Questions regarding poppler-qt5 #74

Closed ghost closed 6 years ago

ghost commented 6 years ago
  1. In README.md, poppler-qt5 and python-poppler-qt5 are listed as optional. Which function(s) depend(s) on these two? Are they used for opening / rendering PDF files?
  2. Could you please change the PKGBUILDs of the AUR packages lector and lector-git such that poppler-qt5 and python-poppler-qt5 become optional dependencies? The current PKGBUILDs define these two as compulsory dependencies.

Yes. poppler is the rendering library, python-poppler-qt5 provides the python bindings. They're optional in the sense that the program will continue to work without them. I've purposely included them in the depends list in the PKGBUILD because it reduces hassle since any AUR helper will also install python-poppler-qt5.
