  • [gentoo-dev] Package up for grabs: app-misc/pdfpc

    From Nils Freydank@21:1/5 to All on Wed Dec 15 19:20:02 2021
    Hi everyone,

    pdfpc is a nice presentation tool to show PDFs and a presenter screen with notes etc[1].

    With version 4.5.0 upstream startet to use webkit-gtk and has no intention
    to make this optional[2]. I use a Qt-based desktop, have no interest to build another browser engine for a single tool and didn't use pdfpc in over a year (only tested it to verify that it's still working). Therefor I step down as it's proxied maintainer.

    The only open bug right now is a stabilization request[3]. Releases are not often (in the order of one or two per year).

    [2] https://github.com/pdfpc/pdfpc/issues/62
    [3] https://bugs.gentoo.org/828333

    Kind regards,
    Nils

    I am actively using this. So, I'll take it unless someone else wants to maintain it. (Co-maintainers are also welcome.)
