Scott Pakin submitted an update to the
ctanify
package.
Version: 1.8.1
License: lppl1.3
Summary description: Prepare a package for upload to CTAN
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.
Version 1.8.1 adds -y to the zip command to retain symbolic links
(suggested by Martin Sievers).

Summary description: Write LALR(1) parsers in TeX using bison and flex
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Various macro changes. A new manual has been added, detailing the
development of an average size parser (for linker script files),
indexing macros have been expanded to allow indexing of names
from several domains. A new parser insertion mechanism has been
written to make adding new parsers for use with CWEB more transparent.
As usual, a number of typos, etc. have been corrected (and new ones
probably introduced).

Summary description: A class for NIH biosketches based on the 2015
updated format
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This LaTeX document class tries to adhere to the Biographical Sketch
formatting requirements outlined in NIH Notice
[NOT-OD-15-032](http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-15-03….
This new format is required for applications submitted for due dates on
or after May 25, 2015.
I tried to mimic the example documents provided on the [SF 424 (R&R)
Forms and Applications
page](http://grants.nih.gov/grants/funding/424/index.htm#format) as
closely as possible. I have used this class for my own grant
submissions; however I offer no guarantee of conformity to NIH
requirements.
