Upload to the Com­pre­hen­sive Archive Net­work

Hey, got a new pack­age or a new ver­sion of a pack­age for CTAN? Great! This page al­lows you to up­load it.

If you want to up­load a new ver­sion of a pack­age to CTAN you can start the up­load from the pack­age's page. Then sev­eral fields will be pre-filled. Even more is pre-filled if you are logged in.

Sub­mis­sion

Ready? Then fill in the fields be­low and up­load.

The re­quired fields are clearly marked like this sen­tence. The form com­plains if a re­quired field is miss­ing.

  1. Pro­vide a few bits of in­for­ma­tion that will help us to cat­e­go­rize it.

    Name of your contribution
    This value corresponds to the name of the package in the Catalogue. It must consist of ASCII characters only.
    Version number
    Specify a meaningful version number or release date in the form YYYY-MM-DD.
    Author
    This name will be published with the package.
    Your name
    Your name in case you are uploading a package on behalf of someone else.
    Your email
    This email address will not be published. It is meant for contacting you in case of questions.
    Summary description
    A short one line summary of what the package does. It is typically just a few words, or at most a sentence.
    Suggested CTAN directory
    Your suggested CTAN directory is a help (if you are not sure, just make a guess). You can browse here. If you start the upload from a package directory then the form is filled with the information already known.
    Type of Upload New package
    Update (with announcement)

    Announcement
    (features, changes,...)

    This text is published for a new package or if an announcement is requested for an existing package. Please write in English.

    About the announcements: we have a mailing list for people who are interested in hearing about changes in our holdings. New packages are always announced on this list. For a revision of an existing package, please note that we don't mail the list about revisions that are bug fixes, minor feature additions, etc. If you make a major upgrade and would like an announcement then tell us so, and include a description of the improvements.

    Administrative notes
    (to the CTAN maintainers)

    This text is for internal communication only. It will not be visible publicly. Please write in English.

  2. Indi­cate the li­cense.

    We need to know the license under which you are sharing your work. For more information about the different kinds, see the Catalogue License Definitions. If you don't know what to pick, you might note that the Project Public License was developed to suit this purpose.

    Several licenses can be given. This applies for instance if different parts of the package are distributed under different licenses or the package is dual licensed under more than one license.

    License type
    Please also indicate the license within the package itself, at least in the top-level README or README.md file.

  3. In­put your file's name on your com­puter.

    Your file will be up­loaded when you sub­mit this form in the fi­nal step.

    Note that some file names are blocked, like those not end­ing in .zip, .tgz, or .tar.gz. We ac­cept a sin­gle archive only. Please do not use any spe­cial or non-print­able char­ac­ters (like blank spaces) in file names.

  4. Thanks for pro­vid­ing the in­for­ma­tion – and thanks for your con­tri­bu­tion. You keep go­ing!
