[Bug 802942] Re: printing PDFs (and other complex documents) from GTK applications fails

[Thomas Mayer]

I guess I know why upstream cairo never made it into Firefox: Mozilla's
version of cairo is more like a fork than a version of cairo with a few
patches applied.

Not only that: Some of the patches are documented in .patch files and a
README. And some are not documented at all with just the change in the
lib's files. E. g. https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-
central/rev/0edb40641826 does not have a .patch file or README entry.

These days, it would make sense to maintain a git branch of cairo with
all the patches applied. Then they would be able to simply merge. And
have a dependency to that branch.
