Bug#962779: djview4 color PDF export results in a blank page

2020-06-14 Thread Barak A. Pearlmutter
Thanks for your very thorough bug report. The changes to tiff2pdf.c in the Debian package are actually inherited from upstream, because we're tracking upstream development as that's the easiest way to deal with bugs etc, and upstream is very cooperative. So I'd suggest filing this on upstream, be

It sounds like djview-plugin should just be removed, since it supports a now-dead plugin API. Any objections?

Holy pavloova, how could I have not noticed that? It's using \alpha to hold the transparency! (I hate the lack of modularity in TeX, it's a nightmare of a programming language.)

Great. I was about to look at doing an ACE NMU, so that's good to hear. Turns out there is a new upstream version of the ACE libraries. Not sure if the ACE team is actually active or planning to upgrade. Might be a good idea to give them a ping. Cheers, --Barak.

Bug#955633: terminus: Terminals use bash hardcoded instead of user's configured login shell

2020-04-03 Thread Barak A. Pearlmutter
Below is why I was thinking $SHELL, especially since $FAKE_SHELL can be used to override the /etc/passwd entry. Of course a desktop environment or whatever might launch a terminal window without having gone through login, although I imagine some logic in the display manger should replicate login's

Thanks for picking up this issue. As a work-around, you can right click -> Preferences and change the shell going forward. But I agree it should default properly. Obviously it's an upstream issue, so I'll raise it there. But I'd think to the value of $SHELL (which is set by login to the entry in /

This would appear to be in an ACE library header file, rather than in the iv-tools package proper. Unless I'm missing something, it seems like this report should be moved from iv-tools to ace.

Great you're sponsoring cool-retro-term. Just FYI, there's a slightly tweaked packaging branch I put together, in https://github.com/barak/cool-retro-term/ branch "debian". The main differences are it generates the man page using help2man at build time, and provides x-terminal-emulator. See also

Bug#710440: upstream now provides a library

It'd be pretty straightforward to tweak the build system to generate both static and dynamically linked executables, or to have an option for it. The automake stuff is designed for exactly that kind of thing and makes it really easy.

Yes, I suppose it's a performance wishlist bug. But really there is no reason for it to use stdio formatting; really the zero-padded case is no harder to do with direct ascii manipulation than the non-zero-padded case.
