Description Tiburcio da Silva 2007-06-08 23:35:28 UTC

Hey guys, it's seems a major change in keyjnote hasn't been addressed and it's
missing from the ebuild. According to the devs comment on the News sections of
the official website:
"Most importantly, KeyJnote now uses Xpdf's pdftoppm as the default PDF
rendering backend."
and
"Of course, there's a bunch of minor extensions and also bugfixes, most
importantly the one for the supersample mode. (Which, on the other hand, is
somewhat obsolete now that Xpdf is used for rendering :)"

On the docs it's emphasized:
"# Xpdf for PDF rendering — http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/ (strongly
recommended)"
"# GhostScript for alternate PDF rendering — www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost (optional
if Xpdf is present, strongly recommended if it's not)"

Thanks.

hello, no this is not required, as the ebuild depends on poppler ("Poppler is a PDF rendering library based on the xpdf-3.0 code base"). so not needed here.
