Ok, I have rewritten the Debian context package so that it does the
following:
On installation/update time a script context-build-formats is called
which reads the file
/etc/texmf/context/formats.cnf
where all the formats to be build are defined. Currently my file looks
like this:
#
# This file defines which ConTeXt formats are build
#
{pdftex,aleph} {de,en,it,mptopdf}
Yes, it expands the curly braces.
On removal currently I don't do anything, because I don't know how to
know which files should be removed. But this shouldn't be to hard,
remove /usr/share/texmf/web2c/$engine/$format.*
Anyway, it is not very intellignet the script, no error checking,
nothing, but it runs.
What do you say:
- you ConTeXt people: concerning the format file, the way of updating?
- you Debian people: concerning the new way to define it?
The context-build-formats should be something like fmtutil(-sys) for
context. I didn't come around to implement the difference between the
-sys and the normal variant, but it should be easy, as in fmtutil-sys.
Any suggestions?
BTW, here is the code for the script, it is short:
#!/bin/bash
# context-build-formats
export TEXMFSYSCONFIG=/usr/share/texmf
parse_line()
{
engine=$1
format=$2
eval set $engine
allengines="$@"
eval set $format
allformats="$@"
for e in $allengines ; do
for f in $allformats ; do
texexec --make --$e $f
done
done
}
OIFS=$IFS
IFS='
'
set $(echo x; sed '/^#/d; /^[ ]*$/d' "/etc/texmf/context/formats.cnf")
; shift
IFS=$OIFS
for line
do
parse_line $line;
done
# eof
You see where I robbed the code ... fmtutil.
Best wishes
Norbert
