Hi! Frank Küster [2004-11-01 17:43 +0100]: > Why do you think this is a bad habit? Because every time a security bug pops up in xpdf, one needs to fix not only xpdf itself, but also cupsys, tetex, kpdf, gpdf, and the other gazillion packages that include a million different versions of the xpdf code. > As long as xpdf does not provide a library which we could use, what > other choice is there (except rewriting it)? Please do not get me wrong, this was not a blame against you :-) I know that xpdf does not export a library, so there is only little a Debian maintainer can do. It's a matter of upstream coordination (mainly). Sorry for the misunderstanding, and have a nice evening!
