[tldistro] How are distros handling the ConTeXt change?

[Edd Barrett]

Hi,

In OpenBSD, initially I'll probably simply omit context and maybe make a separate package later.

(There's a good chance no one is using it on OpenBSD)

Now that the context command is a symlink to luametatex, and the latter is not built as part of TeX Live, I'm wondering what distro maintainers are going to do.  For those who haven't been following the discussion of this on the tex-live list, luametatex can be built from the sources at https://github.com/contextgarden/luametatex/.

The texlive package(s) could then be responsible for providing the required symlinks and other supporting files.  This is similar to what I do for biber.
