I spent the last couple of hours trying to find the release notes and/or source code repository online, without success. Was more lucky the other day?

CHANGES IN V1.0.63

        - foomatic-rip: Added hint to man page that direct, spooler-less mode
          is mainly for testing and debugging (Bug #1253).
        - foomatic-rip: Added a symlink of the filter to the binary executable
          directory (usually /usr/bin), so that LSB compliance test scripts
          work (Bug #1255).
        - cups-browsed: Fixed CUPS Browsing timeouts. Thanks to Tim
          Waugh from Red Hat for the patch (Bug #1252, Red Hat bug

I took this and was going to change the build instructions to include the fixes according to the first recommendations by Bruce:

sed -i 's|globalParams->getAntialias()|0|' \
                                   filter/pdftoopvp/OPVPOutputDev.cxx &&
sed -i '/setAntialias/ s|^|//|'    filter/pdftoopvp/pdftoopvp.cxx     &&
sed -i '/paperColor,/ s|,gFalse||' filter/{pdftoijs,pdftoraster}.cxx  &&

However, it might start another flame, thus, I will go on building this way in my system, but give the ticket back to the book, and take a rest, today.

Forgot to inform that Bruce's is the first published solution.

[Fernando de Oliveira]

The author of the second solution was aware of the problem 4 days before Bruce discussion with me. But only published a solution, after and based on our discussion.

[Armin K]

Author of the *both* solutions (as the seds were also given to Bruce by the same person) only came up with it when he hit the issue himself while maintaining his work. He was waiting for upstrema to fix it as the bug was reported immediately to upstream when the issue was detected.

Replying to fo:

Bruce solution: Tue Feb 10 20:45:53 UTC 2015

Copy: 2015-02-10 20:56 UTC

Next time I have a problem, will keep in secret until it is solved.

Comment (by bdubbs@…):

 Not optimal, but in filter/pdftoopvp/OPVPOutputDev.cxx, there is a line:

  globalParams->getAntialias());

 try changeing it to

 0);

 just to see if it builds.

 Also in filter/pdftoijs.cxx, line

 {{{
  out = new SplashOutputDev(cmode,rowpad/* row padding */,
     reverseVideo,paperColor,gTrue,gFalse);
 }}}

 just remove the last ',gFalse' and use th edefault.

BTW, all emails from the "author" are blocked here. Now, I well add a filter in YB to search headers and message text to block, too. Previous comment by me was the last message having that word which passes.

[Armin K]

You'll see no contributions or reports from me as long as you're part of the project. It isn't a big loss however, as you happen to know about some things better than upstream devs do. And there's no point to report anything, as it'll get ignored as noted above. So the discussion is pointless as it can be. You started it, I'm ending it - bye.
