[tex-live] What is the right way to include eps in latex for pdf generating?

[Lars Madsen]

Because .eps is not a supported extension for use with pdflatex.

            .png,.pdf,.jpg,.mps,.jpeg,.jbig2,.jb2,%
            .PNG,.PDF,.JPG,.JPEG,.JBIG2,.JB2%

are supported.

AFAIK pdflatex does not contain features to determine the file type from the file it self. It looks at the extension.

This is why one of the other suggestions in the thread will work. The one where you tell pdflatex that if it encounters an unknown extension, then assume mps

In standard LaTeX you have the same thing, *everything* is assumed to be EPS no matter the extension.

Okey, so why the right way of including metapost to pdf/latex ( http://math.berkeley.edu/~vojta/tex/samp-l/mpost.html ) works when specifying .mps extension and stops to work when using .eps extension? (Proof: http://paste.debian.net/131115 ).
(Also, in fact, I don't understand recent Akira's letter about "prologues")
