poppler-0.22.2-glib-Always-start-from-the-beginning-when-starting-a.patch

Poppler 0.22.2 contains a bug in searching a text. The effect is a PDF viewer cannot find a text that has been found before.

Reproducer:

(1) Open a PDF document in app-text/zathura viewer with app-text/zathura-pdf-poppler PDF back-end.
(2) Search a word that is on the page. (Press `/', type the word and press Enter.) The word becomes found and high-lighted.
(3) Search for the same word again by the same procedure. It will not find anything.

This issue has been triaged in zathura bug tracking system <http://bugs.pwmt.org/issue287> as a bug in glib poppler binding <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59972> and fixed in poppler git tree with poppler-0.22.2-56-g4ee6757 commit:

commit 4ee6757dd7de9211faf8601531342a199225a06d
Author: Carlos Garcia Campos <[e-mail]>
Date:   Sun Mar 24 12:53:29 2013 +0100

    glib: Always start from the beginning when starting a new search on a page
    
    And start from previous match when searching the next one on the same
    page. This allows to search for the same string multiple times on the
    same page.

Please apply the patch to the stable app-text/poppler ebuild or stabilize a newer app-text/poppler. I verified locally that the patch applies and fixes the issue.

This is fixed in poppler-0.22.3 and later. 

Unfortunately poppler changes soname from 0.22.2 to 0.22.3 again, which pulls in a lot of rebuilds and makes new libreoffice-bin necessary... which is why I tend to delay the stablereq here.

[Comment 2 Andreas K. Hüttel 2013-09-16 11:47:51 UTC]

Arches, it's that day again. Please stabilize app-text/poppler-0.22.5
(Note that this triggers EAPI=5 subslot rebuilds.)
