Bug#485071: Please provide support for including EPS with XeLaTeX

[Faidon Liambotis <paravoid@debian.org>]

Package: texlive-latex-base
Version: 2007-14
Severity: normal
Tags: fixed-upstream patch

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.

The patch is:

Please backport this patch to the version in Debian; it seems quite
safe, it has existed in upstream's SVN since October 2007 and surely is a
nice feature to have.

Thanks,
Faidon
