Good news! I just wanted to say that including Scite with ConTeXt support in
minimals as an option will be very helpful to me, because I need to support
users who only work on Windows and are not really comfortable using only a
command line interface. I'll be happy to test this option.

why not support Emacs?  AucTeX is mature.

Well, I and another colleague do use Emacs on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux
alike. The folks I'm planning to help get started with ConTeXt, though, are
as intimidated by Emacs as they are by the command line. I'm hoping that
Scite will feel a bit more natural to them.

TeXworks would be a good choice too, if you want a simple interface that
just works. It can be used as a portable application on windows too, and
I believe it can combined easily with context minimals.

If you want something really comfortable for Windows users, try the  
Notepad++ setup:

http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Image:Npp_ConTeXt-Uni.zip

I don't have Vista, which uses a different dir structure for the files,  
but you can easily adopt this as needed.

Best wishes

Thanks! I'll play around a bit with TeXWorks and Notepad++.

right now the most important thing missing in the distribution is:
gs, ruby, xml stuffs, gzip, zip, and tidy.

of course; at best just include a whole Windows.

No, really, before providing everything in some monster install,  
better provide a Linux VM image.

the mswincontext zip always provided ruby and gs and as well as xmlproc 
and xsltproc

it's just that now that we have the garden minimals i no longer make my 
own so making mswincontex makes less sense too

however, mojca and i are working on a garden based variant (scite and 
texworks)

btw, if one uses mkiv, ruby is no longer needed unless one wants to run 
specific scripts that are not yet luafied; but then, installing ruby is 
no big deal anyway

How about process the mkii document using lua script too? So
eventually we can get rid of ruby and perl.

now context script supports --pdftex and --xetex switch, but it still
fall back to texexec and texutils ruby scripts.

for that i need to rewrite the index sorting in lua (plus a little bit

It depends if the Minimals are intended to be a complete TeX system or
if they are meant to be a minimal system for ConTeXt, possibly
complementing the utility programs from TeX Live.

minimals can still be a minimal system for ConTeXt.

Is it also possible to change --extras=... to --modules=... (or keep  
extra for old times sake)?

The option --goodies=texworks should work now. Once you run setuptex
(or if you have set the path), you should be able to call just
"texworks filename" from command line.

Hans ... I suspect that ConTeXt MKII (both pdftex and xetex) are
missing from the list ...

indeed. mkiv only as i don't want dependencies on perl/ruby in this case

(also, once the lua interface of texworks is stable and documented i'll 
see if i can make menus a bit more context friendly; for the moment i 
misuse the typesetting menu for a few 'features')

So ... should I start blackmailing with "I'll remove it from minimals
unless it starts supporting mkii" or rather with "I'll tell Jonathan
that your configuration doesn't support XeTeX"? :) :) :) :) :) :)

(Let's leave it up to users to install ruby themselves and it's
totally ok if mkiv stays the default, but I see no reason for not
providing XeTeX and pdfTeX support (with synctex switch on by default)
on purpose ...)

That's fine for me.

well, it's not that pdftex cq. xetex are not supported, but more that 
mtxrun defaults to luatex / mkiv (just as texexec defaults to pdftex) 
and *i* want to default to luatex (no matter how much you blackmail me)

users can

% engine=pdftex
% engine=xetex

at the top of their document if they want and mtxrun will then run 
texexec instead

if users want syntex on they can enable it with

\synctex=1

It seems that gnuplot set page orientation,
so best -dAutoRotatePages=/None
gs  -q -dNOPAUSE -dAutoRotatePages=/None  -sDEVICE=pdfwrite
-sOutputFile=x.pdf x.ps -c quit

well it's seems not fun at all -- absurde command line.
But it looks like the only ps interpreter alternative of gs on Linux /
Windows  .

because it adds another dependency (dll/lib mess) while using the gs 
program is not much slower anyway

For wrong paper orientation you can try (in gnuplot):

set term post
set output "x.ps"
plot sin(x)

and then convert the resulting file. For missing graphic I remember
exporting a file in OpenOffice Draw or something similar. (I can try
to find it.)

Exactly that's the problem. Removing this particular option from the
default options that are applied to GS run solves the problem.

hmm strange -- do you have an example ?
By defautl gs choose rotation studying dominant text orientation on current
page; cfr Setting page orientation
in Ps2pdf.htm
There is an option in pstopdf -dAutoRotatePages=/None .

A wrapper shell around gs

There is also pstill

the problem with eps is that there are too many alternatives possible 
(also, versions of gs behave differently); there are actually a coiple 
of options (like cropping, downsampling etc) but as usual those command 
line switches are not documented -)

sure, what else ... actually, pstopdf started out as some perl script 
long ago (when we started using pdftex) and we needed it not only in 
order to convert to pdf, but also to clean up some mess in eps files 
that interfered with the process

there's actually already something mtx-convert but it does not deal with 
eps

Unless Hans rewrites the whole GS interpreter ... yes.

The problem is that current pstopdf doesn't work reliably for me (no
way to do EPSCrop, sometimes wrong paper orientation, the graphic
missing completely ...), so I usually stick to ps2pdf (perl or shell,
I think) or just call gs manually.
