Description John N. Laliberte (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-01-28 19:19:22 UTC
from upstream:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=313117

"
Gpdf is no longer maintained, closing WONTFIX. Please use Evince for your pdf
viewing needs.
"

we don't want to maintain upstream stuff that has _lots_ of security holes b/c of xpdf.

this is a reminder message for us to get mask gpdf asap. 
( its in the 2.10 meta )
