In order to purge the temporary context files I did (throught an alias)
texutil --purge
This worked fine.
Since the introduction of the ruby scripts this call now tells me:
remark: 'texutil' is now part of 'texexec'
warning: use 'texmfstart texutil' instead
So I obediently call:
texmfstart.rb texutil --purge
This silently does nothing.
Neither does work "texmfstart texexec --version" the same as did
"texexec --version".
The former giving the TeXExec version, the latter gave the installed
ConTeXt formats.
It is not "texmfstart texexec --purge" because I tried that too.
On the other hand, replacing "texexec --silent --pdf --autopdf file.tex"
by the same preceded with "texmfstart" does work as expected.
What happened?

texutil will go away (i.e. be a wrapper only); the functionality has been moved to texexec.rb, ctxtools.rb, pdftools.rb, rlxtools.rb etc
it's now:
ctxtools --purge

For those on UNIX(-like) systems that have only texmfstart.rb enabled
as executable (chmod a+x texmfstart.rb) this will not work as none
the ruby scripts in the distribution seem to have their execution
bits set.
The next seems mandatory if only texmfstart is enabled: texmfstart
ctxtools --purge

There is a whole bunch of shell stubs in the distribution, in
scripts/context/stubs/unix
but currently you always have to redo the "chmod +x" after each update
because the execution permission bit is not kept in the zip, so it
gets trashed during the unzip operation.

on unix, one needs to copy texmfstart.rb to texmfstart and copy it to
some bin path

Copying is imho not necessary. As long as the execution bits are set
any file can be made to execute by a shell. What to do is determined
by the shebang line.
I am working in MacOSX which is UNIX under the hood and
"texmfstart.rb" is excuted without the need for copying.

I'd like to confirm this, i tried
texmfstart texutil.rb test.tui
or
texmfstart texutil.rb --references test.tui
and nothing happened!
Although, texutil is called correctly when processing a file with texexec (maybe texexec calls methods from texutil.rb directly...)
Note: To check the installed formats and their version, use now:
texmfstart texexec --check

indeed, texexec.rb therefore does not need to start another script (so
we're faster now)

Yes, but is so much more verbose.
While previously a neat, short summary of the currently installed
formats was printed. Just what I wanted.

Of course I understand, I'd solve it the same way...
But, I'd suggest to print some warning, if some functionality is moved or removed.
E.g. if I try
texmfstart texutil.rb --figures
it also doesn't work but I'm informed what has happened.. ;-)
Thanks,
Richard
