[pdf-devel] xpdf and GPLv3

2011-08-21 Thread Karl Berry
Jose and all, I feel I should note here that in the xpdf 3.03 release, Derek has changed the licensing to GPLv2 | GPLv3. However, since that is still not GPLv2+ (or GPLv3+), I see no way for GNU PDF to use any code from there, still, because of the possibility of a GPLv4 someday. Unless you want

Re: [pdf-devel] Integration with standard Texinfo toolchain

2008-04-18 Thread Karl Berry
I am using texi2pdf and texi2dvi in some software I am developing and was wondering what the plans were, if any, to integrate the Texinfo tool chain with the GNU PDF work. Sorry, I have no clue what that means! Texinfo uses, of course, pdftex to generate PDF, and I find it hard to fat

Re: [pdf-devel] Public API and gl_list

2008-03-08 Thread Karl Berry
P.S. Another approach to the gl*.h problem would be to copy them from gnulib into the source tree in the standard way, but then have the gnupdf build process copy them to (say) pdf_list.h. Then that could be installed and you wouldn't have to deal with physical inclusion, which granted is pretty w

2008-03-08 Thread Karl Berry
OTOH, I'm not totally sure about the inclusions of "stddef.h" and "stdbool.h" which are needed by gl_list and whose include directives are in "pdf-types.h". They may not be portable across platforms and they're small enough that we could create our own versions. Gnulib goes to a l

If you think it's not a good idea to modify those headers we should copy them to another location and modify them there. I guess it's the same. What? This makes no sense to me. As we already discussed, Gnulib headers should not be modified in your source tree (then you can't update t

What I meant is to _phisically_ include gl_list.h and its dependencies in pdf.h. That would be ok. If with "distribute" you mean installing gl_list.h in /usr/local/include/ Indeed, gl_anything.h should not be installed, for a couple reasons -- 1) the whole purpose of gnulib is to be

BTW, distributing gnulib headers along with pdf.h is also a bad idea, isn't it? I don't see anything very problematic with distributing them. So the public API shouldn't depend on any data type coming from those headers. That indeed may be troublesome -- you wouldn't want a PD

Uff sorry :-) The file gl_list.h is downloaded from the Gnulib repository using `gnulib-tool import', and I am not sure if it's a good You definitely don't want to modify anything that comes from gnulib. That would defeat the whole purpose of gnulib.
