- A latex distribution supporting pdflatex with many common packages installed (for example texlive with texlive-latex-extra on debian based systems like Ubuntu). In addition, the following packages/scripts are required and can be found in the
dependenciesdirectory: - gitinfo
- latexdiff (with latexdiff-so and latexdiff-vc)
Open a terminal in the repository root and type make rulebook. This will generate pdf/iuf-rulebook-$BRANCHNAME.pdf.
To include git revision information in the document, you need to install git hooks to extract the information from git. Do this with ./install_hooks. Build the document again and the information should appear.
To produce a PDF highlighting the changes, type make diff.
This will generate pdf/iuf-rulebook-$OLDBRANCH-diff-$BRANCH.pdf.
The current branch will be combpared with the branch(es) in the diff-branches file.
If the build is failing because the gitinfo2 package cannot be found, copy the gitinfo2.sty from dependencies into the src directory.
