CTAN update: epstopdf-pkg
Date: November 29, 2019 10:27:11 PM CET
Oberdiek Package Support Group submitted an update to the
epstopdf-pkg
package.
Version number: 2.8 2019-11-27
License type: lppl1.3
Summary description: Call epstopdf "on the fly"
Announcement text:
epstopdf v2.8 2019/11/27 epstopdf-base package is called by the core graphics package in pdftex and luatex to automate conversion of EPS files to PDF before being included into the document. The full package (which may be called directly) has many options which are not used by the core processing, and handling the options caused many packages to be loaded. Previously \documentclass{article} \usepackage{graphics} \begin{document} \end{document} loaded the packages infwarerr, grfext, kvdefinekeys, ltxcmds, kvoptions, keyval, kvsetkeys, etexcmds, ifluatex, iftex, pdftexcmds The new release avoids loading packages when epstopdf-base is loaded without options and so none of the above list will be included allowing the core graphics package to only rely on this epstopdf bundle, and also the Lua portion of pdftexcmds when used with LuaTeX. All these packages are still loaded by \usepackage{epstopdf} for compatibility.
This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/epstopdf-pkg More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/epstopdf-pkg CTAN is run entirely by volunteers and supported by TeX user groups Please join a user group or donate to one, see https://ctan.org/lugs
Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Ina Dau --

epstopdf-pkg – Call epstopdf "on the fly"
The package adds support for EPS files in the graphicx package when running under pdfTeX. If an EPS graphic is detected, the package spawns a process to convert the EPS to PDF, using the script epstopdf. This of course requires that shell escape is enabled for the pdfTeX run.
