Given the source files for a document, latexmk issues the appropriate
sequence of commands to generate a .dvi, .ps, .pdf or hardcopy version of
the document.
An important feature is its "preview continuous mode", where it watches
all of the source files (primary file and included TeX and graphics files),
and reruns LaTeX etc whenever a source file has changed. Thus a previewer
can have an updated display whenever the source files change.
The current version (3.04) has many improvements over previous versions.
Apart from bug fixes:
1. The method for determining how many times to rerun latex is now correct
in all normal situations.
2. The determination of the dependencies is greatly improved.
3. Pdf files can be made.
4. Improvements to correspond to current versions of LaTeX and associated
software have been made.
5. License is GPL (with agreement of previous authors).
Previous version (v. 2) is in a subdirectory.

latexmk – Fully automated LaTeX document generation
Latexmk completely automates the process of generating a LaTeX document. Given the source files for a document, latexmk issues the appropriate sequence of commands to generate a .dvi, .ps, .pdf or hardcopy version of the document.
An important feature is the “preview continuous mode”, where the script watches all of the source files (primary file and included TeX and graphics files), and reruns LaTeX, etc., whenever a source file has changed. Thus a previewer can offer a display of the document’s latest state.
