[cups.bugs] [LOW] STR #2027: [PATCH] dvipdf doesnot pass -R flag to dvips

[Hin-Tak Leung]

[STR New]

Security not be by-passed at the system level for user-convenience.

On a per-user set-up, you can achieve the same effect without 
sacrifying security, by creating some symbolic links like this:

ln -s  ../fig/GaspardY.eps \
 ../fig/multiArchi.eps \
 ../fig/multiplicationMatrice.eps \
 ../fig/multiplicationMatrice.eps .

and modify your latex file to read from current directory instead of
one directory above.
(and I think there is at least another non-security-breaking solution,
by teaching dvips to search alternative locations for file - in general,
hard-coding paths in latex files aren't really a good practice).
