#27887: svg2pdf update -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Reporter: ejtttje@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: update | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Keywords: haspatch | Port: svg2pdf -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Comment(by ejtttje@…): The svg2pdf author replied to me, and declined to provide a dedicated svg2pdf package because it turns out there is already a 'rsvg-convert' tool bundled with librsvg. I confirmed this is already available in MacPorts, and produces byte-identical output to the svg2pdf update I attached above, but also accepts additional arguments for controlling zoom, background, etc. Considering rsvg-convert is a supported tool of the main librsvg library, it clearly seems to be the preferable route vs. this unmaintained version. So, I see two options: a. Convert this svg2pdf port to a dependance on librsvg with a simple wrapper script, e.g.: {{{ #!/bin/sh if [ $# -lt 2 -o "$1" = "-h" -o "$1" = "--help" ] ; then echo "FAIL: usage: $0 input_file.svg output_file.pdf" exit 255; fi rsvg-convert -f pdf -o "$2" "$1" }}} b. Remove this port, perhaps with some kind of reference or alias to librsvg's tool (I don't think MacPorts has such a thing?) -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/27887#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
