[Context] [Bug 379146] [NEW] mtxrun

11 Jun '11

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.

[Context] compiling xpdf tools
by Mojca Miklavec 22 Feb '10

Hello, Maybe someone knows that already (else I can research or ask on the appropriate mailing list): is there an easy way to compile just pdfinfo, pdffonts, ... etc. from xpdf sources? (These two are the only two tools that I often used.) Akira and TeX Live provide those binaries for Windows, but I somehow miss them on my mac. Yes, I know that I can install them, but I assume that others (ConTeXt users) may find those tools handy as well and may lack them on their computers. I'm thinking about shipping them (even if only as optional installs). Maybe they are missing in TL because they are considered to be standard on any linux? Mojca

OK, so we need to sync the .svn folders along with luatex sources for minimals then if we want ConTeXt users to see the LuaTeX version :) Mojca (Not sure if I'm indeed going to do that, but it sounds tempting.)
