Summary description: Fully automated LaTeX document generation
Announcement text:
Correct bug in v. 4.84 that if $out_dir and $out2_dir referred to the same directory, but latexmk didn't detect that, then the subroutine copy reported an error, and latexmk treated that incorrectly as a fatal error.
The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/latexmk The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/support/latexmk/
Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Petra Rübe-Pugliese

latexmk – Fully automated LaTeX document generation
Latexmk completely automates the process of generating a LaTeX document. Given the source files for a document, latexmk issues the appropriate sequence of commands to generate a .dvi, .ps, .pdf or hardcopy version of the document.
An important feature is the preview continuous
mode
, where the script watches all of the source files
(primary file and included TeX and graphics files), and reruns
LaTeX, etc., whenever a source file has changed. Thus a previewer
can offer a display of the document’s latest state.
