Update summary: W.r.t. v0.2, `inputtrc' RELEASE v0.2b (2010/11/28) updates * LPPL version in README and inputtrc.sty * makedoc.cfg * inputtrc.pdf with * new makedoc.cfg formatting * using `readprov.sty' for referring to `inputtrc.sty' * mention of the `filehook' package and adds * README.pdf (+ README.tex) * FileList.txt + gather.tex UL 2010/11/28 Basic package information, as sent by the contributor. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Location: /macros/latex/contrib/inputtrc Caption: Trace which file loads which. Description: The package produces screen/log messages of the form ‘<current> INPUTTING <next>’ reporting LaTeX input commands (<current> and <next> being file names). The message is indented to reflect the level of input nesting. Tracing may be turned on and off, and the unit of indentation may be adjusted. The implementation somewhat resembles those of packages filehook, FiNK and inputfile.

CTAN new package: fileinfo
by CTAN Announcements 29 Nov '10

29 Nov '10

This should be at your local mirror. Thank you again, Jim Hef{}feron Saint Michael's College Basic package information, as sent by the contributor. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Location: /macros/latex/contrib/fileinfo Caption: get file infos without loading; listfiles -- mine only Description: 'readprov.sty' renders GetFileInfo from LaTeX's 'doc.sty' (without the latter being reqired), as well as new robust (expandable) variants of it, usable with files that are not really loaded (they are quit when their file info is found). So, e.g., you can describe packages that are incompatible with each other or with packages that your document uses. You even can report about various class files. Such files also enter listfiles. [related package: zwgetfdate] 'myfilist.sty' uses this so listfiles need not show files that were used, rather just files you want to know about. In a TeX script, you can choose some files and their order. Their names can be output into a plain text file with their dates, version ids, and one-line descriptions, formatted in the way listfiles does it after a LaTeX run. This way you can get an overview of, e.g., some package bundle ...
