Announcement text:

## pkgcheck 2026-05-23 (4.0.0)
As mentioned below some work was done in collaboration with Claude Sonnet (Anthropic)
### Added
- (suggested by Erik) new option --ignore tmpfiles, i.e. no warnings for detecting temporary files
See also below
- rewritten file type detection
- this was done together with Claude Sonnet (Anthropic)
- now checking certain file types for proper content (new message E0032)
```
E0032 -- Extension expects some file type but got another type
The error shows up when the file has a known extension (e.g., .pdf) and
the detected type doesn't match. The extension is what drove the
expectation.
Example:
extension .pdf expects PDF, got Text (LF)
```
- previously we had the ignore options like this
```
-I, --ignore-dupes Ignore dupes
--ignore-same-named Ignore same-named files
```
now we have
```
-I, --ignore <IGNORE>... Comma-separated list of things to ignore: dupes, same-named, tmpfiles dupes:
ignore duplicate files
same-named: ignore same-named files
tmpfiles: ignore temporary files
[possible values: dupes, same-named, tmpfiles]
```
- detection of executable files (which implies 775 permissions)
- we no longer check if a file is Lua bytecode, as Lua bytecode cannot directly be executed
- issue W0008 regarding Unix line endings now issued only for Windows command files (`.bat` and `.cmd`)
PowerShell files are now ignored, they may have CRLF or LF.
- search for generated files improved (now using nom parser)
- this was done together with Claude Sonnet (Anthropic)
- switch from Makefile to justfile
- crate updates
- correct a bug where an LF line ending was added in case
the last line of a text file didn't have any line ending
- allow 555/444 perm for directories resp. files

Added all provisions in Fedora 44 provided by tex-cjw, tex-preview and all

F44 reliably from installing anything related to texlive (and probably a lot too
much, but if anyone find something that should **not** be in this dummy, please

that should be no real problem.

v2.2.0: Core Stabilization and Modernization
These updates significantly harden the package's internal engine against edge-case bugs and conflicts, with no changes to the user-facing API. Key stability improvements include:
Prevented Register Collisions: Migrated from shared TeX scratch registers to isolated expl3 namespace variables to prevent conflicts with other packages.
Eliminated Synchronization Risks: Deduplicated redundant rendering logic for boxes and rules to prevent inconsistent states.
Optimized I/O & Robustness: Streamlined .aux file writes and fully transitioned legacy TeX primitives to the modern, stable expl3 framework.

Scott Pakin submitted an update to the
bundledoc
package.
Version number: 3.6 2026-05-16
License type: lppl1.3c
Summary description: Bundle together all the files needed to build a LaTeX document
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
bundledoc is a post-processor for the snapshot package that bundles together all
the classes, packages, and files needed to build a given LaTeX document. It
reads the .dep file that snapshot produces, finds each of the files mentioned
therein, and archives them into a single .tar.gz (or .zip, or whatever) file,
suitable for moving across systems, transmitting to a colleague, etc.
As an added bonus, this distribution includes a small script called arlatex.
arlatex is a LaTeX-specific archiving program that combines a bunch of files
into a single .tex file. When the .tex file is run through latex, all of the
original files are recreated and the LaTeX document is built. bundledoc can be
easily configured to use arlatex as its archiver in place of tar, zip, etc.
Version 3.6 of bundledoc speeds up execution by reducing the number of calls to
kpsewhich in certain cases. It also outputs a list of all nonlocal files
omitted by --localonly when --verbose is specified twice.

operator[=], and benefit from native hashing of ints, strings, reals,
