tug.ctan.org downtime
by Jim Hefferon 17 Apr '03

17 Apr '03

The tug.ctan.org machine will go down this Thursday, Apr 17, at perhaps 3:00 pm local (US Eastern) and remain down for some time. This machine runs the http://www.ctan.org web interface, and is also known as ctan.tug.org. The reason for the downtime is that our entire campus will lose power for at least two days and the Easter weekend was judged a good time to do this. I may be able to get in on Sat morning and bring the machine back up but I need to leave town that day and if power is not back by then, the machine may not reappear until Tuesday morning. I apologize for the inconvienence. The other two ctan nodes will be up at ftp.tex.ac.uk and ftp.dante.de. Jim Hefferon ftpmaint(a)tug.ctan.org

CTAN submission -- babelbib package
by Reinhard Zierke 16 Apr '03

16 Apr '03

----- Forwarded message from Harald Harders ----- I have uploaded babelbib.tar.gz to ftp.dante.de. It contains a new package which could be a replacement to germbib. Thus, I am not sure where it should go on CTAN. Either CTAN:biblio/bibtex/contrib/babelbib or CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/babelbib License ist LPPL. >From the README: Multilingual bibliographies: The babelbib package This package enables to generate multilingual bibliographies in cooperation with babel. Thus, each citation may be written in another language. In addition, it supports commands to change the typography of the bibliographies. ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload. I installed it on CTAN in biblio/bibtex/contrib/babelbib/ (By the way, there is a small problem in the Makefile: The rm commands in the clean and distclean rules use C Shell style file name globbing but make normally uses the Bourne Shell.)

A new package has been installed on tug.ctan.org and has by now made its way to your favorite mirror. Thanks for the upload, Jim Hefferon ftpmaint(a)tug.ctan.org ================================================================= The following information was provided by our fellow contributor. Name of contribution: cm-lgc Author's name: Alexej Kryukov Location on CTAN: fonts/ps-type1/cm-lgc Summary description: Set of Latin, Greek and Cyrillic fonts converted from the METAFONT sources License type: gpl Announcement text given by the contribution's author: - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The CM-LGC package contains Type 1 fonts converted from METAFONT sources of the Computer Modern font families.
