Message-Id: <E15WfzI-0000Wg-00@ppc83.lri.fr>
Delivered-To: submit@bugs.debian.org
Package: tetex-bin
Version: 1.0.7+20001218-4
Severity: normal
File: /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf
SUMMARY:
The following facts
1) the config file for dvips is named config.ps
2) the default search path for TEXCONFIG (.;$TEXMF/dvips//) in
/etc/texmf/texmf.cnf includes the current directory.
make dvips fail when applied within a directory containing a
postscript file named config.ps
POSSIBLES SOLUTIONS:
1) Renaming the extension (.ps) of the config file of dvips to anything
specific to dvips
or
2) Removing "." from TEXCONFIG's setting.
DEMONSTRATION OF THE BUG:
Create two TeX files one of them being called config.tex
jcourant@ppc83:/tmp$ echo "Hello \end" > config.tex
jcourant@ppc83:/tmp$ cp config.tex hello.tex
TeX them:
jcourant@ppc83:/tmp$ tex config.tex
This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.3.1)
(config.tex [1] )
Output written on config.dvi (1 page, 212 bytes).
Transcript written on config.log.
jcourant@ppc83:/tmp$ tex hello.tex
This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.3.1)
(hello.tex [1] )
Output written on hello.dvi (1 page, 212 bytes).
Transcript written on hello.log.
Apply dvips to config.dvi
jcourant@ppc83:/tmp$ dvips config.dvi -o config.ps
This is dvips(k) 5.86d Copyright 1999 Radical Eye Software (www.radicaleye.com)
' TeX output 2001.08.14:1659' -> config.ps
<texc.pro>. [1]
Applying dvips to hello.dvi will fail (exit 1, does not produce the
expected hello.ps but might produces other files, depending on the
content of config.ps).
jcourant@ppc83:/tmp$ dvips hello.dvi -o hello.ps
./config.ps:14:dvips: strange line
[lots of garbage deleted]
I wish the configuration file for dvips would have another name or,
maybe simpler, that the default TEXCONFIG does not mention the current
directory. This way, the casual user does not have to worry and to
read the whole dvips doc to discover that config.ps is the name of
dvips config file and the power user that wants to change dvips
configuration can still override the settings of texmf.cnf by an
environment variable (and she will immediately go to the section about
configuration files in the doc of dvips).
