Package: ps2eps
Version: 1.47-1
Severity: wishlist
I have the need to create many small eps files that are mostly excerpts
from a much larger work. In particular, I wish to take equations
formatted by LaTeX and turn them into eps files.
For this purpose, it would be most convenient if all of the equations
were in a single file, separating each section by a manual page break.
For the present, I use the following inefficient hackerly bash script:
let i=1
set -e
while true; do
echo "Processing page $i."
( psselect -p$i $1 | ps2eps --loose > ${1%.ps}_$i.eps ) 2>&1 | grep
"Wrote 1 pages" > /dev/null
let i++
done
I might give it a shot if I knew perl ... only python here.
Thank you -- Glen Mabey

Hello,
This bug was forwarded to upstream some years ago, but there was no update
here, so I re-asked to upstream what was the status. Here is his answer:

Since the manpage documents the workaround, I'm closing this bug.
Cheers,
