Dear Hans, dear Taco,

on the Debian side we got the attached bug report together with a patch
for mptopdf.pl. Can you comment on it, or consider it for inclusion?

Thanks and all the best

Norbert

When using mptopdf on a .mp file containing only one figure and thus
using beginfig(-1) to have no numbering of the resulting file at all,
the PDF is not created. This is because mpost produces a .ps file in
this case, while mptopdf.pl expects a suffix containing one or more
digits or being .mps.

Example input .mp file:
##########################
input metauml;
beginfig(-1);
Begin.b;
End.e;
e.w = b.e + (15,0);
drawObjects(b,e);
clink(transition)(b, e);
endfig;
end
##########################

The attached patch fixes this bug. Please note, that now the resulting
file has the same name as the input .mp file with "s/.mp$/.pdf/" - not
including the intermediate suffix as it is done with the figure numbers.
It is now also done like this, if the intermediate output file has the
suffix .mps, while I don't know when and why this may occur.

Best regards,
Martin
