Description of problem: It's great you now use texlive, however the default installation does not allow one to use pdflatex to build documents that include MetaPost figures. The reason is the release fails to make supp-pdf.tex available. To fix the problem, the default release should include texlive-texmf-context. Any attempt to install a metapost package should make sure texlive-texmf-context is also installed. How reproducible: The attached gzipped tar files includes a LaTeX document with a MetaPost figure. Type make in the directory, and then study the file doc.log. Actual results: The file supp-pdf.tex is missing Expected results: doc.pdf is generated. Additional info:
Created attachment 306713 [details] Doc made from metapost and pdflatex
Created attachment 306714 [details] Doc log showing the use of supp-pdf.tex
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
