== Install a MetaPost update == The included MetaPost in teTeX is a bit outdated. If you want, you can fetch and install the latest MetaPost from sarovar. The current release is 0.901.Just download the source tarball from the [[http://sarovar.org/projects/metapost project page]] From the directory where you downloaded the archive file, execute the following series of commands:<code> # tar xjf metapost-0.901.tar.bz2 # cd metapost-0.901 # ./Build # mkdir -p /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-local/metapost/base # cp texmf/metapost/base/* /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-local/metapost/base # cd build/texk/web2c # cp -f mpost dvitomp mpware/dmp mpware/mpto mpware/newer mpware/makempx \ /usr/local/teTeX/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu # cp -f mp.pool /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/web2c # texhash # fmtutil-sys --byfmt mpost</code> == Install a Latin Modern font update == The [[Latin Modern]] fonts are still in development, so teTeX has a hard time catching up. To get a stable system, you have to manually download the [[http://www.ctan.org/info?id=lm Latin Modern distribution]] from ctan and install the package according to the[[http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=uselmfonts instructions in the FAQ]]. The ConTeXt-specific support files are included in [[Cont-tmf.zip]], so it is just a matter of installing the actual font files. == Install the latest ConTeXt == Fetch the current distro from Pragma ADE:[[http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/current/cont-tmf.zip cont-tmf.zip]] [[http://mirror.contextgarden.net/context/current/cont-tmf.zip mirror1]][[http://context.aanhet.net/context/current/cont-tmf.zip mirror2]] === Fix texmf.cnf ===Now first you have to fix texmf.cnf as supplied with teTeX:<code> # vi /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf </code>You have to add an engine path to the TEXFORMATS line, so that it reads:<code> TEXFORMATS = .;$TEXMF/web2c/{$engine,}</code>While at it, you probably want to set <code> shell_escape = t</code>if it isn't already. === Cleanup fmtutil === Optionally, you can remove ConTeXt support from teTeX's configuration, because ConTeXt does not use fmtutil. Using<code> # fmtutil-sys --edit</code>you can comment out the lines for metafun,cont-en, and mptopdf And you can use<code> # cd /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-var/web2c && rm -f cont-en.* metafun.* mptopdf.*</code>to remove the old (fmtutil-generated) formats. === Install the zip archive === Now you have to execute the following series of commands (I assume you downloaded the archive file to /tmp. If you used another location, you have to change the unzip command):<code> # cd /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-local/ # unzip -o /tmp/cont-tmf.zip # texexec --make --all</code> In teTeX 3.0, formats will end up in a local directory only accessible to the user that generated them, so you have to copy the newly generated formats in the global location to make them useful for other people than 'root'. The last lines of the <tt>texexec</tt>s output will look like this:<code> used engineformatpath : /root/.texmf-var/web2c/pdfetex/ TeX binary : pdfetex format(s) : en nl metafun mptopdf total run time : 35 seconds</code>The top line indirectly tells you where the directories are where <tt>texexec</tt> has stored the local formats that need copying. With the output above, the final two commands to run are:<code> # cp -a /root/.texmf-var/web2c/* /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-var/web2c # texhash</code>If the engineformatpath does not start with <tt>/root/.texmf-var/web2c/</tt>, you have to replace the first path with the right one. You do that by removing the <tt>pdfetex/</tt> suffix from the 'used engineformatpath'. == Finished! == That should do it! End result is hopefully like this:<code> TeXExec 5.4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005 texexec : TeXExec 5.4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005 texutil : TeXUtil 9.0.0 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1992-2004 tex : pdfeTeX, 3.141592-1.30.4-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.5) context : ver: 2005.11.30 cont-en : ver: 2005.11.30 fmt: 2005.11.30 mes: english</code> please note, that after the successful installation of these updates,the MD5 checksums obviously will not match the ones of the installed ones,therefore except special cases when deleting/updating these packages.
