Will this build against recent past as well as new poppler? I couldn't tell from NEWS. In general some packaging systems are goign to update to Poppler 25.02.00 and some won't have done so yet, especially because poppler tends to break things in general. I know I could read the code, but please consider this a NEWS micro-bug report that a packager can't tell from reading, even though "gdal now requires Poppler 25.0.2.00" is missing from NEWS and thus implies older versions can still be used. (gdal in pkgsrc doesn't build for pdf at all right now, which is on my list to fix, but I suspect if there isn't detect-and-cope it will bite others.) _______________________________________________ gdal-dev mailing list gdal-dev@lists.osgeo.org https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/gdal-dev
