XeTeX

Dear builders, I'm soon going to add XeTeX back to the list of sources/binaries to faciliate testing of some major changes. The binaries will be uploaded to TLContrib. I need to adapt the scripts first and will let you know as soon as it gets ready. Mojca

I use gcc 4.5.2 I'm clueless at the moment and my gut feeling says that it's not the compiler, rather some header that gets included and shouldn't. But I may be totally off with that. Marco

Fwd: Luatex 0.75.0 announcement
by Mojca Miklavec 01 Mar '13

01 Mar '13

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Taco Hoekwater <taco(a)elvenkind.com> Hi, I have just uploaded the archives for a new luatex release, 0.75.0. Most noticeable changes: * New expandable primitive \Uchar. * Metapost 1.790. * New version of lnodelib.c with speedups by Hans and Luigi. Also added some extra sanity checks to the Lua node field setting functions. * Support 'umath' in tex.extraprimitives(), so that formats can make the \Umath* primitives unprefixed, now that they will be provided by XeTeX as well. * Removed a bunch of deprecated primitives * \AlephVersion, \Alephrevision, \Alephversion, \Alephminorversion * \OmegaVersion, \Omegarevision, \Omegaversion, \Omegaminorversion * \omathcode, \odelcode, \omathchardef, \omathchar, \omathaccent, \odelimiter, \oradical * \Umathbotaccent, \Umathaccents * Fix large file support. * Fix Lua's loadfile(). * Removed the cidmap callbacks again (let that be done by user lua code after the fact). * Removed the fatal error on fonts where num_glyphs is too high, as that problem is actually harmless. * Some compilation issues under Win32 and Solaris resolved. NOTE: You still need an 'installed' pkg-config while building luatex. Either install pkg-config for your platform, or make sure there is a binary linking to /bin/true while configuring. The requirement is for the executable 'pkg-config' itself, not for any particular package. * Allow math extender objects to be zero width. * The 'epdf' library has been extended to deal with finding and saving embedded files (catalog:numEmbeddedFiles() and catalog: embeddedFile, new EmbFile object). The archives can be downloaded from supelec as usual: https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/luatex/ You could also check out the sources via anonymous svn: svn co --username anonsvn --password anonsvn \ https://foundry.supelec.fr/svn/luatex/tags/beta-0.75.0 Bugs and feature requests can be added to the issue tracker at http://tracker.luatex.org Have fun, Taco

Nevermind. I've found the table here: http://luajit.org/install.html and I'll try to exclude compilation of luajittex on the platforms that have no chance of getting luajittex compiled at all. Here's the list, please let me know if I got any of the platforms wrong: x86_64-linux - YES (gcc 4.x) i386-linux - YES (gcc 3.4+) powerpc-linux - YES (gcc 4.3+) armel-linux - YES (gcc 4.2+, not sure if armelhf also works?, but we don't currently include it) x86_64-darwin - YES i386-darwin - YES? (compilation works for me on 10.7, but Dick has problems on 10.6) powerpc-darwin - NO? (based on website claims) universal-darwin - [if the above is true, we can only ship the i386 part of the binary if needed by anyone] amd64-freebsd - YES? (website claims the contrary, but Alan compiled it) amd64-kfreebsd - same as above i386-freebsd - YES i386-kfreebsd - YES i386-solaris - YES? (website doesn't mention Solaris at all, but LuaJIT alone builds on i386 Solaris where I tested just fine; Marco didn't commit anything yet) sparc-solaris - NO (I also get 'lj_arch.h:55:2: error: #error "No support for this architecture (yet)"') So: I'll exclude some platforms when building, but I would also like to ask Luigi to test if luajittex has any chance to be built at all, so that compilation won't run forever just to hit the #error "No support for this architecture (yet)" towards the end of building process.

cross compilation fails

LuaJITTeX
by Mojca Miklavec 02 Jan '13

02 Jan '13

Hello, I just added Luigi Scarso to this mailing list and added luajittex to the sources. I'm now changing the scripts to support building luajittex along metapost and luatex. I will let you know as soon as the scripts for building luajittex will be ready for testing. Mojca

New LuaTeX and MetaPost
by Mojca Miklavec 26 Dec '12

26 Dec '12

Hi, Taco announced the release of new LuaTeX and MetaPost a few hours ago. This means a new request for building for you, however in the experiments so far LuaTeX only compiled on two out of three platforms for me (it failed on i386-linux and sparc-solaris) and there seem to be some more generic problems with metapost (missing file for inclusion), so please don't be surprised if you experience problems (or rather: please be patient until potential problems get resolved, and report problems if you experience any). Norbert also found a compatibility problem (older ConTeXt doesn't run with this LuaTeX). Merry Christmas to everyone, Mojca

Fwd: [luatex] Luatex 0.72.0 announcement
by Mojca Miklavec 11 Dec '12

11 Dec '12

Dear builders, Now that a new version of LuaTeX is out, I would like to ask you for new builds. With the move to the new server I took the liberty to reorganize the repositories a bit, so please make sure to make fresh checkouts from http://svn.contextgarden.net/suite/build-binaries/ instead of just "svn up" from the old address. I didn't change anything in the scripts themselves, but the following has changed: - the above mentioned address (maybe I could commit a message into the old repository, saying that everything has changed) - location from where the binaries are synced - location of svn repository with binaries - I removed pdftex and xetex (but I probably did that long time ago) I need to manually change the entries in TLContrib before the binaries get updated there. If there are any problems, please let me know.

This release exists mostly to get back into the habit of releasing, you can expect another release in a month or so. There are a few small improvements, but not that many bugs fixed yet in this version. Most noticeable changes: * update various used libraries, including mplib 1.770, poppler 0.21, libpng 1.5, and lpeg 0.10.2. * new 'pdfscanner' lua library. * various OT math fixes, including \Umathcharnumdef. * improved placement of bottom accents. * various other small fixes that have accumulated over the past year-and-a-half.

updated binaries, please keep testing TL 2012
by Mojca Miklavec 24 May '12

24 May '12

Hello, the majority of binaries in ConTeXt distribution have been updated from TeX Live 2012 now (missing are only linux-64, linux-ppc by Thomas S., and possibly some from windows). (Builders might want to be careful a bit, I'm afraid that simply running the script would downgrade luatex because I increased the version in binaries, while sources are still at 0.70.1, so please don't try to build anything, except for Thomas who might want to test building the TL ;) Mac OS X Tiger is not supported any more. If there are any objections, you can help me figure out why building fails, else we are done with 10.4 forever. (We got 8 visitors of 10.4 on website [minimals.contextgarden.net] since January this year. I have no way to check if any tiger user actually uses the minimals or not. We still have an impressive number of PowerPC users.) In the morning you should also see an update of ConTeXt in TeX Live 2012, matching the latest beta from yesterday. Please post feedback or any issues that you might experience. Mojca

[Context] announcing server change, possible downtime
by Mojca Miklavec 28 Oct '11

28 Oct '11

Dear ConTeXt-ers, in the following days we will piecewise move parts of old server to a new machine (this will happen once again, but this time it might be slightly more dramatic change). Thus I would like to ask you to be patient if something stops working. The wiki has already been moved, so this should not be a problem. Some sites will be reorganized, but I will inform you about details. In particular, minimals will also change, but details will follow. One thing that might be a tiny bit problematic are SVN repositories. We need to upgrade them from SVN 1.5 to 1.7, so anyone using SVN repositories from garden *might* need to do a fresh checkout. I didn't test anything yet though, I only know that I had problems with the client on my machine now that MacPorts upgraded SVN. (I have also found a weird bug in 1.7.1 client.) I have no idea how server-side upgrades behave on clients. This should more or less affect only me, Taco and those who build binaries for minimals. Plus those who work on meeting/group website occasionally. Mojca
