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

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.
