Scott Pakin submitted an update to the ctanify package. Version number: 1.6 License type: lppl Summary description: Prepare a package for upload to CTAN. Announcement text:
ctanify is intended for developers of LaTeX packages who want to distribute their packages via the Comprehensive TeX Archive Network (CTAN). Given a list of filenames, ctanify creates a tarball (a .tar.gz file) with the files laid out in CTAN's preferred structure. The tarball additionally contains a ZIP (.zip) file with copies of all files laid out in the standard TeX Directory Structure (TDS), which facilitates inclusion of the package in the TeX Live distribution of TeX. Version 1.6 introduces a --tex option that facilitates packaging non-LaTeX packages (e.g., Plain TeX or ConTeXt).
This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/support/ctanify More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/ctanify We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org . Please join a users group; see http://www.tug.org/usergroups.html .
Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Manfred Lotz

ctanify – Prepare a package for upload to CTAN

Given a list of filenames, ctanify creates a tarball (a .tar.gz file) with the files laid out in CTAN’s preferred structure.

By default this tarball additionally contains a ZIP (.zip) file with copies of all files laid out in the standard Directory Structure (TDS), which may be used by those intending to install the package, or by those who need to incorporate it in a distribution. (The TDS ZIP file will be installed in the CTAN install/ tree.)

Given that CTAN and Live are not fond of .tds.zip files for small and/or otherwise straightforward packages, ctanify has now been provided with an option that prevents the creation and inclusion of such a .tds.zip file.
