We have the binaries now (kindly contributed by Boris Veytsman). My
only question remains: how badly do you need ConTeXt to work *now*?

Until I set everything up, you have the following options:

1.) The binaries at http://www.tug.org/texlive/files/armel-linux-tl11/
should suffice to make a single-user installation of TeX Live 2011
which has a reasonable version of ConTeXt (not the latest one, but
it's a tested/patched release from early 2011). Karl says that
something like "install-tl -custom-bin=whatever" should work, but I
have never tested that.

2.) Adam Reviczky is maintaining some repositories at
https://code.launchpad.net/~reviczky/ (but it is not a single user
thing)

3.) You can copy a ConTeXt installation from whatever other platform
and just add the binaries from the link above. Some minor changes are
needed, but I speculate that if you set the path right, everything
should work out-of-the-box.

I'm asking about "how badly" because there will be a major
restructuring of everything sometime soon and I would not like to
spend too much time fixing the old infrastructure.
