License type: gpl
Announcement text:

This script performs on the fly downloads of missing packages on compilation,
a feature that many missed from MiKTeX. To use it, replace your
lualatex/pdflatex/etc command with a call to this script, e.g.
texliveonfly.py file.tex
[Current default options are --engine=lualatex and --arguments=-synctex=1
-interaction=nonstopmode; these can be changed.]
The script was written on Ubuntu and should (hopefully) be compatible with linux
distributions. Because it is strongly dependent on tlmgr, it can only be used
with TeX Live 2010 or later.

ifoddpage
package.
Summary description: page-is-odd-or-even conditionals
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This LaTeX package provides a ifoddpage conditional to determine if the current page is odd or even.
The macro checkoddpage must be used direct before to check the page number using a label.
Two compiler runs are therefore required to achieve correct results.
In addition the conditional ifoddpageoronside is provided which is also true in oneside mode where
all pages use the odd page layout.
This package got inspired from the 'changepage' package which provides (and uses) the same macros (checkoddpage and
ifoddpage) for its main function of changing the page design mid-way in the document. Both packages can be used
together, but the 'ifoddpage' should be loaded last in this case, otherwise the ifoddpageoroneside conditional will
stop working.
