Japanese users upgrading from etch would have xpdf-japanese installed because evince (poppler) needed and used xpdf-japanese, and natural upgrade path would be xpdf-japanese supporting poppler. These factors make adding support in poppler somewhat reasonable. diff -ur xpdf-japanese-20040727-orig/debian/changelog xpdf-japanese-20040727/debian/changelog --- xpdf-japanese-20040727-orig/debian/changelog 2008-08-22 07:13:09.000000000 -0700 +++ xpdf-japanese-20040727/debian/changelog 2008-08-22 07:24:30.000000000 -0700 @@ -1,3 +1,10 @@ +xpdf-japanese (1:20040727-1.1) unstable; urgency=low + + * add symlinks to facilitate poppler transition for lenny. + In the longer term, users should migrate to poppler-data. + + -- Junichi Uekawa <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Fri, 22 Aug 2008 07:24:30 -0700 + xpdf-japanese (1:20040727-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream version diff -ur xpdf-japanese-20040727-orig/debian/rules xpdf-japanese-20040727/debian/rules --- xpdf-japanese-20040727-orig/debian/rules 2008-08-22 07:13:09.000000000 -0700 +++ xpdf-japanese-20040727/debian/rules 2008-08-22 07:45:47.000000000 -0700 @@ -2,6 +2,9 @@ TARGET=japanese CMAP=/usr/share/fonts/cmap/adobe-japan1 +# datadir for poppler +POPPLER_DATA=/usr/share/poppler + POSTRM=debian/xpdf-$(TARGET).postrm PREINST=debian/xpdf-$(TARGET).preinst @@ -29,6 +32,11 @@ cp -r *.cidToUnicode *.unicodeMap debian/xpdf-$(TARGET)/usr/share/xpdf/$(TARGET)/ cp add-to-xpdfrc debian/xpdf-$(TARGET)/etc/xpdf/xpdfrc-$(TARGET) + # install poppler symlinks + mkdir -p debian/xpdf-$(TARGET)${POPPLER_DATA}/cMap/ + dh_link ${CMAP} ${POPPLER_DATA}/cMap/Adobe-Japan1 + dh_link /usr/share/xpdf/japanese/Adobe-Japan1.cidToUnicode ${POPPLER_DATA}/cidToUnicode/Adobe-Japan1/Adobe-Japan1.cidToUnicode + cp debian/preinst-template $(PREINST) cp debian/postrm-template $(POSTRM) regards, junichi -- [EMAIL PROTECTED],debian.org} -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
