I'm actually guilty for not being active enough in poking pdfmod lately, but I've my own reasons, exams, assignments and all. Regarding the packaging bit, actually Pdfmod bundles two libraries, i.e. pdf-sharp, and poppler-sharp. I've managed to get poppler-sharp autotoolized and released, so the next step would be to package both poppler-sharp and pdf-sharp. PdfSharp is the most nightmarish package I've ever considered packaging so far, so I hope you understand my hesitation/procrastination as I need to keep my sanity in check at least until this semester (hey I'm a student) is over. As for your other question about the bzr branch/project creation... if Gabriel has nothing to say against it, go ahead and create it. Also, add yourself to the team, and have either Gabriel or myself approve you. :-) -- Kind regards, Chow Loong Jin
