Go to the PTS page, click on the removed link, click on the removal bug link. http://packages.qa.debian.org/s/swftools.html http://packages.qa.debian.org/s/swftools/news/20100124T001657Z.html http://bugs.debian.org/566575 > What is the reason for the request to switch to poppler?

The bug report mentions security issues, I assume those are associated with the embedded code copy of xpdf mentioned in the bug report. poppler is a shared library fork of xpdf. Moving to a shared library instead of an embedded code copy means that the security team have one package to patch instead of many. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
