CTAN Update: adhocfilelist
by CTAN Announcements 20 Oct '12

20 Oct '12

Uwe Lück submitted an update to the adhocfilelist package. Summary description: listfiles entries from command line License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- FIRST UPLOAD was v0.6 as of 2012-10-14. UPLOAD of v0.7 as of 2012-10-17 (2012-10-18): * New option -c adds test of date consistency with the `filedate' package and may thus be a way to check date consistency with XeLaTeX (where pdffilemoddate is not available ... may be silly ...). * Indeed new option -x uses `xelatex' rather than `latex' (see manual `adhocfilelist.htm' for discussion of possible silliness -- somewhat missing in `filedate' discussion). * Some documentation mistakes have been corrected. * srcfiles.tex checks date consistency for scripts and documentation and lists what is used indeed (but cf. makehtml.log from recent makehtml.tex). * `adhocfilelist.RLS' provides a release summary with `typeoutfileinfo', appearing in SrcFILEs.txt too. v0.8 should allow -c with an explicit list of filenames ... UPLOAD r0.3 (2012-10-19): * added present RELEASE.txt (started for v0.7) * corrected adhocfilelist.tds.zip * added `filedate' checks in makehtml.tex, additionally to those in srcfiles.tex * listfiles in makehtml.tex (HTML driver) more careful, using `nicefilelist', for comparison with SrcFILEs.txt ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/support/adhocfilelist .

New on CTAN: filedate
by CTAN Announcements 20 Oct '12

20 Oct '12

Uwe Lück submitted the filedate package to CTAN. Summary description: Access and compare info and modification dates License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- `filedate.sty' provides basic access to the date of a LaTeX source file according to its ProvidesFile, ProvidesPackage, or ProvidesClass entry -- the info date --, as well as to its modification date according to pdffilemoddate if the latter is available. Moreover commands are provided to compare the info date with the modification date, with today's date, or with another date that a script accessing modifica- tion dates such as adhocfilelist.sh may insert, and to choose the effect of comparisons (error vs. notice, reference date characterization). Thus updating the info date (date con- sistency) of a source file may be ensured by a test during typesetting from it or by some (shell/TeX) script. In fact the test today admonished me to update the documentation source and driver `filedate.tex'. Another motivating example of date inconsistency was `nicefilelist' v0.6 as of 2012-10-11 (see version history) with info date 2012/10/03. REQUIRED PACKAGES: `readprov' for two commands ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/filedate .

17 Oct '12

Uwe Lück submitted the adhocfilelist package to CTAN. Summary description: listfiles entries from command line License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- `adhocfilelist.sh' is a shell script to display a list of LaTeX Provides... contents on screen. Parameters can be either a list of comma-separated file names or criteria for the Unix `find' utility, especially to restrict the list to LaTeX source files modified <digits> days ago, such as today. Command line options provide interfaces to the find utility and to packages `myfilist', `longnamefilelist', and `nicefilist' for accessing and aligning those file informations. DOCUMENTATION: The manual `adhocfilelist.htm' can be read by a web browser, and the command line option `-h' provides an abridged version of it. REQUIRED: This works on Unix-like systems only, and probably the GNU version of `find' is required. The LaTeX bundle `fileinfo' must be installed, and full functionality requires the LaTeX packages `longnamefilelist' and `nicefilelist'. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/support/adhocfilelist .
