Description Christian Kotz 2008-09-23 19:35:40 UTC

'pdflatex' from texlive-2008  produces always pdf output and ignores switch -output-format=dvi. also if called through symlink 'latex' it produces pdf output per default.

Comment 1 Christian Kotz 2008-09-23 20:07:45 UTC

pdf was apparently turned by packages which have been updated in texlive-2008
(behavior changed)
