Given a list of filenames, ctanify creates a tarball (a +.tar.gz file) with the files laid out in CTAN's preferred structure. +The tarball additionally contains a ZIP (.zip) file with copies of all +files laid out in the standard TeX Directory Structure (TDS), which +facilitates inclusion of the package in the TeX Live distribution of +TeX. + +ctanify has been tested primarily on Linux but with reports from users +that it also works on OS X and can work on Windows under Cygwin. +Volunteers willing to help port ctanify to other platforms are +especially welcome. + + +File manifest +============= + +README This file +ctanify The ctanify Perl script itself +ctanify.1 ctanify documentation (Unix man-page format) +ctanify.pdf ctanify documentation (PDF format) + + +Copyright and License +===================== + +Copyright (C) 2017 Scott Pakin + +This work may be distributed and/or modified under the conditions of +the LaTeX Project Public License, either version 1.3c of this license +or (at your option) any later version.
