Name: The vc bundle Version: v0.6 Authors: Roland Hieber <rohieb+ctan@rohieb.name>, Stephan Hennig <stephanhennig@arcor.de> Last modified: 2018-06-11 License: CC0 1.0 (Public Domain Dedication), see ./LICENSE, or <URL:http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/> Maintenance Status: actively maintained as of 2020-01-23 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, Mercurial 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 LaTeX 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. <URL:http://www.ctan.org/get/support/vc.zip> The source repository can be found on GitHub. <URL:https://github.com/rohieb/ctan-support-vc> Installation and Usage ----------------------------------- Please see the manual in vc-manual.pdf. Happy TeXing! Stephan Hennig
