DESCRIPTION="Create glossaries and lists of acronyms"
HOMEPAGE="https://www.ctan.org/pkg/glossaries/"
# CTAN publishes this only as an unversioned glossaries.zip, whose content
# changes under a fixed filename and so cannot back a reproducible Manifest,
# and gentoo's dev mirror carries 4.55 but not 5.1. Re-hosted on extra-stuff
# as a source-only bundle instead: glossaries.ins and glossaries.dtx generate
# the 57 style files we install (plus sample .tex files the eclass skips),
# makeglossaries is a shipped script rather than a generated one, and CHANGES
# is installed as documentation. The user and code manuals and the sample
# documents are omitted -- they are the bulk of the 16 MiB upstream archive
# against 193 KB here. verified 2026-07-28
