CTAN Update: svninfo
by CTAN Announcements 21 Apr '05

21 Apr '05

On Wed, 20 Apr 2005, Achim D. Brucker submitted version 0.2.1 of the package svninfo to CTAN. Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/svninfo/ License: LPPL Description: The svninfo package is used to extract the revision and file information provided by the subversion (svn) revision control system and provides commands for accessign them within LaTeX documents. Also support files for the latex2html converter is provided. Note, that this is an adaption of the rcsinfo package for rcs. So, if you know rcsinfo, you will also be familar with svninfo. This version removes the latex2html build-dependency and provides a new command svnId mimicking the behaviour of $Id:$ strings. Thanks for the update. For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf
