Created attachment 373804 [details] Version bump ebuild Here an ebuild for this version. The changes are: - update PLOCALES - add fitz use flag. This flag adds a dependency on mupdf:0/.13 - remove fix-sqlite-build.patch - add add-pdf-handler.patch. This patch is needed to make Fitz rendering work. - remove -lmupdf-js-none in fitz-plugin.pro

Adds simpler choice of Javascript library to makefiles. Will prefer in order: MuJS, JavaScriptCore, V8, none based on HAVE_MUJS, HAVE_JSCORE, and HAVE_V8. For simplicity, we build mujstest even with no javascript implementation.
And the ebuilds also seem to touch mupdf js-none lib - though I need some more cups of coffee to understand that sed line °|°
Hello everyone, we just released version 0.4.10 of qpdfview and also updated the (experimental) Fitz plug-in for the API changes of MuPDF version 1.4, i.e. we don't link against "libmupdf-js-none.a" and call "fz_register_document_handler". Hope this helps. Best regards, Adam.
Created attachment 376360 [details] qpdfview 0.4.10 ebuild Hello, I have updated the ebuild to qpdfview 0.4.10. The changes are: - fitz use flag dependency is now mupdf:0/1.4. - remove add-pdf-handler.patch. - add fix-without-sql-build.patch to fix build when building without sql_lite support.

Hello again, sorry for messing up the SQLite-less build again. Will merge that patch upstream as soon as possible. Best regards, Adam.
I did not find a way how to select pdf backend if both poppler and mupdf are available. So I assumed those can not be present at the same time and deactivated poppler if mupdf USE-Flag is set in my Overlay [0]. Is this assumption correct?

(They are technically both present, but there is no setting to select one of them explicitly.) Best regards, Adam. P.S.: Please note that the MuPDF/Fitz plug-in is still considered somewhat experimental.

Sorry, I got mixed up: Because it is considered experimental, the Poppler plug-in is preferred over the Fitz plug-in.
Hello, qpdfview version 0.4.11 was just released after three weeks of beta testing and can hopefully be packaged without excessive patching. Best regards, Adam.

Look at comment #19: If you offer USE="fitz" give the user the chance to actually use fitz ;) You need to DISABLE pdf (aka. poppler-backend), otherwise USE="fitz" has no effect. @ Adam Reichold: is there a TODO which tasks need to be done to make fitz-backend non-experimental? Are there still features missing or is it just (public) testing?

Latest version in tree now. Thanks for your contributions!

Are there still features missing or is it > just (public) testing? Hello Franz, there is no TODO since the reason not just technical: I wrote the Fitz plug-in because of a feature request some time ago but it is basically missing a maintainer since because I am mostly occupied with the application and the Poppler plug-in. So there is almost no testing of this code from my side. I am also reluctant to mark this as non-experimental since MuPDF/Fitz is currently packaged as a static library without a stable API or ABI. Best regards, Adam.
