New on CTAN: filedate
by CTAN Announcements 20 Oct '12

20 Oct '12

Uwe Lück submitted the filedate package to CTAN. Summary description: Access and compare info and modification dates License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- `filedate.sty' provides basic access to the date of a LaTeX source file according to its ProvidesFile, ProvidesPackage, or ProvidesClass entry -- the info date --, as well as to its modification date according to pdffilemoddate if the latter is available. Moreover commands are provided to compare the info date with the modification date, with today's date, or with another date that a script accessing modifica- tion dates such as adhocfilelist.sh may insert, and to choose the effect of comparisons (error vs. notice, reference date characterization). Thus updating the info date (date con- sistency) of a source file may be ensured by a test during typesetting from it or by some (shell/TeX) script. In fact the test today admonished me to update the documentation source and driver `filedate.tex'. Another motivating example of date inconsistency was `nicefilelist' v0.6 as of 2012-10-11 (see version history) with info date 2012/10/03. REQUIRED PACKAGES: `readprov' for two commands ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/filedate . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/filedate (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .
