Description Michael Weber (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2013-06-10 08:41:12 UTC
the update is non-trivial,
first steps were done with app-text/jmupdf[system-mupdf].
Comment 1 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2017-04-29 09:37:05 UTC
I guess this affects all app-text/mupdf security bugs.
Comment 2 James Le Cuirot gentoo-dev 2017-08-30 22:19:38 UTC
Michael, how would you feel about last-riting this? Upstream is dead, it bundles a vulnerable mupdf, nothing actually depends on it, and if it really doesn't build with Java 8 (as the deps imply) then it's blocking the removal of Java 7.

You forgot about jtweakpdf-1.1. Given it is not in the tree yet. But there is https://bugs.gentoo.org/331981
I'm not using it regularly, but it is a nice tool to have...

Okay but someone who cares enough will need to do something about jmupdf. I can live with a dead upstream but the vulnerabilities are a showstopper. The Java 7 requirement may not be a problem once we get Java 9 because it can build against older releases more easily.
Comment 6 James Le Cuirot gentoo-dev 2017-12-06 21:56:48 UTC
app-text/jmupdf has been last-rited. Sorry folks.
