I'm trying rubber for a while. I'll condense the results here:
- Rubber will automatically convert .eps files into .pdfs for pfdlatex. However, it seems to only do this for includegraphics macros. If you have your own macro, it wont.
- rubber-info is great, which is magic. It is certainly better than anything else I've seen at getting error message and lines. And you don't actually need to use rubber to build to use it.
- It doesn't seem to know when to stop iterating, often stopping early.
- It overwrites your PDF as it builds, which is irritating (it lacks a nice feature from latex-makefile where it builds it in a temp file).
