texexec vs texmfstart texexec.rb
by Sanjoy Mahajan 16 Nov '06

16 Nov '06

I'm just checking over the context man pages (which Hans sent me off list) that will go into the next TeXLive. The main change since the old (Perl) days is that texexec is now not a standalone program. Rather, one calls it using texmfstart. So people will be confused when they see a man page for texexec but find no executable with the same name. Similarly, there's a man page for texmfstart but no texmfstart executable. Instead it's a ruby script texmfstart.rb. So I think that the default installation should supply the direct executables. Here's what I do on Linux (no idea whether any of the above or below applies to Windows). For texmfstart: #!/bin/sh ruby `kpsewhich --format=texmfscripts texmfstart.rb` "$@" For texexec: #!/bin/sh texmfstart texexec.rb "$@" Both are in ~/bin but ideally for TeXlive they would go to /usr/bin (or wherever TeXlive puts things). -Sanjoy `Never underestimate the evil of which men of power are capable.' --Bertrand Russell, _War Crimes in Vietnam_, chapter 1.

Gyre enhancements
by Adam Lindsay 16 Nov '06

16 Nov '06

The attached file is intended to be a drop-in-replacement for type-gyr. I added (sc/osf) variant support for termes/pagella/bonum (and only under those names, not the normal "Adobe" names). Cheers, adam

Re: [dev-context] dev-context post from mgb@yosemite.net requires approval

Hi, This reminds me: Hans, can you set the maximum post size for dev-context a bit higher? 40k is so small that the simplest things on this list need to be approved.

<module authors> Contextgarden modules and TeXLive deadline

Hi all, Hans Hagen wrote: >> > > maybe at least have a release before tex live gets frozen ... 20/11 in reply to Mojca. In fact, this is true for all context modules currently in the garden or still on your harddisks only: if you want your module to be on the next TeXLive / TeX Collection, please make sure that: * your module uses a TeX Directory Structure (TDS) compliant disk layout (ask for help if you don't know how to arrange that) * the to-be-used version of it is on the third party section of http://modules.contextgarden.net on November 18th, no later (ask for help if you don't know how to arrange that) * there is some documentation, preferably with TeX sources, included * the license is filled in, and compatible with TeXLive / TeX Collection (LPPL|GPL|BSD|PD are all fine) * email me !* The more ConTeXt stuff we have on TeXLive, the more useful TeXLive will be for other ConTeXt users, so please consider spending a bit of effort on this in the coming week ! Greetings, Taco *(unless your module is already included in cont-ext.zip)

pdfetex: Not writing to ../../type-enc

Just out of curiosity: what exactly do the following messages mean? I'm experiencing a strange problem on the garden: some things that work in "live" fail on the wiki. (/opt/local/texmf/tex/context/cont-sys.texpdfetex: Not writing to ../type-exa (openin_any = p). pdfetex: Not writing to ../../type-exa (openin_any = p).

An Idea for the garden
by Aditya Mahajan 17 Oct '06

17 Oct '06

Hi Patrick, Occasionally, while browsing sources at source.contextgarden.net, I feel the need of seeing the pdf copy of that file. I wonder how difficult will it be to add a link, say "View pdf" with each file listing, so that if I click that link, I see the output of texexec --module filename.tex I do not know if the perl scripts support this. From what I remember, in perl texutil kept care of generate module listing. Maybe, the pdf files can be cached (no idea how) so that they are not regenerated, or maybe they can be autogenerated each time the source files are updated. Do not spend too much time on this, I can always do it on my own machine :-) Aditya

Bug in ruby register code?
by Duncan Hothersall 16 Oct '06

16 Oct '06

Seems to be a bug in the ruby code that works properly in the perl. Try: ---- \starttext \index{Knuth}\input knuth \par \seeindex{Knuth}{Tufte}\input tufte \par \blank\placeindex \stoptext ---- With the perl scripts it's right: Knuth 1 see Tufte but with the new ruby scripts it's wrong: Knuth see Tufte, 1 I don't know if it's relevant but the difference between the two .tuo files seems just to be reversal of two lines; the perl run shows: \registerentry{index}{k} \registerentrya{index}{Knuth} \registerpage{index}{,}{1}{2--0-0-0-0-0-0-0--1}{1} \registersee{index}{,}{Tufte}{2--0-0-0-0-0-0-0} while the ruby run shows: \registerentry{index}{k} \registerentrya{index}{Knuth} \registersee{index}{,}{Tufte}{2--0-0-0-0-0-0-0} \registerpage{index}{,}{1}{2--0-0-0-0-0-0-0--1}{1} [I discovered this by trying out the code on live.contextgarden, and I couldn't understand why I was getting different output from apparently the same beta - but then I noticed that the live server is still using the old texexec script. Perhaps this ought to be fixed (though it was very useful in this case!).] Duncan
