Update ConTeXt into TL2010...

Update ConTeXt into TL2010...

[Jaroslav Hajtmar]

Hello,
Is there anyone who updated ConTeXt MkIV in TL2010? Is there more 
information about how this can be done safely? (where you copy and what 
to run ...)

I am interested in the latest updates, but I do not want to get into 
trouble with a bad update. Last time I stopped in ConTeXt TL2009 quite 
work and I had to completely install TL2010.
Thanks Jaroslav

The best and only way to run mkiv is minimals, not texlive;
texlive is ok for mkii (as also minimals, anyway).

You may use
    tlmgr update --all
but this will only update some minor trivial fixes (for example I just
commited fixes for Antykwa Poltawskiego after the font has been
released).

If you want to have the latest ConTeXt, you also need to update
luatex, but also some other tools have changed since TL release.

I would suggest to install minimals if you want the latest ConTeXt ...
or at least wait for Taco's new server. Apart from that you are free
to put the latest ConTeXt into texmf-local, replace luatex binary with
the one from minimals and update mtxrun script manually. It is not
nice & clean to do it, but it should work. (If anything breaks badly,
you might end up installing from scratch, but well ...)

Re: Update ConTeXt into TL2010... & Ctx in TL2010 & Ctx minimals simultaneously

Thanx... Mojca
Will simultaneously use the ConTeXt minimals and ConTeXt  in the TL2010?
Does anyone with experience? I'd hate to spoil the installation

I have two installations of TeX Live, one is somehow globally set
somewhere (MacTeX 2010), I initialize one with
    export PATH=~/bin:~/soft/texlive/2010/bin/x86_64-darwin:$PATH
in .bash_profile (and that one is used in Terminal/shell if I don't do
anything extra).

In addition I have zillions of ConTeXt minimals lying around. Every
time when I want to switch to ConTeXt minimals, I execute
    . ~/context/tex/setuptex
(or add ~/context/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin to PATH variable - which is
equivalent to executing setuptex).

I could have added ~/context/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin to PATH in
.bash_profile and then minimals would be used by default and I would
have to modify path whenever I would want to use TeX Live.

Basically all you need to do to change the distribution used is to change PATH.
