Re: beta

Hi Hans,

I uploaded the new beta with the Minimals, but neither mkii nor mkiv work anymore…
I get
	MTXrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua'
and 
	luatools --generate
gives the same result.
Has something changed in first-setup.sh for Mac OS X and other machines (I followed the thread about that file being changed for Windows by Mojca, but I don't know about other operating systems).

I am reporting this just to let you know: I don't have any problem going back to ConTexT version 2011.01.25.

Best regards: OK

This has been deprecated for quite a while now; you have 
to run

mtxrun --generate

I see the same thing on linux: you have to run mtxrun 
--generate and mktexlsr and texexec --make by hand now; 
after that, mkiv and mkii will run.

I assume that's a result of our discussion last week, but 
not quite what Hans and Mojca are aiming at...

Hi Thomas,

Many thanks for your attention: indeed afer doing
	mtxrun --generate
and then
	context --make --all
I could use mkiv, and had to do
	mktexlsr 
and the 
	texexec --make --all
in order to use mkii. 
I gues eventually these commands would be integrated somehow in first-setup.sh, but I didn't notice that that file was supposed to be updated also.

Best regards: OK

Re: beta

[Otared Kavian]

Hi again Hans,

Thanks to Thomas' attention I could make some testing with the latest mkiv beta (2011.01.31). It seems that roman numerals is broken in itemize, while it works fine in mkii.
Here is a minimal test:
%%% begin test.tex
\starttext
\startitemize[r]
\item Testing items and footnotes\footnote{This is a silly remark\dots}
\stopitemize
\stoptext
%%% end test.tex

and the error message I get:
! Undefined control sequence.
\romannumerals #1->\ctxcommands 
                                {romannumerals(\number #1)}
l.7 }
     
\doconvertedstructurecounter ...!criterium ", } )}
                                                  \endgroup

Re: beta

[Hans van der Meer]

Surprised this works somewhere. I uploaded the beta with the script I am using for sometime now:
#!/bin/bash
mkdir -p $TEXMINIMAL/tex
cd $TEXMINIMAL
ln -s $TEXPRIVATE tex/texmf-local
curl -o first-setup.sh http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/first-setup.sh
sh ./first-setup.sh >first-setup.log
cd tex
echo "luatools --selfupdate"
luatools --selfupdate
echo "mtxrun -selfupdate"
mtxrun -selfupdate
echo "mtxrun -selfupdate"
echo "installation context minimals done"

But now I get an error in running my TeXShop after installing:
    MTXrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua'
Confirmed that something is broken by regressing to my previous installation of ConTeXt  ver: 2011.01.26 11:02 MKIV  fmt: 2011.1.31  int: english/english
Changing the script to mtxrun --generate do not improve things here.

Thanks for changing things that way between one and the other. I am starting to get a bit choleric about all things that constantly seem broken with the next update. Sorry for the sour note but these are costing me hours to iron out, time I do not have at the moment.

hm, i tested it on a linux machine and it also works at taco's end

however, I see an error in mtxrun under the upgrade bin path so I'll 
have a look at that (it's hard to test minimals without remote)

anyhow, making the databases and formats by hand works ok; the biggest 
change is not yet visible anyway (for myself i want a relocatable tree 
so i'm playing with that, normally that's not something users will deal 
with)

well, no one forces you to update betas

also, as long as we're in transition to mkiv you can expect an 
occasional hickup, after all, i have only a few machines to test

maybe it gives you comfort to know that I spend more hours to iron out 
problems -)

Hans

ps. recently i spent a week ironing out nfs4 problems just to find out 
(by googling) that i'd best revert al machines back to nfs3 and i can 
give more examples; believe it or not, it makes me feel less guilty

ah, you got me ... should be singular

fyi: this macro is a shortcut for calling a function in the lua commands 
namespace; eventually all calls at the tex end will call functions in 
the commands namespace but it's a stepwise process to get this done (all 
conversions were adapted so maybe more problems surface, but they're 
just name issues)

It's better to have someone could give you a hand.
In the long term, something like "Release Team" would be a must for
ConTeXt development. With this team, we can do some "Unit testing" for
each release in order to minimize problem.

to some extend this is what the beta is for ... because mkiv is a moving 
target it sort of replaces the current, but if i can imagine that users 
wait a few days with updating till there are no problems reported

concerning testing ... there is a slowly growing test suite, and i guess 
that at some point Luigi will run it alongside his module documentation 
runs .. you can offer him help with that (sanjoy also has made some test 
setup)

in this particular case (adaption of mtxrun) testing is somewhat 
problematic as we need a test-minimal alongside the regular one and that 
might happen when mojca has set up the new machine

Same here.

Running mktexlsr manually works, but it doesn't help next ./first-setup run.

Re: beta

[Alan BRASLAU]

My update proceedure systematically maintains a previous,
presumably working, copy of the minimals. For this, I run
a script:

#!/bin/sh
cd /usr/local/context
cd beta
echo "*** move current to previous ***"
rsync -av --delete --progress . ../previous
echo "*** update beta ***"
rsync -ptv --progress rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/setup/first-setup.sh .
./first-setup.sh --extras=all | tee first-setup.log

This way I limit problems while still working with the latest, greatest
beta version of ConTeXt. When things go wrong with the update,
I simply move "beta" to "new" (or something else) and "previous" to "beta",
my PATH being set to use "beta".

Perhaps others can suggest a better working proceedure.

Of course, when pressed for time, I postpone updating to Hans' latest
so as not to be distracted from the work at hand.

Alan

Does that mean that the instructions 
(http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Minimals#Remaking_formats) have 
to be updated? There, both "mtxrun --generate" and "luatools --generate" 
are listed for making the mkiv format.

In any case, I haven't been able to install (update) the minimals in the 
last 3 months (on both OS X and ubuntu). MkII works, but context 
--version gives
"MTXrun | main context file: unknown, 'context.mkiv' not found"

And the log of running a test file contains:
-------------

hm so much time for me.
At least on January update  was almost retgular for me (mkiv)

it can be a problem of cache corrupted; try to erase it and rebuild
with mtxrun --generate

Ok - Thank you! I keep (kept) my contexts in hidden dirs (my current one 
from 3 months ago is in ".context" and it works, but I don't remember 
whether I changed the directory to "hidden" after I installed the 
minimals or whether I installed them into ".context").

Conclusion: Installing the actual minimals in a hidden file doesn't 
work, in a "visible" one it does.

Thanks a lot for the help, Jörg

Not sure if it's a bug or feature.
If I understand correctly, mkii works ok in "hidden" folders, but mkiv no.
I suspect then a bug in names resolver which  in this situation it's ok .
(perhaps  you can try  with
/Users/bonasia/a.context-new
)

Doesn't work either. Well - my context directory doesn't have to be 
hidden - why hide a pretty thing?

Yes, there is a bug when using dots, someone recently triggered it when
using versioned names (context-2011.01.18 or something). Not sure if it can
be fixed.

Yes. This fixes mkii. But as Vedran and Luigi already pointed out
first-setup.sh is broken. mkiv works ok.

BTW: Is it possible to only build mkiv and the english interface? Maybe by
passing some options to first-setup.sh? I never need other interfaces and
hardly ever mkii.

A good guide should be the use of POSIX "Fully portable filenames"

Lewine, Donald, POSIX Programmer's Guide: Writing Portable UNIX Programs, 
1991, O'Reilly & Associates, Inc., Sebastopol, CA, pp. 63-64.


Of course, some perfectly acceptable filenames
(even for a NTFS filesystem, according to MicroSoft's own standard)
wreak havoc for Windows and some Windows applications, as well as for MacOS.

See, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filename

Microsoft Windows: Windows kernel forbids the use of characters in range 1-31 
(i.e., 0x01-0x1F) and characters " * : < > ? \ / |. Although NTFS allows each 
path component (directory or filename) to be 255 characters long and paths up 
to about 32767 characters long, the Windows kernel only supports paths up to 
259 characters long if no UNC is used for addressing. Additionally, Windows 
forbids the use of the MS-DOS device names AUX, CLOCK$, COM1, COM2, COM3, 
COM4, COM5, COM6, COM7, COM8, COM9, CON, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, LPT4, LPT5, LPT6, 
LPT7, LPT8, LPT9, NUL and PRN, as well as these names with any extension (for 
example, AUX.txt), except when using Long UNC paths (ex. \\.\C:\nul.txt or \\?
\D:\aux\con). (In fact, CLOCK$ may be used if an extension is provided.) These 
restrictions only apply to Windows - Linux, for example, allows use of " * : < 
> ? \ | even in NTFS.

concerning the mkii problem .. i know where it originates and am playing

need to make sure that mkiv can use symbolic roots while mkii gets real

I also ran across a bug considering the case of external graphics. The case is
not taken into account. And luatex hangs, if a graphic is not found. Example:

\starttext
\externalfigure [CoW]     % A file CoW does not exist, only cow.pdf
                          % and cow.pdf is included, should output gray box

\externalfigure [GrApHiC] % Does not exist and causes mkiv to hang
                          % Should output gray box
\stoptext

Marco

I don't want to start an argue, sice this bug/feature doesn't affect my work.
But just my 2 cents:

1) The operating system / file system basically decides which names are
   permitted. And in times of luatex and unicode it's a pity that file names
   with international characters aren't supported. All other programs can cope
   with that.

2) I often use automatically generated graphics like
   graph.1.pdf
   graph.2.pdf
   graph.3.pdf ...
   According to the documentation and Hans these file names aren't permitted,
   since dots and numbers aren't allowed. However when I include the complete
   names with extention it works.


Regards
Marco

But one need the other formats to use TeX Gyre fonts with math?

If I try the –engine=luatex switch this
\setupbodyfont[palatino]
\starttext
$a+b$
\stoptext
returns:
!LuaTeX error: cannot open Type 1 font file for reading (qplri.pfb)

no, but it can be that some font is missing, in which case you should 
identify it and ask Mojca to add it to the luatex subset

Could it be because it is named catc-ini.lua instead of catc-ini.mkiv? Or has it to be loaded as an explicit lua-file?

no. What about

Strange, doing (running MacOSX 10.6.6, beta is the directory in which context is installed):

102 beta: mktexlsr
mktexlsr: Updating /Users/hans/TeX/ConTeXt/beta/ls-R... 
mktexlsr: Done.
103 beta: kpsewhich catc-ini.mkiv
/Users/hans/TeX/ConTeXt/beta/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/catc-ini.mkiv
104 beta: 

File is there. Checked again that "context --make en" runs into the same error.

Or perhaps 2 completely different distributions?
mkii: frozen, only some fixes from time to time
mkiv: no more mkii files, no more pdftex, just pure mkiv

this can already be done (just install with the --engine=luatex flag)

the main issue is that mtxrun also replaces the ruby texmfstart script 
and texexec is launched via mtxrun; so mtxrun needs to be able to deal 
with mkii situations where kpse is used for lookups later on; as the 
installer uses the --tree option, and as mkiv has an abstract notion of 
the texroot, some hoops have to be jumped through to get it working for 
both machineries

You mentioned earlier that texexec could be replaced by mtxrun completely,
that only a bit is missing. Would this solve the problem?

it would solve the ruby dependency but pdftex/xetex need kpse

Re: error updating beta WAS: beta

More weird things I am afraid. Experimenting somewhat, I removed the texmf-cahce and did mtxrun --generate.
The first messages is: "/Users/hans/TeX/ConTeXt/beta"
and its permissions are: "drwxrwxr-x  7 hans staff 238 2 feb 17:48 beta/"
idem of the parent directory: "drwxr-xr-x  13 hans staff 442 2 feb 10:36 ../"

120 beta: mtxrun --generate
shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory

Something wrong here? Something I can/should repair?

More experiments, I am not one to be so easily defeated by software.
Retrieved some old beta's, each time I start a context run then it results in the loadfilemarkerror.
But I can find several formats lying around:
/Users/hans/TeX/ConTeXt/beta/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/c180539b697aa06758debbc1182817e4/formats/cont-en.fmt

/Users/hans/TeX/ConTeXt/beta/tex/texmf-osx-64/web2c/xetex/cont-nl.fmt
Apparently none of them found! Vide this first message:
MTXrun | warning: no format found, forcing remake (commandline driven)

Here for inspection my .bashrc settings relevant to TeX. Could there be something amiss with these?
# TeX
export TEXLIVE=/usr/local/texlive/2010
export TEXPRIVATE=$HOME/TeX/My-TeXLib
export TEXMINIMAL=$HOME/TeX/ConTeXt/beta
export TEXPATH=$TEXMINIMAL/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin
export TEXMFDBS=$TEXMINIMAL
#$TEXMINIMAL/tex/setuptex
export TEXMF=$TEXMINIMAL
Note: inserting the hashed out line doesn't make a difference.

I append here the full terminal output below, just in case.

I strongly support the idea of freezing mkii, apart from repairing obvious bugs in the existing codebase. It will free precious resources and save valuable time. Moreover imho concentrating on mkiv not hampered by compatability issues because of mkii, can only add to its stability. 
(It is just like evolution or maybe call it progress. Imagine both our primate ancestors and the dinosaurs being maintained at the same time? Where would we be? ;-)

It's a Mac OS system (sorry, I though it was linux).

Can you try the latest minimals under
/Users/hans/LuaTeX
(just to  be sure to avoid conflicts)
?

as there is not much code written for mkii the burden for me is not that 
large; also, now that the codebase is completely split, there is less 
danger of changes in one affecting the other

also, there are mkii users out there, including collegues, so it won't 
be dropped

installing mkiv only is already possible for a while

ok, we can have less files if we make a zip split, something that might 
happen at some point (i need to adapt my assembling script then)

for a moment i considered

base/mkii
base/mkiv
base/common

but it might not be worth the effort,

favourite programs working on suse 11.3 as it kept crashing linux on 
11.2 but well, it's beta for a reason)

best wipe the cache as the latest version uses a different hash so the 
oldest path is obsolete

you can check what mtxrun --generate returns as variables right at the 
start

also, configuration of mkiv happens in texmfcnf.lua (see contextcnf.lua 
for the future version of it, but that's for Mojca to decide)

texos is only used to guess the texmf-[texos]/bin path

so, indeed, if you don't conform to the minimal structure it is not that 
meaningful

anyhow, you have no configuration file in a known place so you can try 
to set it yourself (TEXMFCNF=path_to_your_cnffile)

you cannot expect the minimals to work with arbitrary tree setups

normally this problem is just a side effect of putting binaries in a 
spot that the SELF* variables cannot relate to

you can have extra bins of course, for instance I have (as i need to 
test it):

texmf-mswin
texmf-mswin-new
texmf-mswin-texlive

and set up my console with:

SET PATH=%MYTEXROOT%\texmf-mswin-live\bin;%PATH%
SET PATH=%MYTEXROOT%\texmf-mswin\bin;%PATH%
SET PATH=%MYTEXROOT%\texmf-mswin-new\bin;%PATH%

so, the newest bins are taken first (under texroot are also the regular 
minimal paths as wel as texmf-mine that has some dev files) ... so there 
are plenty of ways to extend the minimals

also, I have a couple of dev paths added to the regular paths and do 
that in a local extra texmfcnf.lua file (multiple files are supported)
