Hello, I do not plan changes until three weeks from now, but I have just realized that: - pdfTeX hardly keeps changing at all - XeTeX hardly keeps changing at all (there have been some recent changes in microtypography though) - there are constant problems with building pdfTeX and XeTeX on different platforms - ConTeXt is leaving pdfTeX and XeTeX behind - both developers of pdfTeX and XeTeX seem to be pretty busy, so bug reports in building process for both of them rarely get fixed - building LuaTeX trunk hardly makes any sense unless it's done on daily basis which nobody does or is willing to do (apart for testing the building process and reporting problems before the official beta is released) - metapost is being built together with luatex - TeX Live 2010 has just been released, so binaries from TeX Live should do their job As a consequence, I plan to change the whole building process into a single step: - just build the latest luatex beta - take luatex and metapost from that build - take everything else from TeX Live - (maybe try to build luatex trunk, but don't commit it into repository) Any objections or other comments? (I feel that frequent building of pdfTeX and XeTeX could help find the problems in building much faster than during the lenghty TL production, but if developers are not too responsive, that hardly helps. When we started the minimals, all kinds of new functionality has been added to XeTeX that was crucial for proper functionality of ConTeXt in XeTeX, but I don't know of any other recent addition with that kind of influence.)
