How about delivering a new version through tlcontrib?
Doable***, but a new beta is usually released several times per day (and sometimes doesn't even compile the format).
Not that often, does it? Making formats is part of making the zip so it only fails when i forgot to add a file to the zip (in which case on my machine the file from my local tree is taken).
There is one extra prerequisite though: it would have to be marked as highly experimental. Not everyone who decides to add tlcontrib to the list of repositories should get the latest beta every few hours. This feature is or was on Taco's TODO list on my request, but putting ConTeXt modules into TLContrib structure currently has a much higher priority than this feature.
indeed. updating tlcontrib can happen with a low frequency (also because sometimes betas are real betas with new features)
It might be a lot easier/faster to simply create a second repository with just ConTeXt betas.
personally i always use special trees for projects that I inly update when i need a new feature Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
