CTAN is happy to announce Scott Pakin's ctanify package, designed to prepare packages for CTAN. Thanks, Jim Hefferon CTAN and Saint Michael's College ................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: ctanify Author's name: Scott Pakin Location on CTAN: /support/ctanify Summary description: Prepare a LaTeX package for upload to CTAN License type: lppl 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. So far, ctanify has been tested only on Linux. Volunteers willing to help port ctanify to other platforms are especially welcome. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/support/ctanify .
