Summary description: Additional TeX-family logos
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The package hologo enables you to output many useful logos of popular
(and not so popular) TeX-family software. However its interface is a
bit cumbersome because you must type hologo{BibTeX} instead of
BibTeX. This package enables you to import some of logos provided by
hologo as simgle commands, such as BibTeX.
Moreover this package provides yet additional logos of TeX-family
software most of which is popular mainly in Japan. These logos can be
imported in the same way as those provided by hologo.

Summary description: Upload or validate a package for CTAN
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This program can be used to automate the upload of a package to CTAN.
The description of the package is contained in a configuration file.
The provided information is validated in any case. If the validation
succeeds and not only the validation is requested, then the provided
archive file is placed in the incoming area of the CTAN for further
processing by the CTAN team.
In any case any finding during the validation is reported at the end
of the processing. Note that the validation is the default and an
official submission has to be requested by an appropriate command
line option.
ctan-o-mat requires an Internet connection to the CTAN server. Even
the validation retrieves the known attributes and the basic constraints
from the server.
