Gerben, Thomas,
I'm cleaning my hard disk (and my mind) and reinstalling.
I changed the PATH (via bash tutorial...) and removed the sw tree.
I installed thru i-installer, including the context updater.
Now I have the two files mentioned by Thomas in their right place.
Updating ConTeXt I have obtained:
"You have just installed a ConTeXt installation 2005.10.27"
So, I'm supposing that, as Hans has patched the bug-free version, I
simply have to wait that automatically the new version is
installable.
Am I right?
if you use gwtex, it will happen automatically since gerben keeps
things pretty up to date
*Almost* automatic.
As soon as Hans updates either the beta or stable version of the
ConTeXt zip files, the next night (CET) the ConTeXt Updtare i-Package
is rebuilt and distributed to the repositories automatically. You still
need to install it yourself (it is i-Installer's philosophy that no
action will be performed unless a human accepts it, complete automation
without user intervention is a big potential security risk)
If you start i-Installer and go to the Preferences and you go to the
"Other" tab you can set an automatic check for updates on i-Packages
you have ("Check packages for updates..."). This creates a unix
'crontab' entry which is run at the time you have selected (e.g. every
day a 07:00). This entry runs a helper program that checks the remote
version of all your i-Packages and will report updated i-Packages via
Mail. It won't automatically update & install (as per the philosophy).
