https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=223387 Summary: don't use the raw libpoppler interface directly Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: unspecified Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME AssignedTo: bnc-team-gnome@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: andreas.hanke@gmx-topmail.de QAContact: qa@suse.de Right now, the following non-library packages have a direct dependency on libpoppler.so.1: abiword evince gimp-unstable Applications are supposed to use poppler only through one of the bindings (either poppler-glib or poppler-qt). The raw libpoppler interface is not a frozen API, it might change any time (even during a security update) and applications that unnecessarily link against libpoppler will misbehave (e.g. crash). Two of the above mentioned applications don't use libpoppler at all: # ldd -u -r /opt/gnome/bin/evince | grep -E 'Unused|poppler' Unused direct dependencies: /usr/lib/libpoppler.so.1 # ldd -u -r /opt/gnome/bin/evince-thumbnailer | grep -E 'Unused|poppler' Unused direct dependencies: /usr/lib/libpoppler.so.1 # ldd -u -r /opt/gnome/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/poppler | grep -E 'Unused|poppler' Unused direct dependencies: /usr/lib/libpoppler.so.1 Please make sure that these don't unnecessarily link to libpoppler in order to avoid future breakage. Abiword is a special case because it does indeed use libpoppler directly. It shouldn't, but that's an upstream issue. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
