detex for CentOS

So another little porting effort. This time it is detex

DeTeX is a filter program that removes the LaTeX (or TeX) control sequences from the input so that the real content can be passed to a spell or diction checker.

I am using this for my dissertation to count the words used
detex dissertation.tex | wc
Quite a useful little tool. When I get time I might rewrite it in perl to make it more portable.

lacheck port

And another port. This time a very useful little tool if you create latex documents.
Lacheck

LaCheck is a general purpose consistency checker for LaTeX documents.
It reads a LaTeX document and displays warning messages, if it finds
bad sequences. It should be noted, that the badness is very subjective.
LaCheck is designed to help find common mistakes in LaTeX documents,
especially those made by beginners.

Source RPM can be found at www.ribalba.de/geek/port/lacheck-1.26-1.src.rpm

Update: This RPM has been added to rpmforge

xpdf in CentOs

I wanted Xpdf on my Centos machine, but I could not find a binary that had the newest patch level. So I used http://mbrisby.blogspot.com/2007/06/xpdf.html and extended it. I respect poppler and just add the program xpdf. Further I patch some known bugs.
Download the source rpm here : xpdf-3.02-5.src.rpm

Thank you Carl for the nice spec file. Here is my extended one.

%description
Xpdf is an open source viewer for Portable Document Format (PDF)
files.  (These are also sometimes also called 'Acrobat' files, from
the name of Adobe's PDF software.)  The Xpdf project also includes a
PDF text extractor, PDF-to-PostScript converter, and various other
utilities.

Xpdf runs under the X Window System on UNIX, VMS, and OS/2.  The non-X
components (pdftops, pdftotext, etc.) also run on Win32 systems and
should run on pretty much any system with a decent C++ compiler.

Xpdf is designed to be small and efficient.  It can use Type 1 or
TrueType fonts.
