Hi guys,

I haven't played with 
ConTeXt for three month because of my examinations. Today, I delete the 
old version and reinstall a new one from the ConTeXt garden, but it 
seems that the new one can't run successfully. It says that unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua. The error messages is the following:

that needs a bit of thinking; in mkiv it's easier as there the engine 
runs context and context then determines it while in pdftex an old 
format and new engine does not come that far; what could be made to work 
is auto format making when there is a context update (and forget about 
the engine)

Wow, great :) Mindreading.

Thanks a lot,
    Mojca

PS (not to be taken too seriously): The second thought probably had to
do with "if there's format version mismatch in mkii, write out some
temporary file or some signal line in tuo file that triggers 'texexec
--make' in the 'post-processing step' and thus eliminates the need to
do it manually every time" or did I misinterpret the signal that came
all the way from Netherlands? :) :) :)

Coincidence: Hans and I discussed this same thing just this morning.

We decided we want b) but only if there is no database at
all yet (to avoid lengthy processing of mtxrun --script fnts)

Best wishes,
Taco

unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua'

[Mojca Miklavec]

Hans,

why don't you add a special-case in this case:

> context test
MTXrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua'

if 'context.lua' cannot be found then either:
a) instead of printing out "unknown script 'context.lua'" print out
"please run 'luatools --generate'" - it will be less confusing for
users
b) or (may be even better) try to run "luatools --generate"
automatically and then retry

I guess that there is some not-too-difficult way to figure out from
within mtxrun that no database exists yet.

Mojca
