Tim,
What is the significance of checking for version 0.16 of poppler and not earlier versions?

What is the significance of checking for version 0.16
of poppler and not earlier versions?
IIRC there was a significant API change at that point.
OK. Does that mean the poppler tqt wrapper in tdegraphics does not build when previous versions of poppler are found?
If yes, then what does not function as expected?

No idea, other than the only problem would be a build failure, not a loss of functionality after an apparently successful build :-) I build TDE across a wide range of package versions on the build farm, and have not seen a Poppler related failure in some time.

There were poppler changes at 0.16. The biggest issue is that is the last release that supported Qt3 natively. I don't recall a 0.17, but everything with poppler 0.18 on was built supporting Qt4 only upstream. You couldn't even configure poppler to build Qt3 binding and longer.
I don't know the status at all for TDE. This looks like a package were we will need to bring the last version that supported Qt3 into the GIT tree (may already be there, I'm going from memory).
I used to maintain poppler-qt3 for Arch in AUR and it is no longer buildable from upstream.

I poked the git server at freedesktop.org, where poppler resides, and found what appears to be the series of commits that removed QT3 support (five on Jan. 16, 2011, plus an outlier about a month later). Full diffs for these commits are stored, so depending on how much the codebase has changed in the past year, we may be able to just revert them.

That would be fantastic. I may still have all the older poppler sources (somewhere). I we can just revert the changes in the current code, that would be the best case, but if not, I have the last freedesktop sources before the commits. I'll hunt them down if needed, but I guess you GIT masters could just tell freedesktop to spit the code out as it existed on 1/15/2011.
For my education -- "How do you do that?" Say I wanted to clone the repository as it existed prior to the 1/16/2011 changes, what would the git command look like?

For precise reference, the first QT3-killing commit appears to be
d82f98a274bfa008c218e265a080c4af7ce95131
and I think the commit immediately prior to it was
301352e5585d4ab6e7b609b4ab79b4d8b8656092
on Jan. 9. The other QT3-killing commits were:

I haven't read over the diffs in detail, but they seem to be pure code erasure (many files were removed wholesale, plus some switches in the build code). We might just be okay.

We already have poppler-tqt, based on the Qt3 support for poppler, so I 'm somewhat confused with the interest in the original Qt3 support files for poppler.

Tim,
Is tde/main/tdegraphics/kfile-plugins/dependencies/poppler-tqt it?
