CTAn Update: ctanify

Scott Pakin submitted an update to the

  ctanify

package.

Summary description: Prepare a package for upload to CTAN
License type: lppl

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

ctanify is intended for developers of LaTeX packages who
want to distribute their packages via the Comprehensive TeX
Archive Network (CTAN).  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.

Version 1.3 additionally knows how to place scripts and Unix
man pages within a TDS hierarchy.
