    Scott Pakin submitted an update to the

    bundledoc

    bundle.

    Version: 3.5 2025-02-26
    License: lppl1.3c

    Summary description: Bundle together all the files needed to build a LaTeX document

    Announcement text: ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    bundledoc is a post-processor for the snapshot package that bundles
    together all the classes, packages, and files needed to build a given
    LaTeX document. It reads the .dep file that snapshot produces, finds
    each of the files mentioned therein, and archives them into a single
    .tar.gz (or .zip, or whatever) file, suitable for moving across systems,
    transmitting to a colleague, etc.

    As an added bonus, this distribution includes a small script called
    arlatex. arlatex is a LaTeX-specific archiving program that combines
    a bunch of files into a single .tex file.
    When the .tex file is run through latex, all of the original files
    are recreated and the LaTeX document is built.
    bundledoc can be easily configured to use arlatex as its archiver
    in place of tar, zip, etc.

    Version 3.5 of bundledoc is more robust to filenames containing
    characters that are special to the shell.
