Re: Bug#397060: epstopdf: figure 1 gets truncated in pdf version of cdbs documentation manual

thanks

Hi back,

here are the comments from upstream:

,---
| I've checked up on this. It was a bug in Graphviz 2.8, which is what
| the user was using. (http://people.debian.org/~frank/depgraph.eps)
| This has been fixed and works correctly in 2.15.
| 
| I also checked and the conversion problems noted in
| http://www.graphviz.org/doc/FAQ.html#Q4a
| still hold with both ps2pdf and epstopdf.
| 
| Yes, setpagedevice is illegal in EPS, but the intention for -Tps2
| option was that the output would be converted to PDF and not used as
| EPS in some postscript document. In addition, the use is benign for
| ps2pdf and epstopdf, and provides a real benefit when one tries to
| view a large graph in PDF.
| (https://mailman.research.att.com/pipermail/graphviz-interest/2005q4/002941.html)
| By the way, -Tpdf from cairo must be doing something similar.
| 
| We could add more -T options or attributes to get -Tps2 output without
| the setpagedevice, but given the comments above, I don't think this is
| worth. There is always sed '/setpagedevice/d'.
|
| (Cyril, the executive summary is that Debian bug 397060 can be closed
| by moving to a new version of Graphviz.)
`---

I'm closing this bug in the changelog of the upcoming 2.16 release
(which will have to go through NEW), but 2.12 (available in unstable)
should fix this already.

Cheers,
