arxify - arXiv Packaging Tool

arxify is a command line tool that packages latex projects into an arXiv-compatible archives. It removes comments from you *.tex files and removes any files that are not needed during the compile process. The latter is achieved by compiling the project once and observing which files are being accessed by the compiler using watchdog.

Installation

Install arxify via

pip install arxify

Usage

Call with your latex main file and a target filename for the resulting zip archive:

arxify /path/to/root/main.tex /path/to/output.zip

By default arxify will assume that the root directory of your project is the parent directory of your main *.tex file. Should that not be the case, specify the root directory with the -r option:

arxify /path/to/root/subdir/main.tex /path/to/output.zip -r /path/to/root/

By default arxify will attempt to compile your project using pdflatex and bibtex. Currently supported are also lualatex and biber, which can be selected via

arxify /path/to/root/main.tex /path/to/output.zip -c lualatex -b biber

If you wish to include files into the archive that are not used by the compiler, specify them with the -i option:

arxify /path/to/root/main.tex /path/to/output.zip -i /path/to/root/a_file.txt /path/to/root/another_file.txt
