Stable version

Stable version

[Mohamed Bana]

Hi guys,

How can i get a somewhat recent and stable version where things just work. 

I've tried --stable and --context=stable which both insist of getting 
luatex 0.40.

  mtxrun --verbose --script ./bin/mtx-update.lua --update --make --force 
--engine=all --context=stable --stable --texroot=$PWD/tex 
--extras="t-letter,t-mathsets,t-tikz,t-vim" $@

There's a lot of things broken in the current minimals, e.g., bib 
module, hanging, a error about front and I can't to even seem to use OT 
fonts.

I think context should complain when a CLI options hasn't been spelt 
correctly:

  $ context --batchmoed

Many thanks
Mohamed

the names of stable versions is 'current' but you need also a older  
LuaTeX version

t-letter :)

True. We only provide a single version of LuaTeX and "current" (that
often gets broken as well) doesn't work with the latest LuaTeX. I'm
looking forward to nice suggestions about how to solve the issue. One
can fetch an "arbitrary" version of LuaTeX from repository, but that's
not convenient.

Does it take too much space to also store the old versions of luatex 
binary? After all, we are only talking about the stable releases of 
ConTeXT.

an option is to have a 0.30 0.40 0.50 etc branch; alongside we can store 
the latest context mkiv that still works on such a version

Thanks but after reading the mail a second time I understood what it  
meant.

(was in scrollmode at the first time :)

Perhaps just one sentence in the wiki:
If you want to run minimals-current, the you must overwrite your
luatex-binary with an older version. For example like this:
svn cat http://svn.contextgarden.net/minimals/bin/tex/linux-64/current/luatex/bin/luatex@XXX >`which luatex`

You only need to check, what number XXX should be...

Cheers, Peter

Re: Stable version

[Mohamed Bana]

Thank you all!

When was \mainlanguage[ukenglish] added? 

Producer:       luaTeX-0.30.3
CreationDate:   Mon Apr 27 14:48:13 2009
ModDate:        ConTeXt - 2008.10.31 13:58

Is there an alternative?

Most probably after patterns have been generated out of hyph-utf8.
