• CTAN update: latex-git-log

    From CTAN Announcements@21:1/5 to All on Sat Jun 1 22:31:13 2024
    Robin Schneider submitted an update to the

    latex-git-log

    package.

    Version number: 1.1.0
    License type: gpl3+

    Summary description: Typeset git log information

    Announcement text: ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    ### Feature

    - Allow to pass file path. This is explained in the git-log(1) manpage as follows: Show
    only commits that are enough to explain how the files that match the specified paths
    came to be.
    - Make generated file https://reuse.software/ compliant. If you use REUSE, it will not
    complain about the generated file.

    ### Fix

    - --user and --repo flags where not included in URL
    - print commit hash instead of artificial version.
    Previously, the script generated artificial version numbers by counting each commit
    starting by 1. This is very unusual when using git. The --startcommit flag is remove as
    well.

    ### Cosmetic

    - Automate release process with https://bazel.build/
    This achieves (partial) reproducible builds of the zip file I upload to CTAN. I was
    able to generate the bit-by-bit same ZIP file on
    two different computers both running Debian 12. This includes generation of the
    example.pdf file with lualatex. Next step is to make use of https://nix-bazel.build/ to
    achieve full hermetic and reproducible builds independent of the host OS. See
    https://reproducible-builds.org/ for more details.
