Uwe Lück submitted an update to the
adhocfilelist
package.
Summary description: listfiles entries from command line
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
FIRST UPLOAD was v0.6 as of 2012-10-14.
UPLOAD of v0.7 as of 2012-10-17 (2012-10-18):
* New option -c adds test of date consistency with the
`filedate' package and may thus be a way to check
date consistency with XeLaTeX (where pdffilemoddate
is not available ... may be silly ...).
* Indeed new option -x uses `xelatex' rather than `latex'
(see manual `adhocfilelist.htm' for discussion of
possible silliness -- somewhat missing in `filedate'
discussion).
* Some documentation mistakes have been corrected.
* srcfiles.tex checks date consistency for scripts and
documentation and lists what is used indeed
(but cf. makehtml.log from recent makehtml.tex).
* `adhocfilelist.RLS' provides a release summary with
`typeoutfileinfo', appearing in SrcFILEs.txt too.
v0.8 should allow -c with an explicit list of filenames ...
UPLOAD r0.3 (2012-10-19):
* added present RELEASE.txt (started for v0.7)
* corrected adhocfilelist.tds.zip
* added `filedate' checks in makehtml.tex, additionally
to those in srcfiles.tex
* listfiles in makehtml.tex (HTML driver) more careful,
using `nicefilelist', for comparison with SrcFILEs.txt
