Hello,
I try to use the beta versions of ConTeXt and pdfTeX now and I find the
following issue (on latest TeX-live):
with "TEXFORMATS = .;$TEXMF/web2c/{$engine,}" in texmf.cnf and
pdfTeX-1.40.XXX, texexec --make writes the formats to
texmf-config/web2c/pdfetex but pdftex looks only into texmf-config/web2c
A symbolic link from texmf-config/web2c/cont-en.fmt to pdfetex/cont-en.fmt
solves the problem.
Is this issue already known and is there perhaps a better solution?
Cheers, Peter

pdfetex is no longer valid, it's pdftex now (includes etex); so. remove any trace of pdfetex, take the latest texexec, adn regenerate the formats
(in this respect 1.40 is not downward compatible with tex live)

Hello Hans,
this is exactly what I did: I removed bin/pdfetex and web2c/pdfetex.pool
and then "texexec --make --all" puts its format to
web2c/pdfetex/cont-en.fmt
It's texexec from ConTeXt-2006.10.27

Do you mean TeX live 2005 or the development version (svn-head)?
Does "not downward compatible" mean, that there are other more serious
issues?
Cheers, Peter

each year downward compatibily has someho wbeen broken (changes in binaries, tds, font names; but by now texmfstart/texexec should catch such problems)
