Bug#1101782: texlive-extra-utils: pdfbook2 --- meaning of -s has been reversed
Package: texlive-extra-utils
Version: 2024.20250309-2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
Until the most recent upgrade to texlive-extra-utils, doing:
pdfbook2 x.pdf
produced a file x-book.pdf that could be printed with a standard
duplex printer (flipping on long edge).
Now, pdfbook2 has stopped putting every second sheet upside-down, so
I need to do
pdfbook2 -s x.pdf
to get the same effect.
The meaning of `-s` seems to have been reversed in the most recent release:
according to the man page it means, format for printing flipping on short edge.
I'd expect a breaking change like this to be in the Debian changelog or README.
FWIW it looks like this issue upstream: https://github.com/jenom/pdfbook2/issues/26
