Not at the moment. texexec -- make --all texexec -- make --all --xtx texexec -- make --all --lua > Rather than moving programs, might it be easier to add > ~/texmf//bin to the PATH? That's what setuptex in minimals does. Yes, if you're updating an exesting distribution, it might be easier and cleaner to add a variable to path than to overwrite the old binaries. > > The only drawback of this is that you have to update manually. ctxtools > > --updatecontext unzip the file in TEXMFLOCAL, and not TEXMFHOME, so it > > does not work with this setup. > > Hmm... will the rsync update work, or do I need to download the zips? Of course it works. You have two options: a) rsync -flags rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/pragma/linux/ [your-favorite location] will give you the almost-latest binaries in one rsync run (there is also "justtex" for the common files). b) wget http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/linux/first-setup.sh or (same file): rsync -flags rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/setup/linux/first-setup.sh and then run that file to get the whole distribution at the desired location. (experimental - someone needs to write support for local configuration) flags may be -av or whatever else seems more appropriate. Also, if you already have a working TeX distribution, you can write a few rsync calls yourself. At http://minimals.contextgarden.net/current/ (= rsync://minimals.contextgarden.net/minimals/current/) you have: - current ConTeXt - almost-latest binaries - fonts any you can combine the stuff from there in some arbitrary way.
