What commands you used? What if you run xelatex-command as seen in
that file called compileall.sh ?:
xelatex -recorder -src-specials -file-line-error \
-output-driver="xdvipdfmx -q -E -p a4 -l" \
${DOCSBASENAME}.landscape.tex
What the heck? Guess what!: I removed all instances of this from that
aforementioned script:
-output-driver="xdvipdfmx -q -E -p a4 -l"
Now all pages are in landscape. When I had TeX Live 2011, those
commandline-flags were really needed; I found them via Googling. If i
give command "xdvipdfmx -help", it still gives those same command line
flags and they make sense. So, what is going on?
Maybe this particular bug can be closed.
