On Saturday, 6 August 2011, H.-Martin Münch submitted the new package
pagecolor
to CTAN.
It should soon be at your favorite mirror.
Summary description: Provides hepagecolor
License type: LPPL
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
provides the command hepagecolor, which gives the current page
(background) colour, i. e. the argument used with the most recent call
of pagecolor{...}.
The command hepagecolornone gives the same colour as hepagecolor,
except when the page background colour is none (e. g. result of
using the
opagecolor command). In that case hepagecolor is white
and hepagecolornone is none.

Hello,
In the next few hours, our hosting provider does maintenance work on
infrastructure. During that time, power will be turned off.
For that reason, I will shut down comedy.dante.de, a.k.a.
dante.ctan.org, the German CTAN server in short time. Controlled shut
down is much better than simply plugging the cord... ;-)
The server will be back up in roughly 9 hours, at 07:00 UTC. (That's
9am Central European Summer Time, in case you're wondering. :-)
During that time, CTAN mailing lists will not be reachable, mirrors
can't rsync, no downloads or uploads can happen.
I hope that this doesn't cause any inconvenience.
For the CTAN team,
Joachim
