Comment:

 Replying to [comment:1 dsd]:
 > After that, it works fine, although I would question the way you have
 put libevbackend.so in the -python subpackage (shouldn't it go in sugar-
 evince)?

 Sounds like a screw up on my side. It should clearly not be in the -python
 package.

 > I tested all this against poppler-0.8.7-1.fc9. The loading speed of PDFs
 seems identical (tested with world maps bundle) but the progressive re-
 rendering on zooming in seems a bit faster (and end result is crisper?).

 What about memory usage?

 > Final question, why did you choose 2.23? We are still on GNOME 2.22
 technology, so perhaps we should stick to 2.22. Or we could upgrade to
 2.24 just for the sugar-evince part (assuming there are no dependency
 problems)?

 Good question, I don't remember exactly. If there are no deps problems I
 suggest to switch to 2.24, since we will upgrade to F10 for 9.1.
 Otherwise, yeah, 2.22 sounds fine (hopefully you will not have to tweak
 the patches too much).

 > Are you happy for me to carry on with this effort? I would switch
 version (if necessary), make the above spec file changes, tag
 poppler-0.8.7-1.fc9 for dist-olpc3 and commit the new sugar-evince
 package.

 Absolutely. And I thanks god to have sent you back!!

 Btw, I don't know if you feel like helping with it, but we should get
 these patches upstream at some point. Ccing sayamindu, he expressed
 interest into doing that at some point.
