Description Matija "hook" Šuklje 2010-11-01 11:06:06 UTC

I think it would be useful if after a user emerges dev-texlive/texlive-context, they would get a postinstall ewarning or einfo in the lines of:

"For using ConTeXt mkII simply use 'texexec' to generate your documents.
If you plan to use mkIV and its 'context' command to generate your documents, you have to run 'luatools --generate' as normal user before first use.

More information and advanced options on: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TeX_Live_2010"


Reason:
ConTeXt in TexLive is shipped with both stable mkII and the more powerful (yet still in development) mkIV. For this reason a stable and standard mkII is enabled by default in TexLive, but in practice most ConTeXt users use mkIV.
