Thanks, I didn't know about that and it indeed seems very useful! I wonder how it is able to get around the big biblatex issue, that is avoid this message: Package biblatex Warning: File '.bbl' is wrong format version From what I understood, I thought that if you use biblatex you have to use the same biblatex version that arXiv uses (e.g., currently whatever version is in TeX Live 2023 now). But now I'm wondering if I misunderstood something. > It would be very convenient even just to have a pipeline that calls out to > arxiv-collector to generate the tarball. Agreed. I would love to not invent the wheel, and just save a few manual steps. Scott
