3207	Xpdf Instructions are Incorrect	Randy McMurchy	Randy McMurchy	"Currently the Xpdf package has gaping security holes. I updated the package last (in March of this year) and I cannot believe the instructions are the way they are. The Xpdf author expects each patch level patch to be applied in succession.
Right now Xpdf is at pl5, which means we should be applying pl1, then pl2, then pl3, then pl4, and finally pl5. A total of 5 patches should be applied. The book shows to only download and apply one patch, the latest one. Wrong!
Mea culpa, I know I used to apply them consecutively; however, even my build script only has the installation of 1 patch (pl2). Not sure why my build script is at pl2, the book is at pl3, and I updated the .xml last. Perhaps I just updated the patch level and did not test.
I'll look at the source history and see what is going on. I could have sworn that the instructions used to show to patch using consecutively numbered patches. Oh well. I'll fix it."	defect	closed	high		BOOK	SVN	high	fixed
