Here is an ebuild for poppler-0.4.2. Changelog says: - Fix a rotation bug. - Fix freetype pkg-config check - Default to built-in decompression. I've added and modified some deps and configure options to make the ebuild behavior a bit more deterministic (imho, too much things are left to ./configure autodetection in the current ebuild, which make it hard to track the real deps of the package). This is more a bunch of suggestions, feel free to enforce what you think should not be optionnal, etc.: - added a cairo USE flag and optionnal dep (sure, that should wait it's unmasked). I would suggest that "cairo" becomes a global flag btw, 'cause it would be the fifth package to have it localy. - added jpeg USE flag and optionnal dep (maybe that could be forced on, everybody loves jpeg) - added zlib USE flag and optionnal dep (this is to override the internal code. Maybe it could be forced off, since that's upstream defaults) - gtk+ dep is >=2.4 because of some glib API functions - added --enable/--disable option for gtk+ (to make the USE flag actually work) - moved dev-util/pkgconfig from RDEPEND to DEPEND - removed t1lib dep (dead code only, and the lib is never linked) - made explicit that qt4 wrappers won't be built (it should imho wait that the lib is keyworded, get its official USE flag, etc., so i think it's better to not link against it at all, even for the braves who already have it installed) - added --enable-opi, without a USE flag (the option to disable it will disappear in next version anyway) One thing i was not sure about is the rdep on ghostscript. Are these fonts still really required now that poppler uses fontconfig et al.? Thanks, TGL.

is there any hope to see this in portage? I've got a few PDFs that poppler 0.4.1 can't display (the rotation bug, I suppose) while 0.4.2 has no problems, and the work on dependencies is remarkable
I've added 0.4.2. I had to take out the cairo use flag and dep, because cairo is masked, so I can't depend on it until it comes out of mask. In addition, I've disabled the cairo backend by default, per bug #104830. If people care enough, I can re-enable it, but I think correct operation is more important than whiz-bang new features. As soon as cairo is out of package.mask, I'll put the use flag back and revbump.
