Is ob-latex maintained ?

[DEBRY . Edouard]

Hello,

I had a couple of small issues when trying to export latex src block to
images.

Here is to fix ideas a src block :

<=====================================================================================>
#+HEADER: :file test1.png
#+HEADER: :exports results
#+HEADER: :results output silent graphics file
#+HEADER: :fit yes :noweb yes :headers '("\\usepackage{tikz}" 
"\\usetikzlibrary{backgrounds}")
#+begin_src latex
\begin{tikzpicture}[background rectangle/.style={fill=olive!30}, show 
background rectangle]
\draw[->] (-3,0) -- (-2,0) arc[radius=0.5cm,start angle=-180,end angle=0] 
(-1,0) -- (1,0) arc[radius=0.5cm,start angle=180,end angle=0] (2,0) -- (3,0);
\filldraw (-1.5,0) circle[radius=1mm];
\filldraw (1.5,0) circle[radius=3mm];
\end{tikzpicture}
#+end_src
<=====================================================================================>

When hitting [C-c C-c], it did produce an "test1.png" however, it was
not a png file but ... a svg one !

I figured out that the process goes through first condition of
"org-babel-execute:latex (body params)" function (around line 150).
This one relies on function "org-create-formula-image" which should
have the process-type in argument, either 'dvipng, 'dvisvgm or
'imagemagick. If not given, the default one is given which for me is set
to 'dvisvgm.

The "org-create-formula-image" should be given in arguments the backend
corresponding to the desired image format. I tried adding 'dvipng
explicitely but image generation fails, however doing it manually (latex
+ dvipng) works.

Does someone maintains "ob-latex" ? and could make things clearer.

Regards
