ConTeXt Minimals: `luatools --selfupdate` does not work.

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superseded by a `mtxrun` command?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
