Hi all,
I am changing the way modules are installed in the ArchLinux aur package for luametatex.
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/luametatex/
Earlier, I was just sym-linking to the modules installed by context-minimals-git package (which I also maintain). However, some packages there were out of date (in particular pgf/tikz). The new PKGBUILD installs the modules directly from CTAN.
The following modules are installed by default:
filter, vim, visualcounter, pgf, pgfplots, circtuitikz
You can install other modules by adding them in the PKGBUILD.
I am not sure if anyone else actually uses this PKGBUILD to maintain an up-to-date installation of LMTX. If someone does use it, and wishes to add more modules to the default list, I'll be happy to do that.
Aditya

Not sure if it's for every package, but should be just "http://mirrors.ctan.org/" .. data.ctan.path .. ".zip" in scripts.ctan.details. E.g. from https://ctan.org/json/2.0/pkg/lm: ctan.path = /fonts/lm => zip url = http://mirrors.ctan.org/fonts/lm.zip I think it may be better to get packages from TeX Live. They are already "built" (although this is probably not necessary for packages that ConTeXt is interested in) and split into documentation, sources and runtime files. The TeXLive database: http://mirrors.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet/tlpkg/texlive.tlpdb or http://mirrors.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet/tlpkg/texlive.tlpdb.xz E.g: name lm category Package revision 58637 shortdesc Latin modern fonts in outline formats relocated 1 longdesc The Latin Modern family of fonts consists of 72 text fonts and [...] docfiles size=657 RELOC/doc/fonts/lm/GUST-FONT-LICENSE.TXT RELOC/doc/fonts/lm/MANIFEST-Latin-Modern.TXT [...] runfiles size=10645 RELOC/fonts/afm/public/lm/lmb10.afm RELOC/fonts/afm/public/lm/lmbo10.afm [...] Then: http://mirrors.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet/archive/lm.tar.xz http://mirrors.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet/archive/lm.doc.tar.xz Some packages also have "srcfiles" and the source files tar: http://mirrors.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet/archive/X.source.tar.xz PS: To be frank I didn't manage to even run the mtx-ctan script, seems like a problem with locating libs-imp-curl.lmt, although util-jsn.lua is fine and is also "require"d.

For example, for pgf (which is locate at /graphics/pgf/base), we have https://mirrors.ctan.org/graphics/pgf/base.zip which lists all tex related files in base/tex sub-directory. The CTAN page (https://www.ctan.org/pkg/pgf) also has a field "TDS Archive", which lists: http://mirrors.ctan.org/install/graphics/pgf/base/pgf.tds.zip which is TDS compliant. The same is the case for circuitikz and pgfplots. So, it safer to use "http://mirrors.ctan.org/" .. data.ctan.path .. "/" .. pkg_name .. "tds.zip" But, for context packages, CTAN does nto have the tds zips (I guess because the default zip is already TDS compliant). For example: https://www.ctan.org/pkg/context-filter has the "download" link at the bottom but not the "TDS Archive" link. In the end, since I am only installing 4-5 packages, it is simpler to input the URLs but hand rather than write code to automate the logic.

Oops, sorry, I completely forgot to mention that indeed what I mention corresponds to the download link on the package page, which in general "shouldn't be" in TDS format. Only packages whose authors upload their own TDS zip have these .tds.zip files you found: From https://www.ctan.org/help/upload-pkg: > The CTAN team has decided that packages on the archive shall remain in > a browsing-friendly layout, i.e. the best format is to have all the > files inside a directory.
