I don't think there was any such problem until poppler maintainers |
| 18 |
decided to unsplit poppler into one big packages with USE flags again |
| 19 |
instead of the nice split poppler, poppler-glib (that should have been |
| 20 |
named poppler-cairo probably instead), poppler-qt3, poppler-qt4 and |
| 21 |
poppler-utils. |
| 22 |
I don't believe we should selectively cripple one GUI toolkit with not |
| 23 |
having proper printing support out of the box on a desktop profile, |
| 24 |
while others do, just because maintainers are lazy. |
