    Scott Pakin submitted an update to the

    bundledoc

    package.

    Version number: 3.6 2026-05-16
    License type: 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 3.6 of bundledoc speeds up execution by reducing the number of calls to
    kpsewhich in certain cases. It also outputs a list of all nonlocal files omitted by --localonly when --verbose is specified twice.
