Install teTeX 3.0

Lucky Debian users can install official but experimental packages. You have to enable them by adding the following line in your /etc/apt/sources.list file (as root) :

 # echo "deb ftp://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/ ../project/experimental   main contrib non-free" \
 # >>/etc/apt/sources.list

where "ftp.fr.debian.org" stands for your favorite mirror. Then, as root, you just have to ask the corresponding pakages to apt-get :

 # apt-get install  -t experimental tetex-bin tetex-extra


Install a pdfetex update

Install a MetaPost update


TODO: No information available. (See: To-Do List)


Install a Latin Modern font update

Under Debian, root as just to ask :

 # apt-get install lmodern pts-tetex-cm-super

The configuration/update is handled by apt-get

Install the latest ConTeXt

Fetch the current distro from Pragma ADE: [cont-tmf.zip]

As a user, I would advise to install context in ~/texmf (~ refers to the current user home directory)


TODO: How does one do this? (See: To-Do List)



Finished!

That should do it! End result is hopefully like this:

TeXExec 5.4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005

              texutil : TeXUtil 9.0.0 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1992-2004
