Bug#666532: texi2pdf vs texi2dvi --pdf

2012-04-02 Thread Karl Berry
Hi Norbert, I think you missed one point ... thumbpdf didn't have real problems, I was simply reacting to the error messages you reported, since I didn't have anything else to go on. I also have the feeling that it comes from the fact that texi2pdf is run two times, and the second

Package thumbpdf Warning: Missing driver name. I didn't look, but I doubt texi2dvi actually works with thumbpdf, given the name. DVI ... PDF ... not the same thing :). Package thumbpdf Warning: Compressed PDF objects of PDF 1.5 are not supported. Well, this seems clear enough.

Bug#383781: [tex-k] Size limitation for dvips output files

2010-09-23 Thread Karl Berry
Hi Akira, I think there is no 2G limit for the output file in the present dvips even in 32bit systems. Right, as I already explained, there is no limit specifically in dvips. I can only surmise that on w32 the compiler does 64-bit file stuff by default. Unless you did a ton of 64-bit

Hi Vladimir, You are surely right that other filename-related race conditions exist, and that adding the pid to the temp file for fls is merely a palliative, not a fix. However, since that's the case that was reported, and since it was easy to do, it seemed worth doing. That's all. Thanks,
