Bug#196087: tetex-bin: LaTeX-call to run LaTeX as often as useful



Package: tetex-bin
Version: 2.0.2-4.1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream patch

It would be nice to have some script, which invokes LaTeX as often as
necessary in order to have all toc-entries/references/etc. right. In
MikTeX for windows there is a program called texify which does quite
that.

I have written a little script which simply scans for
"LaTeX Warning: Label(s) may have changed. Rerun to get cross-references
right."
and runs again, if the phrase is found in the logfile, but I don't know,
if this catches all possible cases of situations when to rerun LaTeX.

greetings,
 Johannes Zarl
