... and hopefully some more in the future. There are a couple of packages with copies of xpdf code in them (different minor versions, of course...), and they have been an annoying source of work every time a security issue pops up in xpdf. As we (or rather Martin Pitt) have shown with tetex-bin, switching to poppler is quite easy; but for that the package should be well maintained. I'd love to hear from the pkg-gnome maintainers, or anybody else, to take that package. Regards, Frank -- Frank Küster Inst. f. Biochemie der Univ. Zürich Debian Developer
