Hello,
apart from a pending fix for TeX Live installer (shell script
"install-tl") which writes out a proper texmfcnf.lua based on what
user enters as his/her preferences for locations of TEXMFHOME etc. (if
you don't touch any settings, this is not too important and if you do,
you can manually fix the file) and some yet-to-be-made decision about
when to run 'mtxrun --generate" (which you can also ignore and simply
run mtxrun --generate by hand), ConTeXt in TeX Live 2011 should work
now, thanks to all the effort that Taco in particular has put into
this.
If anyone is willing to help to work on man pages, please feel free to
volunteer (context man page has already been committed, mtxrun not,
but both of them need more input).
The following is the list of modules. If you miss any, it is now the
best time to ask. (TikZ is also there; I need to test it, but it
should work.)
depend context-account
depend context-algorithmic
depend context-bnf
depend context-chromato
depend context-construction-plan
depend context-degrade
depend context-filter
depend context-fixme
depend context-french
depend context-fullpage
depend context-games
depend context-gnuplot
depend context-letter
depend context-lettrine
depend context-lilypond
depend context-mathsets
depend context-notes-zh-cn
depend context-rst
depend context-ruby
depend context-simplefonts
depend context-simpleslides
depend context-top-ten
depend context-typearea
depend context-typescripts
depend context-vim

Hi,
For those of you who are not 'in the loop', so to say: instructions
for running the texlive 2011 pretest are here:

Dear Mojca, dear Taco,
Thank you for sharing th einfo on TexLIve 2011 pretest.
I would like to let you know that I downloaded
mactex20110529.mpkg.zip
from one of the sites on
http://tug.org/texlive/pretest.html
and after unzipping, tried to install the pacjkage for pretesting. However, I get an error message stating that:
The package could not be completed.
(com.apple.installer.pagecontroller error -1.)
Couldn't open "mactex20110529.mpkg".
This is just to inform you about an issue (I use only ConTeXt from th eminimals at this point).
Best regards: OK

In past emails on the list you mention that you are using Snow
Leopard. I guess the same is true for the machine where you tested
MacTeX or do you happen to have some Tiger left somewhere in the
corner?
The weird thing is that the same file worked for me on 64-bit SL
(10.6.7) a few days ago and unless there is some file corruption
present (but then it wouldn't even unzip properly), mactex didn't
change since then.
Mojca
PS: Not relevant for your report, but I would warn you that MacTeX
doesn't yet have an out-of-the-box working ConTeXt (you need to update
context first, but even then there are some "problems" with outdated
texmfcnf.lua file), but that was probably already evident from the
release date that is part of the name as we only got a properly
working ConTeXt today in the morning (tomorow morning follows another
no-so-critical fix).

Hi Mojca,
Sorry for not having stated the OS and machine on which I tried the MacTex package: yes I am on a Mac Intel Core 2 Duo, and Mac OS X 10.6.7.
Right now I don't have Tiger at hand, but maybe I can find one with a friend willing to try.
Regarding what you say about your experience of MacTex under Mac OS X 10.6.7, it is indeed weird that it doesn't work for me.
Would it be possible that unzipping with Zipeg (an application which I use for expanding zipped files) may explain the difference between your experience and mine?
Thanks again for your efforts for bringing ConTeXt in various flavors to the Mac community!
Best regards: OK

If the program is faulty or if there were problems with download
(incomplete download for example) and your program ignored that, yes.
But in general this is not very common. You can try "md5sum
mactex20110529.mpkg.zip" and try to unzip with something else.
I would say that it might be best to ask Richard Koch, the author of
MacTeX, but I'm not sure that he would be able to help either.
An alternative is to wait for the next version of MacTeX and see if
that one is going to work any better.

How do I indicate that context-vim depends on context-filter?
