So I am simply asking: How can I use older betas or how can I get the
source of LuaTeX 1.05 on a Mac and compile it?
Mojca is setting up the build bots so one of these days there will be
binaries.
You can fetch it from here:
http://dl.contextgarden.net/build/luatex/
(those binaries should end up in minimals very soon).
But on Mac we are currently experiencing some build problems on
existing machines, most likely due to some problems with outdated
timestamps of generated files. I'm waiting for Luigi to fix the
problem.
i'm somewhat puzzled by timestamps as i can compile here on my machine
(which has a rather limited linux box)
But aside from that. If you (developers, not users) want to call one
version of LuaTeX 1.05, you should tag a version 1.05.
well, maybe, but then we end up with lots of small-step version numbers
which is not what we like (in fact, a tag is ok for tex live but we
might want to test a precursor on the garden with context first as we
can fix context issues quite fast)
Increasing the version numbers in trunk and skipping any official
releases is a pretty bad development practice.
Usually you would put experimental features to trunk and whatever you
want to end up at users to tags or potentially stable maintained
branches that get bugfixes.
we use trunk (and therefore the garden) for testing too, so it's okay
wrt version numbers (if needed we can distinguish builds with
status.develooment_id) and we can at some point also use the revision
number (which in the past was not used properly) .. also, normally a
garden beta (+bins) is a working combination
anyway, once the bot works ok we can hapilly move forward
