Because the plain files are not there (I did a fresh install). I'll fix
that. It's a side effect of a change in generating the archives (i use a
- lua - definition file for that in which is specified what ends up in
the main garden distribution and what in the smaller lmtx one).
As a side note: a while ago mojca and i discussed the future repository
and installation setup which will use github repositories
(1) - context (including luametatex sources)
(2) - binaries (for a subset of platforms)
(3) - resources (like fonts and such)
(4) - modules (stable ones pushed from the main garden repos)
but we simply didn't find time to follow up on that. We have to adapt
installers too and we want to do it right from the start.
Now, we're not in a particular hurry, but in playing with all this it
can happen that the current distributions get flaws.
(As a side effect the more or less official release of luametatex has
been postponed a few times because it depends on (1) which in turn
depends on pushing older context distributions etc. But then, due to the
current health crisis, time has slowed down anyway.)
