Hi again Hans,
It is not possible to update to the latest release with "sudo ctxtools
--updatecontext".
In order to inform other Mac users, and possibly prevent them to
update, I am reporting my (bad) experience:
DO NOT UPDATE UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON…
Indeed something has changed in the structure of the new tree, or in
the scripts, and obviously maybe both, so if you are not aware, don't
update!
And now my experience: yesterday I tried to update and then I got the
message
FatalError : Your format does not match the base files!
expalining me why ConTeXt could not typeset my files.
After trying (without success…) to install the minimals from the
Garden, I had to install anew my whole TeX tree with TeXMac (which
installs TeXLive 2007).
However the ConTeXt present on MacTeX dates back to 2007.01.12, so in
order to have a more recent version, I downloaded manually from
http://foundry.supelec.fr/frs/?group_id=14&release_id=313
the file
cont-tmf-20080521.zip
copied it into (using sudo)
/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local
and then unzipped it there. Finally I did
sudo texmfstart texexec --make --all --pdftex
after which I have a ConTeXt mkii
ConTeXt ver: 2008.05.21 15:21 MKII fmt: 2008.8.7 int: english/english
which is not the latest, but it works fine…
Best reards: OK
