It's not that bad (unless I missed something) ... first of all we have the minimals and they work out of the box. And the minimals are just a subset of texlive. As soon as a different tree setup is used one has to adapt the TEXMF variable in the configuration file (ok, i assume that we could add some commonly used paths there that are not in the minimals). This is something that can differ per distributions. The reasons for dropping txmf.cnf in mkiv in favour of texmfcnf.lua have been discussed before and is just another step towards more flexibility (for instance we have more private configuration options than possible in the old situation). Of course the whole minimals can be made a package which makes sense if a user only uses context and does not want the rest of tex. If I remember right someone did that already. So there is no need to worry as eventually things will sort themselves out. I have no clue what bug you mean, but if you can nail it down ... (my dev machine is windows 7 and our linux servers have the minimals) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl ----------------------------------------------------------------- ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
