Updating ConTeXt standalone problem on Mac OS X

Updating ConTeXt standalone problem on Mac OS X

[Jaroslav Hajtmar]

Hello ConTeXist
I have a problem with updating ConTeXt on my Mac OS X (El Captain). When 
you run the update script to me an error message appears, which 
surprises me, since I logged on as the system administrator. Can anyone 
advise me on what could be the problem. I note that I am a beginner on OS X.

Here is problematic report:


Jaroslav-MacBook-Air:context hajtmar$ sh first-setup.sh
receiving file list ... done
rsync: failed to set times on "/Users/hajtmar/context/bin": Operation 
not permitted (1)
bin/
rsync: mkstemp "/Users/hajtmar/context/bin/.luatex.y7B2Zy" failed: 
Permission denied (13)

etc....


Thanx
Jaroslav Hajtmar

Running rsync as an administrator has an ugly consequence that you end
up copying the UID and GUID as-is, so you might end up with files
owned by very strange or perhaps even non-existing users.

Maybe you could play with
    --chown=USER:GROUP
when calling rsync from first-setup.sh to start with.

Who currently owns bin and bin/luatex?

It is not impossible that something changed yesterday though (I was
messing with the server), but the installation works for me. What
happens if you run the installation as a regular user (to a fresh
directory)?

We should look into it, but I need some proper diagnosis first.

I am running the same OSX El Capitan (from a non-administrator account) and I have no problems installing the ConTeXt-beta with the following script executed inside a fresk and empty directory:

#!/bin/bash
rsync -ptv rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/setup/first-setup.sh .
chmod a+x first-setup.sh
mkdir tex
cd tex
ln -s ~/Documents/TeX/texmf texmf-local
cd ..
sh ./first-setup.sh --context=beta >first-setup.log
#sh ./first-setup.sh --context=current >first-setup.log
#sh ./first-setup.sh --context=date >first-setup.log
exit

Thanks Monca and Hans for the reply.
I deleted the entire installation tree and I installed again the entire 
ConTeXt and it seems that everything is already OK.
