That feature has been *SO* helpful in my personal life as well as the professional, and I find the "replacement offerings" I've tried don't seem to have anything close to it.<br /><br />And, like Peter above, I have also known xpdf from my early days of linux, back to '96. So, another one of the original apps that allowed us to walk away from windoze without looking back has also gone by the wayside. :-/<br /><br />Kind of a shame, but as Dennis Miller loves to point out:<br />"...

In fact, Life is like riding the bus; It *requires* change!"ShadowCat8https://www.blogger.com/profile/02343069712545408235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7849507270164967036.post-23586799149127230512012-02-06T01:52:09.244+01:002012-02-06T01:52:09.244+01:00Meanwhile I'm screaming: what about my preciou...Meanwhile I'm screaming: what about my precious compiz-fusion that's leaving portage? =[Giovanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09427940124032708866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7849507270164967036.post-40469459831585835982012-02-03T11:31:35.700+01:002012-02-03T11:31:35.700+01:00Feels weird to have xpdf gone from the tree..

When I started using Gentoo in 2002 (my first Linux distro) xpdf was one of the applications you just NEEDED and that almost worked well enough, compared to the Windows equivalent. Feels like cleaning out the attic and finding letters from your old girlfriend ;)<br /><br />A suggestion though, perhaps you should recommend an alternative that isn't unmaintained in the package.mask text?Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01510314340010932116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7849507270164967036.post-56945328876565562772012-02-02T23:49:09.147+01:002012-02-02T23:49:09.147+01:00Many people fail to realize that just because a pa...Many people fail to realize that just because a package is removed, you can still access it in the Attic and add it to your personal overlay. http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/treecleaners/#doc_chap7Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
