texlive-arara 2025.2

Automation of LaTeX compilation

Arara is comparable with other well-known compilation tools like latexmk and rubber. The key difference is that Arara determines its actions from metadata in the source code, rather than relying on indirect resources, such as log file analysis. Arara requires a Java virtual machine.
