Package: texlive-font-utils Version: 2009-7 Severity: normal Hello,
The --nogs option of epstopdf does not work as advertized; according to the manual page, it should behave essentially as the --filter option, but only producing the intermediate PS file and not feeding it to ghostscript. But see: ~ epstopdf --nogs < bidule.ps > /dev/null [...] !!! Error: Input filename missing Whereas: ~ epstopdf --filter < bidule.ps > /dev/null does not complain. If I run it like ~ epstopdf --nogs bidule.ps then the output file is '-' -- but not standard output. The problem is that the opening for output file is: open($OUT, '>', $OutputFilename) or error "Cannot write \"$OutputFilename\""; (with $OutputFilename = "-" for --nogs), but perldoc -f open says: In the 2-arguments (and 1-argument) form opening '-' opens STDIN and opening '>-' opens STDOUT. In short, opening '-' to get stdout does work as open HANDLE, "> -"; but not as open HANDLE, ">", "-"; Cheers, Vincent -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages texlive-font-utils depends on: ii dpkg 1.15.5.6 Debian package management system ii tex-common 2.06 common infrastructure for building ii texlive-base 2009-7 TeX Live: Essential programs and f ii texlive-binaries 2009-5 Binaries for TeX Live ii texlive-common 2009-7 TeX Live: Base component texlive-font-utils recommends no packages.
