Hi Norbert, > > Since I've upgraded luatex from 0.35 to 0.40, Context MkIV no longer works for > > me. When I run I've just also upgraded context to the latest beta, which fixes things. I wanted to find just the change needed to fix things, but I couldn't find any form of version control at upstream context, so I just settled for trying the latest beta. For anyone else wanting to try this, the following series of commands will give you a working .deb with the latest context beta. No guarantees, the deb is probably still broken in some subtle ways (just downgrading the lmodern dependency is bound to have some side effects...). # Get the debian packaging files svn co svn://svn.debian.org/svn/debian-tex/context/trunk context-debian cd context-debian # Get the context files rsync -rvzctlp rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/current/context/beta/ . # Add a changelog entry dch -v 2009.05.20.beta-1 "Local beta build" # Downgrade the lmodern dependency, since lmodern 1.106 is not yet in Debian sed -i "s/1.106/1.01/" debian/control # Allow convert-fonts-to-link to fail for some fonts that no longer exist sed -i "s/rm/rm -f/" debian/convert-fonts-to-link # Remove some non-free fonts (debian/rules complains about them) rm `cat debian/MANIFEST.nonfree ` # Build the package dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us -b > Ah yes, thanks for reminding me. I will try to fix that. The problem is > that the new luatex binaries do not export the etex/pdftex extensions by > default. That sounds like you just need some command line option? Or perhaps some change from newer context can be backported? Gr. Matthijs
