CTAN update: ifplatform
by CTAN Announcements 24 Jan '11

24 Jan '11

This should be at your local mirror. Jim Hef{}feron Saint Michael's College ....................................................................... Update summary: This minor update to ifplatform corrects its behaviour under LuaTeX, in which it no longer relies on -shell-escape to detect the platform. Basic package information, as sent by the contributor. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Location: /macros/latex/contrib/ifplatform Authors: Will Robertson; Johannes Große License: lppl Caption: Conditionals to test which platform is being used. Description: This package uses the (La)TeX extension '-shell-escape' to establish whether the document is being processed on a Windows or on a Unix-like system (Mac OS X, Linux, etc.), or on Cygwin (Unix environment over a windows system). Booleans provided are: *'ifwindows', *'iflinux', *'ifmacosx' and *'ifcygwin'. The package also preserves the output of 'uname' on a Unix-like system, which may be used to distinguish between various classes of Unix systems. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/pkg/ifplatform (this may take a day to sync).
