This package provides store boxes which have the same user interface like
normal LaTeX save boxes, but only store the content once in the output file

If the stored content is not used in the document after all it is not written to
the PDF (at least the pdftex manual says so).
For any other TeX and output format the package simply falls back to use the
normal savebox equivalents.

[Current default options are --engine=lualatex and --arguments=-synctex=1

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.

dejavu
package.
Summary description: LaTeX support for the fonts DejaVu
License type: other-free
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This package contains LaTeX support for the fonts DejaVu.
Changes:
- Added extra kerning pairs between the Greek accents and the
capital Greek letters for the serif and sans serif
families (the monospaced family left unchanged). The
kerning values are generated from the fonts (sfd files)
and the combination accent + letter should give the
same relative position of accent and letter as in the
precomposed accented capital Greek letters. Most kerning
values are big negative, but there are also several
small positive values.
- Small changes in the LGR encoding: uni1FBD replaced by uni1FBF
and grave replaced by uni1FEF. They have exactly the same
glyph, but are more consistent with the Greek alphabet.
These should be user invisible changes.
