Help on CTAN
How can I see what has been uploaded to CTAN?
The upload is processed by the upload managers. As soon as this process is completed the data is updated in the catalogue and visible in the portal within one hour.
After the new contribution is made available on the central server it is announced on the mailing list ctan-announce – unless the uploader has not provided an announcement text. This usually happens a day after the installation on the central server in order to allow the mirrors to pick the change.
After the new contribution has been uploaded and before the processing by the upload managers the received packages are listed on the page Unprocessed Uploads.
During the processing the uploaded contribution is not visible publicly.
