Bug#873951: xpdf: new major upstream version 4.x

2018-08-30 Thread Masanori Goto 
It sounds like the big question is whether we want to remove Motif
version or not.  If we want to continue to retain, we may want to have
both (e.g.) xpdf-motif and xpdf-qt (and default is xpdf-qt).

I personally think the only advantage of xpdf-motif (3.0.4) is speed -
because it has a small footprint to start the app. Other than that, is
there any other reason to keep having 3.0.4?

Not really. One problem with evince is that its UI is designed for
GNOME only:

  https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=745854

(libgtk3-nocsd0 is a workaround, but that's suboptimal and the use of
LD_PRELOAD conflicts with some commands).

Then, about Motif vs Qt, I don't know. I don't like very much how
the focus works with Motif (or perhaps this is specific to xpdf),
for instance with "Find".

xpdf 4.00 switched from motif to QT. IMHO this eliminates the only
reason to use xpdf instead of evince, given that both are based on
poppler in Debian. I think we should keep maintaining 3.04 as a fork as
long as this is feasible, although anyone is of course welcome to
backport fixes and features.
