Temporary stop of upload service at CTAN
by CTAN Announcements 11 May '12

11 May '12

Neither CTAN admin is able to work on uploads this week-end. We have decided to leave the upload pages (and ftp upload directories) open, but there is little chance that the backlog will be processed before Monday (14th May). Please bear with us: there are only two admins doing all the installation, documentation and announcement work. This was bound to happen some time, and this weekend external pressures have coincided as feared. And please be sensible about what you upload for us to install -- a large number of copies of the same package (oh, i forgot _that_, too or the like), for example, won't do you any good, and may anger other people who can't upload as a result.

It is tested with the current Linux versions of OpenSUSE and Ubuntu. The script does - looking for a fast server - downloading the install script - deleting an existing TeXLive version from Ubuntu (deb) or openSUSE (rpm) - extracting and running the install script - installing a complete up-to-date TeXLive from tug.org - installing the non free fonts from tug.org which are not part of TeXLive, like arial, Luxi mono, aso - installing the GUIs TeXmaker and TeXworks - creating files zzz-texlive.sh/csh for /etc/profile.d/ without specifing a directory, TeXLive will be installed in the home directory ~/texlive. For another one run the script with e.g. ./eitl.sh /usr/local/texlive for some actions the script needs to be root. In such cases it asks for the root password. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/support/texlive/eitl .

On Thu, 10 May 2012 Uwe Lück submitted the dowith package. Summary description: Apply a command to a list items – no separators, no iterator License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- `dowith.sty' provides macros for applying a command to all elements of a list without separators, such as `DoWithAllIn{<cmd>}{<list-macro>}', and also for extending and reducing macros storing such lists. Applications in mind belonged to LaTeX, but the package should work with other formats as well. Loop and list macros in other packages are discussed. There is an emphasis on expandability (no iterator), without relying on e-TeX. Privately, I have used macros for a more powerful package where the command may have more than one argument and there is a separator in output, such as a comma or a vertical stroke between links. This extended package may soon appear here as well. KEYWORDS: macro programming, loops, list macros RELATED PACKAGES: etextools, etoolbox, forarray, forloop, multido, moredefs, lmake, texapi, xfor, xspace ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/generic/dowith .
