Hi,
I would like to ask a slot for a Poppler 0.38.x transition.
Currently there is Poppler 0.38.x in experimental already.
This transition impacts the existing poppler libraries in the following ways:
- libpoppler46 → libpoppler57
- libpoppler-glib8 -- BC with 0.26 (one new symbol)
- libpoppler-qt4-4 -- BC with 0.26 (few new symbols)
- libpoppler-qt5-1 -- BC with 0.26 (few new symbols)
Below it is a list of sources which are touched by the transition, and their
situation, sorted by solutions:
Sources that compile fine, and can be binNMU'ed:
boomaga
cups-filters
gdal
inkscape
ipe-tools
libreoffice
pdf2djvu
pdf2htmlex
popplerkit.framework
texlive-bin
texworks
Sources that currently FTBFS:
* xpdf
The version currently in unstable does not support Poppler 0.38.0
(#807087).
* calligra
gambas3
gdcm
These should be support Poppler 0.38.0 already, but they FTBFS for
other reasons, and currently all of them are out of testing.
Other cases:
* derivations
This source builds a libpoppler-based utility application which is
only used during the build to generate other data, and no trace of
that application are left in the resulting arch:all package.
I grouped all the bugs mentioned above (even the solved ones) with the
following usertag:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?users=p...@debian.org;tag=poppler-0.38
A ben tracker for poppler would have:
title = "poppler 0.38";
is_affected = .build-depends ~ "libpoppler-private-dev" | .source ~ /texworks/;
is_good = .depends ~ "libpoppler57";
is_bad = .depends ~ "libpoppler46";
Thanks,
