You can download all of their releases (in source form, which as a
source-based distro, is what we are primarily interested in):

It should be suggest_depends IMHO, since one can install texlive for
latex and not want to use context, in which case ruby would likely not
be needed for the runtime. This would take more work though, as we'd
have to figure out exactly what scripting languages would be needed for
which runtimes, so if you just want to make them runtime_depends for now
and we can gradually fix them towards suggest_depends, I'm personally OK
with that.
