Dear maintainers of fax packages in Debian, We have a bugreport against the tetex-bin package (rather old, I admit) that complains that our dvi2fax script produces output that is not recognized by efax.
The problem is that dvi2fax switched from producing "raw G3 data" (as file(1) says) to making " group 3 fax data, fine resolution (204x196 DPI)" - the resolution can be configured. It seems that efax doesn't understand the latter. Should this be regarded as a bug in tetex-bin? If yes, should we revert to the old form or provide a switch for both formats? Or is the format that efax understands (raw G3 data) deprecated? Thanks in advance, Frank P.S. raw G3 is produced with gs -q -dSAFER -sDEVICE=faxg3 -r$res -sOutputFile=$NAME-%03d.fax -sNOPAUSE - (where $res is, configurable, 204x196 or 204x98) group 3 fax is produced with gs -q -dSAFER -sDEVICE=dfaxhigh -sOutputFile=$NAME-%03d.fax -sNOPAUSE - (or replace dfaxhigh by dfaxlo) -- Frank Küster, Biozentrum der Univ.
