Andrew Mathas submitted the bibupdate package. Version: 2.1.0 License: gpl3+ Summary description: Automatically update the entries in a BibTeX file Announcement text:
This is a command line tool for updating the entries in a BibTeX file using the free tools provided by the American Mathematical Society: mrlookup, MathSciNet and MRef. By default bibupdate uses mrlookup to update `article`, `book`, `inproceedings` and `incollection` entries when they do not have an `mrnumber` field. Entries are not updated if they already have an `mrnumber` field, even an empty one, unless `--all` or `--check` is used. With the `-X` option, bibupdate looks for each paper in the arXiv and adds `eprint` and `archiveprefix` fields for all ghe papers that it finds. By default, bibupdate writes the updated entries to a new file, with the filename given by adding a "updated_" prefix. USing the update the bib file in place, use the `--overwrite` option. This should be used with care because you can potentially lose data.
