yearly current

yearly current

[Hans Hagen]

Hi,

We're getting close to tex live freeze and part of that process is a 
luatex release as well as a context snapshot. There have been no betas 
for a while and the reason is that I've been cleaning up some code as 
well as optimizing some bits. As a consequence it could be that there 
are some issues with an upcoming luatex / context pair but because there 
has been no real fundamental changes in the typesetting part problems 
will be easy to sort out (like using an undefine lua function or so).

Anyway, if you are not that adventurous or depend on the current 
version, you can best make a copy or not update from the garden too 
eager, just wait till the lists reports no crashes.

We will try to fix luatex/context things as fast as possible,

Hans
Luigi

hi,

it _might_ be that I have been just bitten by this (or it is completely  
unrelated ;-)): I have previously installed standalone context on a mac  
w/o problems and am using it just fine.

but today I moved my current document project to a ubuntu machine for  
testing purposes. since there seems to be only an ancient `context'  
provided via apt-get (from 2015) I just installed the standalone on the  
ubuntu machine, too, following the instructions as good I could. context  
and luatex point to the executables in  
/usr/local/context/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin etc.

so it _seems_ to be set up correctly: but the compile run for the document  
(compiling just fine on the mac/older context installation) crashes on the  
ubuntu with a last line:

clearontext     | fatal error: no return code, message: luatex: execution  
interrupted

(w/o trailing linefeed, too...).

if I can provide further info, please let me know.

best,
joerg

it depends ... we're talking about luatex 1.0.3 (not on the garden yet) 
and a not yet published context update ... so it must be something 
different at your end

ok, thanks. so I misunderstood... any advice how to proceed regarding my  
problem? the error message doesn't mean anything to me, so I do not have  
any idea how to fix this (even if it were a stupid oversight on my part)  
...
