first-setup.sh

first-setup.sh

[Andy Thomas]

Hi all,

after a lot of confusion I discovered that first-setup.sh is not Andy-proof. If there is a broken internet connection, the update lua process works and pushes the rsync error message very quickly out of the terminal. I propose to change the rsync line to

rsync -rlptv rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/setup/$platform/bin . || { echo "Cannot reach the repository"; exit 1; }

Andy

P.S. Someone already did the same to the ruby error message, it is copied a second time at the end.

Thank you, that makes sense, I'll change it.

But I believe that some similar safeguards might be needed in the lua
script (there is a slight chance that this would go through and the
calls in lua script wouldn't).

Also, if the file doesn't exist on the server (if you change a letter
in path or if platform would be removed from supported one for
example), it doesn't stop. I didn't try to investigate if there is an
easy way around that.

Also keep in mind that users need to update the original script
(currently still called first-setup.sh) manually.

FWIW, I updated the PKGBUILD for arch linux: 
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=30398

Maybe this is then the right time to do the renaming:

fetch-context

or so, as an update is not a first

first-setup.sh

[Thomas A. Schmitz]

Hi all, esp. Mojca,

I don't know if anything changed recently, but first-setup.sh doesn't  
fetch the latest beta for me anymore, even when I feed it the "-- 
context=beta" switch. At first, I thought it was a glitch, but I have  
now tried on 3 different computers, and after running first-setup.sh,  
I always get

MTXrun | main context file: /Users/tas/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/ 
context/base/context.tex
MTXrun | current version: 2010.05.24 13:05

even though the beta version 2010.05.27 has been available for a  
while. Am I missing something, or has something changed?

All best

Thomas

You can always check if something is wrong on "your computer" or on
server by taking a look at
    http://minimals.contextgarden.net/current/context/beta/tex/context/base/
and checking the version there. It seems that this version is exactly
the same as on server, so it's a problem on our server.

Interesting. Hans has changed configuration of his rsync server. I
have noticed that while fetching docs, but didn't think about the fact
that this has influenced fetching of the latest context as well.

Hans has sent me another address for rsync, but that one is empty.
Hans, I need the name of rsync server now (may be sent off-list) ...

You may try again with --context=experimental as a temporary solution.

I have updated & fixed the scripts on server, so everything should
(hopefully) work fine after Hans fixes the server (except that
kfreebsd-amd64 will probably break until the next beta comes out). As
long as the server reports

    > wget http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/beta/cont-tmf.zip
    HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 403 Forbidden

with both HTTP and RSYNC access, there's not much I can do (except for
temporary renaming experimental to beta which I don't particularly
like to do).

Looks like Hans' new NAS also considers working with context a
security risk. :)

Mojca,

I just tried this (sorry, came home only now), and now I get a version of 2010.06.02 which isn't even announced on the pragma site... So let's hope that Hans talks some sense into his servers and everything goes back to normal! Thanks for your swift reaction.

All best

ah .. that's interesting .. it's because mojca now syncs with an 
internal machine

i hope that this versions works ok as i'm in the middle of some changes 
in the luatools/mtxrun pair as wel as format generation (experimenting a 
bit with stubs as the existing code dates back from 2007 or so) ..

the code in this version is definitely not for texlive

so best treat it as a real beta (there will be another beta later this 
week)

first-setup.sh

[Vladimir Lomov]

Hi.

Please, could you check mtx-update.lua, line 376. I'm found it
suspicious that the line
                    command = string.format("%s -tgo --chmod=a+x
%s/texmf-context/scripts/context/lua/%s.lua %s/texmf-%s/bin/%s", bin,
texroot, script, texroot, platform, script)
don't contain contextgarden source ('url' variable, 'bin' contains
'rsync' program).

mtx-update.lua time stamp:
2010-05-19

These two lines are there just to make sure that the proper version of
luatools and mtxrun are copied to bin. The files come from existing
texmf-context and are copied to texmf-platform/bin/luatools (or
mtxrun).
