Hartmut forked our version of xpdf in r3304.
Ouch. That will make at least the distributors unhappy.
1. create a layer between xpdf/poppler and luatex like in pdftex 1.50
Probably hard according to Hartmuts remarks on "no idea how to make that consistent with poppler".
2. push changes like these upstream (i.e. to poppler) so that they get integrated there
Hahaha, Martin, wasn't it you complaining about them at one of the BachoTeXs? Well, I am not sure how to proceed. And I am not sure how happy Debian (and probably other) security guys will be about the reintroduction of code duplication etc. But if it is the only way to go, although I am unhappy, so it be. I mean, we could have saved us all the work last year to convert TeX Live to a way that it compiles both wiht poppler and xpdf, only to see that it will soon break again ... :-( Best wishes Norbert ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Norbert Preining preining@{jaist.ac.jp, logic.at, debian.org} JAIST, Japan TU Wien, Austria Debian TeX Task Force DSA: 0x09C5B094 fp: 14DF 2E6C 0307 BE6D AD76 A9C0 D2BF 4AA3 09C5 B094 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ TIDPIT (n.)
