Hi all,

I am changing the way modules are installed in the ArchLinux aur package for luametatex. 

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/luametatex/

Earlier, I was just sym-linking to the modules installed by context-minimals-git package (which I also maintain). However, some packages there were out of date (in particular pgf/tikz). The new PKGBUILD installs the modules directly from CTAN.

The following modules are installed by default:
    filter, vim, visualcounter, pgf, pgfplots, circtuitikz

You can install other modules by adding them in the PKGBUILD. 

I am not sure if anyone else actually uses this PKGBUILD to maintain an up-to-date installation of LMTX. If someone does use it, and wishes to add more modules to the default list, I'll be happy to do that.

Aditya

Just curious ... we have this

 >mtxrun --script ctan --packages --pattern=tikz

which just gives info (at the time i made that the ctan api was bugged 
as it mixed up xml and json keys, but i'm not sure if that was fixed of 
became bug=feature for practical reasons)

i never came to a 'download option' because it was ot clear where to 
download from .. are there zips?

(i actually made it when i played with identifying potential fonts)

Hans

Not sure if it's for every package, but should be just

    "http://mirrors.ctan.org/" .. data.ctan.path .. ".zip"

in scripts.ctan.details.

E.g. from https://ctan.org/json/2.0/pkg/lm:

    ctan.path = /fonts/lm
     => zip url = http://mirrors.ctan.org/fonts/lm.zip

I think it may be better to get packages from TeX Live. They are already
"built" (although this is probably not necessary for packages that
ConTeXt is interested in) and split into documentation, sources and
runtime files.

The TeXLive database:

    http://mirrors.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet/tlpkg/texlive.tlpdb
or
    http://mirrors.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet/tlpkg/texlive.tlpdb.xz

E.g:

    name lm
    category Package
    revision 58637
    shortdesc Latin modern fonts in outline formats
    relocated 1
    longdesc The Latin Modern family of fonts consists of 72 text fonts and
    [...]
    docfiles size=657
     RELOC/doc/fonts/lm/GUST-FONT-LICENSE.TXT
     RELOC/doc/fonts/lm/MANIFEST-Latin-Modern.TXT
     [...]
    runfiles size=10645
     RELOC/fonts/afm/public/lm/lmb10.afm
     RELOC/fonts/afm/public/lm/lmbo10.afm
     [...]

Then:

    http://mirrors.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet/archive/lm.tar.xz
    http://mirrors.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet/archive/lm.doc.tar.xz

Some packages also have "srcfiles" and the source files tar:
    http://mirrors.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet/archive/X.source.tar.xz

PS: To be frank I didn't manage to even run the mtx-ctan script, seems
like a problem with locating libs-imp-curl.lmt, although util-jsn.lua is
fine and is also "require"d.

Surely I am missing something or it is because of my weird setup, and I
always get lost in the resolvers... Quickly tried Aditya's Arch Linux
package and it ends similarly:

This corresponds the "Download" link on the CTAN page of each package, but unfortunately, is not always in TDS format. For example, for pgf (which is locate at /graphics/pgf/base), we have

https://mirrors.ctan.org/graphics/pgf/base.zip

which lists all tex related files in base/tex sub-directory. The CTAN page (https://www.ctan.org/pkg/pgf) also has a field "TDS Archive", which lists:

http://mirrors.ctan.org/install/graphics/pgf/base/pgf.tds.zip

which is TDS compliant. The same is the case for circuitikz and pgfplots. So, it safer to use 

    "http://mirrors.ctan.org/" .. data.ctan.path .. "/" .. pkg_name .. "tds.zip"

But, for context packages, CTAN does nto have the tds zips (I guess because the default zip is already TDS compliant). For example:

    https://www.ctan.org/pkg/context-filter

has the "download" link at the bottom but not the "TDS Archive" link.

In the end, since I am only installing 4-5 packages, it is simpler to input the URLs but hand rather than write code to automate the logic.

If only we could convince CTAN to have a common structure - this came up 
recently with Norbert re. supporting TeX Live! (cf. CRAN for example)

Oops, sorry, I completely forgot to mention that indeed what I mention
corresponds to the download link on the package page, which in general
"shouldn't be" in TDS format. Only packages whose authors upload their
own TDS zip have these .tds.zip files you found:

From https://www.ctan.org/help/upload-pkg:

sure, once you know what/where it's not that much work and I admit that 
I only downloaded tikz for testing the 'loading bug' and a few fonts 
during my tex life)

btw, when I fetched tikz a few days ago I could not fetch the zip from 
the browser because it complained about some security issue but the 
command line wget worked ok

another aspect of additional files is that I like to keep my system 
uncluttered so e.g when I install fonts we just need the open type files 
that I then install in texmf-fonts/fonts/data/<author>/* instead of 
bothering about forther structure (in fact it doesn't really matter much 
where files end up as long as there is some system behind it)

makes me wonder ... one could just install the plain and context related 
tikz files in

texmf-modules/tex/tikz/*
