hi,
i'm currently running the context beta from 07.07.2008 with the windows
minimals from 10.07.2008. all my (quick) tries to update to a later beta
version have failed.
my main problem is, that luatools.lua doesn't work properly any more;
if i start 'luatools --generate' inside eshell (zshell clone?) the
program simply hangs (does nothing). if i use the normal dos box with
setuptex.bat i get
-----
R:\tex\texmf-context\scripts\context\lua>luatools --generate
LuaTools | variable SELFAUTOLOC set to r:/tex/texmf-mswin/bin
LuaTools | variable SELFAUTODIR set to r:/tex/texmf-mswin
LuaTools | variable SELFAUTOPARENT set to r:/tex
LuaTools | variable TEXMFCNF set to r:\tex\texmf{-local,-context,}/web2c
LuaTools | loading r:/tex/texmf-context/web2c/texmf.cnf
LuaTools | loading r:/tex/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf
Should I create the cache path r:/tex/texmf-cache? [yes|no] [no]
Should I create the cache path r:/tex/texmf-cache? [yes|no] [no]
Should I create the cache path C:/tmp? [yes|no] [no] yes
Should I create the cache path C:/tmp? [yes|no] [no]
Should I create the cache path /Dokumente und Einstellungen/sojus?
[yes|no] [no]
fatal error: there is no valid (writable) cache path defined
-----
mh, the path r:/tex/texmf-cache is already present and writable. also it
doesn't have any effect if i answer yes or no.
best wishes, peter

i have 'diff-ed' the versions, but couldn't find any obvious flaw.
