from the code like you can get
that error message if (and only if) there is no font name database yet.

> - ligatures

I just downloaded and checked: there are no ligatures in Delicious, so
this is not mkiv's fault.

Best wishes,
Taco

Would it help if I ran mpost separately? Or is this problem related to  
ConTeXt integration?

I thought so. Will have to check this.

Then I definitely prepared a stupid example … I'm pretty sure I saw  
missing ligatures with fonts that actually contain them but wanted to  
demonstrate the issue with a free font. Stupid me that I chose the  
wrong one … so I'll look into this again and prepare a new example …

did you update luatools and mtxrun?

luatoosl --selfupdate
mtxrun --selfupdate

nothing fundamental was changed

I used now the release from the minimals (2008.07.10 09:58) and it
works but the one on your page (2008.07.10 10:01) has a problem.

hm, i'll upload a new one then

(we only added support for expanded ~ in configurations and checking for 
writability of cache paths)
