This is awesome! I can totally see myself using this. We also need better make files for Latex. Changing one line, hitting make, and then watching crap fly acro

  It's using http://code.google.com/p/latex-makefile/ http://code.google.com/p/latex-makefile/ which is a really awesome makefile. It has nice colored output and throws away all the garbage output.

    At least you can build your own scripts around this stuff. Building LaTeX for me goes like this: I use vim, change a line, and hit ":w". My git-onNotify [0] script detects a change and issues "make show". The Makefile uses rubber or latexmk to build a pdf, then issues "gnome-open $PDF", which opens the new version in my pdf viewer. If my screen is tiled, the preview on the side just updates. Essentially, I just save my tex file and wait for the change.
