I have been testing with yaourt. I will check bauerbill to see if it is 
doing something different (it should not)

Ah. I usually run with sudo which does not change $HOME.

Strange. On my machine I do not need to do this.

This means that the formats are created correctly.

Is that a typo (--generate), or did your really type --generated?

Did you run source /opt/context-minimals/setuptex before that.

This is the wrong luatools!!! My guess is that you are not running

source /opt/context-minimals/setuptex

so the path is not reset and you are using luatools from texlive.

These are texlive paths. What does "which luatools" give? You should get

/opt/context-minimals/texmf-linux-64/bin/luatools

or

/opt/context-minimals/texmf-linux/bin/luatools

depending on whether you are running 64bit or 32bit architecture.

There is something wrong with PKGBUILD because you still need to press 
enters during the installation. But once you do that, the installation 
should go on correctly. However, you are not running the minimals 
correctly.

Context-minimals is installed in parallel to texlive and as such does not 
add its binaries to the $PATH. This way, you can always run texlive. When 
you need to run the minimals, you need to execute

source /opt/context-minimals/setuptex

which sets some environment variables so that the minimal binaries are in 
$PATH. You always need to source setuptex before you use minimals. If you 
do not use texlive ever, you can add source /opt/context-minimals/setuptex 
to your .bashrc (or the rc file for whatever shell you use). If you invoke 
context from an editor, you can change the editor's startup scripts so 
that setuptex is sourced before the editor is started.
