The packages for 2009 are quasi a complete new implementation, some
things got lost, yes, that is life.

Correct.

Yes we will include a patch to what is currently in TL, and later
when we rebase the packages we can drop it again.

As TL 2009 contains a more recent version we believed it would contain the fix. Unfortunately the xetex.def was probably pulled from CTAN *after* the fix was removed and *before* it was re-introduced. I'm not sure, if we should re-introduce the patch. On the one hand we'd like to have a bug-free system on the other hand we don't have the man power to keep the texmf tree of a system up-to-date between the TL releases. We'll do it if it is really necessary (i.e. in case of urgent bugs), but not for withlist items.

Is there a particular reason why the Debian-specific patch was dropped when the package was updated to TL 2009? Is it too much of a burden to continue carrying the patch to the Debian tree?

Strangely enough, xetex.def now has v0.93 but a *different* one. I guess xetex was forking the code? I've reapplied manually the patch attached to this bug report to the new version and verified that it still works as intended.

Ok, fine with me. So in any way there will be no regression but at least a partial improvement. I will give it a try.

THe only thing making me think about is that there is written "default driver in xetex 0.997" while debian has 0.996-patch2. The xetex version is relevant primarily for Mac OS X, where pre-0.997 versions used xdv2pdf by default and definitely couldn't support .eps images unless the user specifically reconfigured things. So for Debian, that's not a concern; you'll always be using xdvipdfmx. However, I don't recall offhand whether there were any significant bug-fixes in xdvipdfmx that you'd need in order for this to actually work, or if it's always been supported if you had a suitable xetex.def. I'm away from home and office at the moment, without much chance to test things. So I'd suggest that if you want to consider including this, give it a try and see what happens with your current binaries, and the updated xetex.def. I think there's a good chance it'll work but can't promise anything right now, sorry. Jonathan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Hi,
Currently it is not possible to include EPS graphics with
\includegraphics. Upstream has a very simple fix in their SVN[1] that
modifies xetex.def to fix that.
