Poppler is a fork of the xpdf PDF viewer developed by Derek Noonburg of
Glyph and Cog, LLC. There are two reasons for forking xpdf. First, to
provide PDF rendering functionality as a shared library to centralize
the maintenence effort. Today a number of applications incorporate the
xpdf code base and whenever a security issue is discovered, all these
applications exchange patches and put out new releases. In turn, all
distributions must package and release new versions of these xpdf based
viewers. Due to this, there is a lot of duplicated effort. Even if
poppler in the short term introduces yet another xpdf-derived code base
to the world, hopefully, over time these applications will adopt
poppler. After all, only one application needs to use poppler to break
even.

Second, libpoppler intends to move forward in a number of areas that do
not fit within the goals of xpdf. By design, xpdf depends on very few
libraries and runs on a wide range of X-based platforms. This is a
strong feature and reasonable design goal. However, poppler intends to
replace parts of xpdf that are now available as standard components of
modern Unix desktop environments. One such example is fontconfig,
which solves the problem of matching and locating fonts on the system
in a standardized and well understood way. Another example is cairo,
which provides high quality 2D rendering. See the file TODO for a list
of planned changes.

This package consists of encoding files for use with poppler. The
encoding files are optional and poppler will automatically read them if
they are present. When installed, the encoding files enables poppler
to correctly render CJK and Cyrrilic properly. While poppler is
licensed under the GPL, these encoding files are copyright Adobe and
licensed much more strictly, and thus distributed separately.

The shared-color-profiles package contains various profiles which are
useful for programs that are color management aware.

This module allows xrdp to generate sound on a pipewire-based system.

Maintainer

Based on the work of FreeRDP and rdesktop, xrdp uses the remote desktop protocol to present a GUI to the user.

The goal of this project is to provide a fully functional Linux terminal server, capable of accepting connections from rdesktop, freerdp, and Microsoft's own terminal server / remote desktop clients.

This library contains information to build indicators to go into the indicator applet.

Wayland protocols that adds functionality not
available in the Wayland core protocol. Such protocols either adds
completely new functionality, or extends the functionality of some other
protocol either in Wayland core, or some other protocol in
wayland-protocols.

Maintainer

A window manager for the X Window System that can emulate the look of
Windows '95, OS/2 Warp 3, OS/2 Warp 4, and Motif and tries to take the
best features from those systems. IceWM features multiple workspaces,
opaque move and resize, a taskbar, a window list, mailbox status, and a
digital clock. It is fast and small.
