Current: texlive change with 22nd March update


t/texlive-2023.230322-i586-1.txz update on 22nd March 2023 appears to have removed the ConTeXt script (possibly among other features as the package is a few megabytes smaller).

ConTeXt is present in 15.0 texlive.

Not a complaint just a note to anyone who might need to know. I realise that a chunk of texlive is included mainly to support texinfo and other text processing applications, and I'll probably just install a full texlive from tug.org when release comes around...

According to Johannes:

Quote:
ConTexT is not provided as source anymore by TL Upstream, so i moved
all ConTexT-stuff to the extra-tarball for SBo. More here
https://www.tug.org/texlive/bugs.html and
https://tug.org/pipermail/tex-live/2...ch/048936.html
I can't remember any request for ConTeXt(Robby mentioned many years ago
that he had some requests before), can't tell if it's widely used or
not.
