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? Considering that I have XeTeX 0.996, do I want to, or should I stick with what currently works?
I don't have the answer, but I can tell you how I'm actually using context and luatex. First , i don't install anything fromt ubuntu about TeX: I only use last TeXLive under /opt/texlive I keep a mkii version of context here, and i have update with last pdftex and metapost. Second, for mkiv I always use new context files from pragma; I compile last metapost and luatex and put all stuff under /opt/luatex I feel good with this, because i can change/update distro without pain, and manage stuffs under /opt is also easy. I admit that this is not a 'debian' or ubunto way, but i use linux from 0.99 kernel, and the only things i have found stable is filesystem hierarchy -- luigi http://wiki.contextgarden.net/User:Luigi.scarso/Merry_Christmas_2007 .... it's new . it's powerful . it's luatex . http://www.luatex.org
