Definitely the whole community of the Alpine and Void Linux distributions. The Alpine people have a build script in their ports tree, but this does not build LuaJITTeX and---well---you have to build the entire TeXlive yourself which is quite time consuming. https://git.alpinelinux.org/cgit/aports/tree/testing/texlive/APKBUILD https://forum.voidlinux.eu/t/latex-texlive-on-void-musl/2631 Alpine Linux seems to be extremely popular in the container industry, e.g. Docker, and I wanted to base my ConTeXt Docker image on that (but can't at the moment). > > Mojca > ___________________________________________________________________________________ > If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the > Wiki! > > maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context > webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net > archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ > wiki : http://contextgarden.net > ___________________________________________________________________________________ > ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
