https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=204696 Bug ID: 204696 Summary: graphics/xpdf: pdfinfo and friends not in exec path. Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: cy@FreeBSD.org Reporter: graudeejs@inbox.lv Flags: maintainer-feedback?(cy@FreeBSD.org) Assignee: cy@FreeBSD.org There are couple of very useful utilities that comes with xpdf such as * pdfinfo * pdftohtml * pdftopng etc However these are installed in /usr/local/libexec/xpdf/ thus are not executable by default, because they are not in any of standard execution paths. In fact /usr/local/bin/xpdf is link to /usr/local/libexec/xpdf/xpdf. Manuals for these utilities are available (i.e. man pdfinfo). I think this is quite confusing. I really needed pdfinfo but couldn't find it until I looked at xpdf ports pkg-plist. Why don't these utils deserve link in /usr/local/bin/ ? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
