request for a few volunteers to test distribution on new server

[Mojca Miklavec]

Dear ConTeXters,

we will point the distribution to the new server later today (for a
moment without any significant changes). Before we do that I would
like to ask some of you to try out
   ./first-install.sh --server=distribution.contextgarden.net
to make sure that I didn't do any obvious mistake on the way.

The changes that I'm aware of are the following:

1.) changed names of math fonts

deleting fonts/opentype/public/lm/lmmath-regular.otf
deleting fonts/opentype/public/tex-gyre/texgyretermes-math.otf
deleting fonts/opentype/public/tex-gyre/texgyrepagella-math.otf
fonts/opentype/public/lm-math/lmodern-math.otf
fonts/opentype/public/tex-gyre-math/texgyrepagella-math.otf
fonts/opentype/public/tex-gyre-math/texgyretermes-math.otf

2.) some font documentation is missing, I forgot to include Asana Math
(fixing it) and there are some euler fonts there were not present
earlier (I need to look into that)

3.) gone: /doc, /experimental, /pragma, /texlive (none of those is
used, but /doc is now under /current/doc)

4.) alpha and dated context versions are gone (hardly make any sense
since they are too old and hardly usable)

5.) I see lots of (so far unexplained) changes in TikZ. I didn't try
to figure out what those are.

6.) I didn't set up headers/footers/icons yet to make the few
semi-(non-)useful notes on the website.

Mojca

(PS: there are other changes on the way, but I first want to make sure
that the old distribution will keep working as it did now.)

./first-setup.sh --server=distribution.contextgarden.net
is ok and
status-mkiv.tex compiles ok.

Hi Mojca,

I just checked the new server. There appear to be no obvious errors, 
everything works. Just a few small observations:

1. ./first-install.sh --server=distribution.contextgarden.net: I assume 
you meant ./first-setup.sh, right?

2. Is the rsync phase somewhat slower than it used to be? I have no real 
measurements, just the impression that it took somewhat longer.

3. I assume the "new" server doesn't get synced to the latest beta yet? 
Because I get 2012.11.29 18:40, but 2012.11.30 has been out since 
yesterday, according to the pragma website.

Thanks for the important and wonderful work, all best

Thomas

Which reminds me .. weren't we going to rename the script into 
"context-install' or so?

the previous server was probably located close to your home

Yes. (But Hans' point is also true.)

I don't know. There is a high chance that lots of things had to be
synchronized just because the date is different than it used to be on
the old server. Maybe you observed that? But I didn't do any timings
either.

(Hans' explanation is also possible, but less likely.)

I'm actually curious about the highest speed that people can get when
fetching files from the server.

Thanks for noticing. ConTeXt itself has been updated, I still need to
figure out why it hasn't been synced to the distribution.
