Dear ConTeXt folks,
I installed ConTeXt minimals and tried to run
luatools --selfupdate
as documented in the Wiki [1].
It looks like, the option is not supported anymore, since the output
looks like a list of supported options. Am I right about this?
$ luatools --selfupdate

this is because luatools is now a shortcut to "mtxrun --script base" so
you only need to selfupdate mtxrun ... originally luatools was meant as
a generic stub for making luatex formats etc but as I don't expect it to
be used outside context it's sort of gone as independent script as
mtxrun can do most of the same (what's left ended up in mtx-base)

Understood. I updated the Wiki page accordingly [2].
Thanks,
Paul
PS: `luatools --generate` still does something. Is it deprecated and
superseded by a `mtxrun` command?

no, luatools (or mtxrun --script base) sort of does what kpsewhich does
and as such it also generates a file database so luatools will stay as
shortcut
