Subject: perl/Ruby dependency -- how deep?
Date: Tue, 8 Apr 2008 14:37:38 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <7871fcf50804081137r51b8e186u1ecbe6b5fb3003c6@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Two questions came up when I was looking into putting ConTeXt on a USB
stick (i.e., as a "portable app"):
1. Is perl still required for a ConTeXt installation (say, under
Windows)? I know texexec is now written in Ruby, but are there other
programs in Stand-alone or the Minimals that require perl?
2. I vaguely recall some mention of eventually replacing texexec with
a Lua version. Is this actually being planned, and would that
eliminate the external language dependencies of ConTeXt?
