Bug#431338: texlive-base-bin: config.ps needs to be updated to support powerdot
Package: texlive-base-bin
Version: 2007-12
Severity: normal
Hi,
I'm not sure if this problem has been addressed before since I'm just
beginning to use powerdot in texlive-latex-recommended package. It has
been reported in powerdot's mailing list that some powerdot documents
fail to get proper page sizes in pdf format through dvips:
http://www.freelists.org/archives/powerdot/05-2007/msg00019.html
And a solution, replacing config.ps with a newer one, is also posted in
the bug report of texlive2007:
http://tug.org/texlive/bugs.html
I wonder if the current config.ps shipped by texlive-base-bin could be
replaced with the newer one? Or is there any potential problems which
prohibit such a simple displacement?
Thank you.
-- Package-specific info:
If you report an error when running one of the TeX-related binaries
(latex, pdftex, metafont,...), or if the bug is related to bad or wrong
output, please include a MINIMAL example input file that produces the
error in your report. Don't forget to also include minimal examples of
other files that are needed, e.g. bibtex databases. Often it also helps
to include the logfile. Please, never send included pictures!
If your example file isn't short or produces more than one page of
output (except when multiple pages are needed to show the problem),
you can probably minimize it further. Instructions on how to do that
can be found at
http://www.latex-einfuehrung.de/mini-en.html (english)
or
