Hi, I just tried to change the banner for our Debian-specific changes in teTeX's pdftex 1.21a, but that doesn't work well. --- tetex-bin-3.0.orig/texk/web2c/pdfetexdir/pdfetexextra.in 2005-07-20 12:28:21.000000000 +0200 +++ tetex-bin-3.0/texk/web2c/pdfetexdir/pdfetexextra.in 2006-03-24 10:17:29.000000000 +0100 @@ -26,7 +26,7 @@ (generated from ../lib/texmfmp.c). */ -#define BANNER "This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-PDFTEX-VERSION-ETEX-VERSION" +#define BANNER "This is pdfeTeX using libpoppler, Version 3.141592-PDFTEX-VERSION-ETEX-VERSION" #define COPYRIGHT_HOLDER "Peter Breitenlohner (eTeX)/Han The Thanh (pdfTeX)" #define AUTHOR NULL #define PROGRAM_HELP PDFETEXHELP leads to the funny output # pdftex --version pdfeTeX using libpoppler 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4) kpathsea version 3.5.4 Copyright (C) 1997-2004 Peter Breitenlohner (eTeX)/Han The Thanh (pdfTeX).

Appending something after the version number doesn't seem to work, either. If this is still the same in the 1.40 betas, I'll report a bug...
