CTAN update: bundledoc

with jim otherwise engaged, the ol' daemon's going to be working hard... > The following information was provided by the package's contributor. > > Name of contribution: bundledoc > Author's name: Scott Pakin > Location on CTAN: support/bundledoc/ > Summary description: Bundle together all the files needed to build a LaTeX document > License type: lppl > > Announcement text given by the package's contributor: > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > bundledoc is a post-processor for the snapshot package that bundles > together all the classes, packages, and files needed to build a given > LaTeX document. It reads the .dep file that snapshot produces, finds > each of the files mentioned therein, and archives them into a single > .tar.gz (or .zip, or whatever) file, suitable for moving across > systems, transmitting to a colleague, etc. > > As an added bonus, this distribution includes a small script called > arlatex. arlatex is a LaTeX-specific archiving program that combines > a bunch of files into a single .tex file. When the .tex file is run > through latex, all of the original files are recreated and the LaTeX > document is built. bundledoc can be easily configured to use arlatex > as its archiver in place of tar, zip, etc. > > Version 3.0 of bundledoc retains in the generated archive the > document's directory structure; provides support for including only > document files, not parts of LaTeX; lets the user control at a > fine-grained level exactly which files are included or excluded; and > improves the handling of filenames containing spaces. The tetex.cfg > configuration file has been replaced by a (virtually identical) > texlive-unix.cfg file. Thanks to Marius Kleiner and Fabien > Vignes-Tourneret for their contributions to this release. thanks for the upload; i have installed the new version, and updated the catalogue repository (somewhat more than usual for a package update). > Users may view the package catalogue entry at > http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/bundledoc.html > or they may browse the package directory at > http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/support/bundledoc/ the web copy of the catalogue entry will change a fair bit, overnight.
