I've tried texmfstart ctxtools --update yesterday with the same result on Fedora linux and it didn't start automagically :( It was missing $TEXMFLOCAL defined. Should ctxtools read texmf.cnf where this variable is definied or should it be defined somewhere else? It is a general question. For the moment I've defined it locally. BTW, it is confusing if old texexec says: warning : use 'texmfstart texexec' instead and Hans has created stubs which are called the same so finally one should use texexec (new one, which calls texmstart). What is a prefered command to refer to (mailing list, contextgarden)? texexec or texmfstart? Should ./scripts/context/perl/texexec.pl still be distributed? And should ./scripts/context/ruby/newtexexec.rb (and others new*.rb sripts) still be distributed if it significantly differs from newer ./scripts/context/ruby/texexec.rb Jano > > Taco
