ctxtools --updatecontext

[David Arnold]

All,

If you run:

ctxtools --updatecontext

And it just hangs and times out, what should you try?

Check you network connection, you could be behind a firewall
that prevents direct access to the internet. You can specify
a proxy server on the commandline with --proxy=...

Best wishes,
Taco

Taco,

Thanks. But it works in my office, but not in my colleague's office.  
I have gwtex and he has mactex.

Admitting my ignorance, what is a proxy server?

Does this work?
   rsync -av \
      rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/current/context/current/ \
      /usr/local/mactex/texmf.local
(adapt the path according to your needs, I have no idea how the tree
is organized)

(but you still need to run texexec --make --all manually after
fetching all the files)
