Package: fig2sty Version: 1:0.1-4 Severity: normal Tags: patch Thanks for the patches, Mark. I am forwarding your message to the Debian Bug Tracking System, such that it is recorded somewhere. I hope you do not mind. Please keep Cc: to <number>@bugs.debian.org.
It would be great if you can provide examples of *.fig files which are
not correctly parsed by the current version of XFig.pm.
Cheers,
Rafael

Dear Marcel, dear Rafael,
find attached some patches for the fig2sty package, that apply
cleanly to the upstream fig2sty.tar.gz and to the fig2sty_0.1-4 Debian
package (in the order specified by the `series' file).
Most patches fix errors of the xfig parser module XFig.pm, some of
them are slight extensions to it. Here are the short descriptions from
those patches (for the last one I do not know what it fixed any more,
that could be left away).
Do with the patches what you like :)
Regards, Mark
==> XFig_text_escape.diff <==
Decode text field contents on reading and encode on writing
(this concerns backslashes and non-ASCII characters).
Fixes a bug that swallowed backslashes on output.
==> XFig_empty_lines_after_header.diff <==
Allow empty lines after the header, as used by some of the files
in the standard XFig libraries.
==> XFig_fix_arrow_shape_bug.diff <==
Added missing arrow shape output for arcs;
corrected parsing of arrow shapes for all others.
==> XFig_standard_output_format.diff <==
Makes output from writefile() more similar to regular XFig output.
==> XFig_unsorted_stuff.diff <==
I forgot why I did the first chunk, but I'm almost sure there was a reason.
The third chunk is minor and wasn't connected to a bug, IIRC.
