Bug#632607: ps2pdf.1: please clarify that output is to the cwd by default
Package: ghostscript
Version: 9.02~dfsg-2
Severity: minor
Tags: upstream patch
Forwarded: http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=692322
Hi,
Today I wanted to view a manual page with a PDF viewer:
$ man -t ls >/tmp/ls.ps
$ ps2pdf /tmp/ls.ps
$ run-mailcap /tmp/ls.pdf
Error: no such file "/tmp/ls.pdf"
My mistake --- the output actually went to ./ls.pdf. But could this
be clarified in the manpage? Patch at the URL above.
Incidentally, the manpage in German seems to be slightly out of date.
It does not contain the paragraph about the output filename, nor the
pointer to look at the HTML documentation for information about PDF/X
and PDF/A documents.
Thanks for keeping Debian's ghostscript package in good shape, and
hope that helps.
Regards,
Jonathan
