Hi,
I would like to ask a slot for a Poppler 0.24.x transition.
I know a 0.22 transition has been done recently, but the future 0.26
will not be released at least for another month and it breaks few
sources using the private libpoppler, so I would like to introduce 0.24
in Debian soon.
Currently there is Poppler 0.24.x in experimental already.
This transition impacts the existing poppler libraries in the following ways:
- libpoppler37 → libpoppler44
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:
calligra
cups-filters
gambas3
gdal
gdcm
gnome-commander
inkscape
pdf2djvu
pdftoipe
popplerkit.framework
texlive-bin
Sources that currently FTBFS:
* xpdf
The version currently in unstable does not support Poppler 0.24,
while the version in experimental does (#736443).
* libreoffice
LO 4.1 does not support Poppler 0.24 (needs an upstream commit [1]),
while LO 4.2 (currently in experimental) does. Thus it is matter of
either backporting that commit, or pushing LO 4.2 in unstable.
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-0.24
A ben tracker for poppler would have:
is_affected = .build-depends ~ "libpoppler-private-dev";
is_good = .depends ~ "libpoppler44";
is_bad = .depends ~ "libpoppler37";
