The minimals use whatever version you ask them to fetch for you. In
first-setup.sh I have
   --context=beta
and I sometimes add
   --context=experimental

The problem is that I have put beta versions of those files into
context bin, and if one uses some other version, it fails to work.

Oh, right, the "pragma" dir, sorry. After Hans comes from Cork, I'll
ask him to fix a few things, and those two files will then be fetched
separately. I also have problems with those two files.

But my question - should "pragma"-like zips contain context beta or current?

Apart from that - is luatex (& cache paths) working now?
