Package: xpdf Severity: wishlist Hi!
Given the vast amount of security vulnerabilities in xpdf and the fun I always have in preparing security updates for a handful of xpdf code copies, the crackful idea of porting xpdf itself to poppler came up the other day. Since I ported kpdf to poppler two days ago, I just thought that I might as well give it a try. :) And after half an hour of small code changes it indeed worked. I extracted the UI-only bits from the xpdf Debian package, added a minimal Makefile, and tar'ed it up to http://people.ubuntu.com/~pitti/packages/xpdf-poppler-3.0.1.tar.gz Unpack and make should just work, provided you have poppler-dev and lesstif2-dev installed. We don't use xpdf in Ubuntu any more, so I'm not actually interested in providing an actual build system and the like. So if you are not interested in this at all, just feel free to close this bug. :) Thanks for considering, Martin -- Martin Pitt http://www.piware.de Ubuntu Developer http://www.ubuntu.com Debian Developer http://www.debian.org
