Description : tool for managing LaTeX projects
LaTeX-Mk is a collection of Makefile fragments and shell scripts for
managing small to large sized LaTeX projects. The typical LaTeX-Mk
input file is simply a series of variable definitions in a Makefile
for the project. After creating a simple Makefile the user can easily
perform all required steps to do such tasks as: preview the document,
print the document, or produce a PDF file. LaTeX-Mk will keep track
of files that have changed and how to run the various programs that
are needed to produce the output.
A preliminary version of the package is available at the following
apt-getable repository:
http://people.debian.org/~rafael/latex-mk/
I am aware of an ITP for a similar package: latexmk
(http://bugs.debian.org/344562). I will try to coordiante with its
maintainer to get the packages referencing each other in their descriptions.
This are the upstream license terms (for a discussion in debian-legal about
it, see http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2006/01/msg00601.html):
