Description Otso Helenius 2010-11-21 15:20:58 UTC

This bug should be assigned to jnovy as it is related to the TL2010 packaging in Fedora (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Talk:Features/TeXLive).

I have installed all texlive 2010 packages from the F14 repo, and am unable to compile .tex files with context using luatex.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make a test.tex file with just 3 lines:

\starttext
Hello World
\stoptext

2. Run "context test.tex"

context complains:

MTXrun | unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua'

trying to resolve it by running "luatools --generate" as instructed everywhere (both as normal user and root) returns:

LuaTools | fileio: variable 'SELFAUTOLOC' set to '/usr/bin'
LuaTools | fileio: variable 'SELFAUTODIR' set to '/usr'
LuaTools | fileio: variable 'SELFAUTOPARENT' set to '.'
LuaTools | fileio: variable 'TEXMFCNF' set to '{$SELFAUTODIR,$SELFAUTOPARENT}{,{/share,}/texmf{-local,.local,}/web2c}'
LuaTools | fileio: no cnf files found (TEXMFCNF may not be set/known)

Thus is impossible to use ConTeXt to run LuaTeX as it is not properly configured.

Comment 1 Jindrich Novy 2011-01-01 16:53:58 UTC

One possible workaround is to call luatools/context like this:

$ SELFAUTOPARENT=/usr/share/texlive luatools --generate
$ SELFAUTOPARENT=/usr/share/texlive context <file>.tex

then everything works for me as expected. I will try to automate it by tweaking luatools and mtxrun LUA scripts that fail to autodetect the main TEXMF tree.

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-16 18:31:43 UTC

This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained.  At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this 
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen 
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that 
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
