The main reason I favour the availability of a canned package (be it source or binary based), is because the tools can easily tell me when updates are available, and just how far out of date I am. --> As opposed to doing it manually or "when only strictly necessary", in which case I'd use CentOS RPMs.
When I need something, I usually make a package for the OS I'm using, or I install it by hand. I've got a number of things installed into ~/Software.

For those experimenting with mupdf, a security issue in it has been discovered:

mupdf works pretty well. Thanks for that tip
Too bad it doesn't support bookmarks/indexes. That's a must-have feature imho.

mupdf is pretty 'dump', its good for text only PDF files, because with documents with large dose of images or even entirely scanned books its painfully slow to skip to next page.

PDF readers are often slow for some reason, unless it's just my mixture of cheap and aging hardware. Reason I utilize evince, it performs better on my laptop than others I tried.

“update mupdf … to 0.8.15. various improvements and fixes, notably now supports AESv3 encrypted PDFs and, very welcome, search now operates over all pages and is thus actually useful.” [1] Also fixed a memory leak from the previous version. Still got a little bit to go before prime‐time, but I like what I see.

The developers of mupdf really intend for it to be used as a library in more full featured readers, I believe the latest version supports a little more than poppler/xpdf now.
A bonus is the fact that it's entirely unrelated to both beyond being an implementation of PDF. It's a good thing. |

But what of mg users who abhor the bloat that is emacs? No joy for them, I guess. Maybe they will want my adaptation of poppler that, in the spirit of minimalism, uses the user interface of ed. You'll be pleased to know it's written in C. Sadly, perhaps from emacs's influence on me, it's bloated with a scripting language, however. On the other hand, also in the spirit of minimalism, that scripting language is forth. |
