# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line
# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|'
# on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must
# make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also
# customary to leave one space after the ':'.

poppler-compat: poppler-compat (a library for rendering PDF documents)
poppler-compat:
poppler-compat: Poppler is a library based on the xpdf PDF viewer developed by Derek
poppler-compat: Noonburg of Glyph and Cog, LLC.  Since xpdf does not provide a shared
poppler-compat: library, whenever a flaw was found potentially dozens of applications
poppler-compat: incorporating code from xpdf would have to be patched.  By providing
poppler-compat: a centralized PDF library this duplicated effort will be eliminated.
poppler-compat: This package contains the shared libraries of older releases,
poppler-compat: to be used on slackware-current for compatibility reasons.
