thanks for the uploads; i've installed the new version, and updated the
catalogue repository (making a first cut catalogue entry for xgalley).

The catalogue entry will change (somewhat) overnight tonight, and at the
same time, the entry for xgalley will appear for the first time).

On Sun, 2 Oct 2011 submitted an update to the
texliveonfly
package.
Summary description: providing MikTeX-like package downloading on the fly for TeX Live
License type: gpl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
texliveonfly.py should now work both on python 2.6+ and 3, and on OS X and
Linux. Default compiler is now pdflatex, to cater to the mainstream user.
In addition, many new features added:
-User can now set --texlive_bin=LOCATION
-Graphical privilege escalation is now default, and the script will no longer
escalate unless necessary (i.e. local texlive installs are now viable)
-Now displays output from the compiler, allows the user to interact directly
with it (e.g. when -interaction=nonstopmode is unset), and inherits the exit
code.
-Now capable of speech-synthesized notifications; turn on using:
--speech_when=always/installing/failed/some combination.
Finally, default options have been placed near the top of the script; feel free
to modify them as you wish!

On Mon, 3 Oct 2011 Oliver Corff submitted an update to the
invoice
package.
Summary description: A Package for writing invoices.
License type: gpl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The invoice package is used for generating invoices. Supports Afrikaans, Dutch,
English, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Spanish and Swedish.
Includes invisible expense items and deductions.
While invoice is primarily targeted at charging combinations
of fees and expenses in a variety of currencies (as might be
the case with a consultant), there is also the package facture which
is more geared towards sales invoices. Unlike facture which relies
on xelatex, invoice is not bound to a specific platform.
The package depends on fp and calc.
The author is Oliver Corff.
