Hello Joel, I have added that switch after Vyatcheslav has created his installer (and forgot to ask him to support the switch in his GUI). Vyatcheslav, I hope that you're reading this :) Hans uploads "current" and "beta" releases on his web page (sometimes also alpha, but not very often). http://www.pragma-ade.com/download-1.htm http://www.pragma-ade.com/download-2.htm Beta versions mean: "I have put some experimental stuff there - dear users, please test and tell me if it works OK. If nobody complains for several days or weeks, this will become a curren/stable release". --context=beta means that it will sync with either beta (if one exists) or current (if there is no beta). Default is --context=current. See also http://minimals.contextgarden.net/current/context/ You can also say --context=2008.01.11, but I have no idea whether there is/will be space to store all of the distributions (I need to move the files to Taco's server first). By writing your own calls I meant even circumventing mtx-update (it doesn't do anything really clever) and write rsync calls directly. If you do that, you will have full control of what not to include (you might want not to include fonts/other for example).
