My new Ubuntu installation includes TeXLive version 2007-10. Is there a way for me to keep the ConTeXt part of this up-to-date with current (stable) versions?
ctxtools --updatecontext One (unofficial) way to update (only ConTeXt) is also: rsync -rvzctlp rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/current/context/current/ your-texmf-tree and then remake the formats manually.
Considering that I have XeTeX 0.996, do I want to, or should I stick with what currently works?
For XeTeX it's probably advisable to have a recent ConTeXt version, but not neccessary the latest SVN binaries (it's nice to have them, but not obligatory). 0.996 still works OK, only a bit slower (new important fixes might also come out soon). In the case of LuaTeX you really need the latest binary. Mojca
