Obtaining an old standalone

Obtaining an old standalone

[Roger Mason]

Hello,

Is there a means of obtaining an old standalone?  I would like to get
ConTeXt  ver: 2016.01.04 15:47 MKIV beta  fmt: 2016.1.4

Thanks,
Roger

I have the zips for 2015.12.29 and 2016.02.15, if either of those would 
work.

OK, I have a box I can boot into Fedora 22, so that might work.

Can you please send both zips to my private e-mail?

Many thanks,

These are each 200MB, so sending by email might not work.

I uploaded them temporarily to
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/dg8xuyab5x3anju/AAA-tALrMZuDUCgMXRaYK6JCa?dl=0

The versions might be off by one (i.e., the 2016-02-15 tar file might 
contain the tex files for 2016-03-04).

Got them.  Thank you very much.

According to http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Standalone#Reverting_to_an_older_installation
I think something like `sh ./first-setup.sh --context=2016.1.4` should
help you.

Thank you.  That is well worth a try.

This is what I did:

sh ./first-setup.sh --context=2016.1.4 --all
. ~/Context/tex/setuptex
Setting "/home/rmason/Context/tex" as ConTeXt root.

cd to the directory containing my document, then

context document.tex

resolvers       | trees | analyzing 'home:texmf'
resolvers       | globbing | confusing filename, name: 'README.txt', lower: 'readme.txt', already: 'ReadMe.txt'
mtxrun          | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua'


Is there something else I need to do?

Thanks,
Roger

Dear Roger Mason,

I also had a similar problem recently after installing texlive 2017. 
But it is resolved now by doing the following  according to the suggestions:

run mtxrun —generate and luatools —generate

May be, “ luatools —generate" is OK.
I am using TeXshop in OS X. So I am not sure this works in Linux system.
I hope that it may help.

Good luck!

Best regards,

Dalyoung

Thanks for the suggestion.  Unfortunately it did not work:

luatools -generate

resolvers       | trees | analyzing 'home:texmf'
resolvers       | globbing | confusing filename, name: 'README.txt', lower: 'readme.txt', already: 'ReadMe.txt'
mtxrun          | unknown script 'base.lua' or 'mtx-base.lua'

But never mind, I can work round the issue that caused the need for the
old binaries.

Cheers,
Roger

Note that this should be luatools --generate (two hyphens, which got 
changed to an endash in the previous email).

Unfortunately 'luatools --generate' produces the same error.

I have worked round the problem that sparked my original post, so, with
thanks to all who offered help, I think we should leave this mystery for
posterity.

Best wishes,
Roger
