PDFs created from transfig/fig2dev should be somewhat more reproducible now. "Somewhat", as the PDF itself is not fully reproducible (time based IDs), but all the parts which are copied into the final document by pdflatex are. Patch has just landed in Factory, and was also accepted by upstream. (There is a second patch which also fixes it for the fig2mpdf feature. As fig2mpdf is not part of upstream, this resides in the openSUSE package only.) This fixes R-B for transfig itself, and also for many packages which use fig2dev as part of the build process. Kind regards, Stefan
