No support for Pdf417 ===================== Upstream version 0.3.2 of libbarby-ruby includes support for PDF417, a stacked linear barcode symbol format used in a variety of applications, primarily transport, identification cards, and inventory management. However, this functionality is provided as a Java class, and requires being run on JRuby -- Which is not currently available in Debian, so the Pdf417 functionality was removed from the package. -- Gunnar Wolf , Fri, 7 May 2010 12:20:30 -0500
