Announcement text:
## 2025-12-11 (3.3.1) ### Changed - permission checking for scripts regarding x-bits has changed In pkgcheck 3.3.0 a script having the x-bit set but doesn't have a shebang causes E0002 error message. Now, it will be accepted that a script with a shebang doesn't have the x-bit set. - permission checking for Windows command files If the file is a windows command file ie. a file with extension `.bat`, `.cmd`, `.ps1`, `.nsh` or `.reg` then we accept both 644 and 755 Previously, 755 for a windows command file caused an E0002 error. - crates update ### Fixed - wrong ownership permission unequal to 7 for directories wasn't recognized - pdf checking: suppress unwanted warning messages

pkgcheck – CTAN package checker
Packages uploaded to CTAN will be checked by the CTAN team before they get installed.
This package provides the pkgcheck command line utility used by CTAN members for carrying out those checks that can be performed in an automated way.
pkgcheck is a 64-bit static Linux binary, and runs out of the box. The only prerequisites is that pdfinfo is available.
A Windows version is not planned.
