Subject: [ANNOUNCE] vc bundle v0.41 -- version control for TeX and friends
Date: Tue, 15 Apr 2008 19:52:39 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <fu2q46$bm3$1@ger.gmane.org> (raw)

The vc bundle
-----------------------------------
This is a script based approach to version control for TeX
documents.  It works more reliably than keyword substitution
based approaches, since it tracks all files in a working
copy, not only .tex files.

The vc bundle works with LaTeX and plain TeX.  Currently,
Bazaar, Git and Subversion are supported.


What's special about the vc bundle?
-----------------------------------
* Common version control packages for LaTeX use keyword
  substitution to access revision information.  That
  approach doesn't work reliably in the presence of
  non-.tex files, e.g., graphics or graphic sources that
  are processed by an external tool.
* The author is unaware of any alternative version control
  packages for plain TeX.
* The author is unaware of any alternative (La)TeX version
  control packages that support Bazaar or Git.


Getting the software
-----------------------------------
The latest version of the vc bundle can be found at CTAN:support/vc.

Happy TeXing!
