Package: tetex-bin
Version: 3.0-4
Severity: normal

pdftex uses code from xpdf to parse PDF files.  The code is copied to
the source tree and statically linked, and the different versions of
xpdf code proved to be a security nightmare.

Now that we have libpoppler in testing and unstable, we should really
try whether pdftex (and maybe also other programs?) can be compiled and
used with dynamic linking against libpoppler.

Does anybody on the list feel like trying this?

TIA, Frank

Changes: 
 tetex-bin (3.0-12) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * Because of the frequent security issues with xpdf, we do no longer use
     the included xpdf code, but libpoppler instead. Many thanks to Martin Pitt
     <martin.pitt@canonical.com> for the patch (closes: #316546) [frank]
   * Add debian/patches/patch-poppler to build the two files that require xpdf
     (texk/web2c/pdftexdir/{pdftosrc.cc,pdftoepdf.cc}) against poppler:
     - Adapt include file paths.
     - s/GString/GooString/ (poppler change to not conflict with glib).
     - Adapt GlobalParams() constructor.
     - web2c/pdftexdir/depend.mk: Removed, and re-generated with 'make depend'
       to get rid of all the zlib and xpdf references to the shipped sources.
     - configure.in: Set needs_libxpdf=no even when building with pdftex, to
       avoid trying to build the internal xpdf copy.
     - configure: Stripped down changes generated by running autoconf 2.13.
   * Removed xpdf security patches, they are not necessary any more.
   * debian/control: Build-Depend on libpoppler-dev.
   * debian/rules.in:
     - Build with XXCFLAGS='-I/usr/include/poppler' and LDFLAGS='-lpoppler'.
     - Remove libs/xpdf and libs/zlib before building, just to make sure that
       we really don't use it.
     - Clean debian/latex.info on clean to be able to build the
       source package after building binaries.
   * Add a build-dependency on libjpeg62-dev - pdfetex was linked against
     it even in older versions, but apparently the development library is
     no longer pulled in by other build-deps.
