If you want to use this package side-by-side with TeXLive, you might need to unset TEXMF or prefix some of its commands with TEXMF="" - or alternatively set TEXMF temporarily for the context commands, ideally with a little helper script.

Currently this package places binaries into /usr/local/bin to avoid conflicts with texlive. I am investigating how to handle this appropriately.

Please see the context-lmtx-bin package for an alternative way to install context lmtx which works side-by-side with TeXLive.

Maybe luatex should be added to the provides entry? And at least to the conflicts array!

Or should the luatex executable be removed from the package, so that the package luatex (luatex-git) can provide it?

Regards!

This package is called context. So, please remove the context entry from the conflicts and provides arrays. And you can add =${pkgver} to the context-lmtx entry in the provides array.

Thhanks for maintaining!

This package installs stuff into /usr/local/.

This must not happen. Proper packages must install to the "official" directories, e.g. /usr/. /usr/local/ is reserved for stuff not installed via packages.

Please fix.

This is what the package does in /usr/local/: 

context /usr/local/
context /usr/local/bin/
context /usr/local/bin/context
context /usr/local/bin/context.lua
context /usr/local/bin/luametatex
context /usr/local/bin/luatex
context /usr/local/bin/mtxrun
context /usr/local/bin/mtxrun.lua

Regards!

can't use metapost packages in texlive, e.g. 'input metauml' will result in emergency stop.

@xeruf pragma-ade.com is too slow, can't install. can we download texmf.zip manually?

Got the same issue with latex on my side, did not find a proper solution thus far :/ Workaround is to prefix the command with TEXMF="", for example: https://code.ftt.gmbh/janek/dotfiles/src/branch/main/.local/bin/scripts/tx

I can't use mptopdf (from TexLive) after export TEXMF="/usr/share/texmf-dist/texmf-context/"

the mptopdf in texlive failed to execute,

and the file '/usr/share/texmf-dist/texmf-context/scripts/context/perl/mptopdf.pl' doesn't have execute property.
