bundledoc: bundle together all files needed to compile your LaTeX document

The bundledoc package is a post-processor for the snapshot package that bundles together all the classes, packages and files needed to build a given LaTeX document. It reads the .dep file that snapshot produces, finds each of the files mentioned therein, and archives them into a single .tar.gz (or .zip, or whatever) file, suitable for moving across systems, transmitting to a colleague, etc.

Usage:

• put \RequirePackage{snapshot} before \documentclass in your .tex file and run latex or pdflatex on it.

• run bundledoc on generated .dep file.

Configuration file:

Below is the content of my configuration file ~/.bundledoc.cfg:

bundle: (tar -czvf $BDBASE.tar.gz $BDINPUTS)
sink:   > /dev/null 2>&1
find:   kpsewhich -progname=latex $BDINPUTS
