[Context] [Bug 379146] [NEW] mtxrun

Public bug reported: from Alan BRASLAU, untested I did a fresh install of the minimals today and observed a fleeting, obscure mtxrun bug: $ context myfile did not find the script mtx-context.lua $ mtxrun --script /usr/local/context/tex/texmf-context/\ scripts/context/lua/mtx-context.lua myfile ran fine, as now does all subsequent runs of "context myfile". So something gets initialized, but is not found by default. You will only notice this upon a (totally) fresh install. ** Affects: context Importance: Undecided Status: New -- mtxrun https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/379146 You received this bug notification because you are a member of ConTeXt distribution team, which is the registrant for ConTeXt distribution.

Alan, thanks a lot for figuring that out. This should be documented on Wiki or in first-setup.sh. Just a question: what kind of server exactly does that "proxyhost" need to be? Mojca

Independent of that (considering the fact that luatex should not be trusted for production work anyway :) :) :) :) ... We should probably build it for the minimals, right? Mojca
