xpdf should not use t1 lib

Reported by: gnw3 Owned by: ghosthound
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 1.9.2
Keywords: Cc:
Port: xpdf

Description

Upstream http://foolabs.com/xpdf/download.html states:

Xpdf 3.02pl6 was released 2011-mar-21. Because of potential security holes in t1lib, we no longer recommend using it. You can configure Xpdf with "configure --with-t1-library=no". The 3.02pl6 Linux binaries are built without t1lib. There are no updates to the source code or Windows binaries (which never used t1lib).

"configure --with-t1-library=no" should be the default, making t1lib optional.

Resolution: fixed
Status: newclosed

Resolved in r79059 - t1lib support moved to a variant, notes updated to reflect that xpdf 3.02pl5_1 (w/o t1lib) is xpdf 3.02pl6.
