Well, there it is. It works perfectly. It was stupid easy, a moron
like me could do it. If you don't like it, don't use it. It takes a
couple days to get sourcforge to start it. Builds clean with pbuilder
sid.
# update-friendlynames --install /usr/bin/viewpdf viewpdf `which xpdf` 10
Obviously, installing 'viewpdf' will now break, because it doesn't use
it.
If you think it's a tremendously stupid idea, don't use it. My
great-grandfather used to say, there's enough ways in the world for
everybody to have one of their own.
I won't bother to ITP, because I expect everyone here except me will
hate it.
