Hi, enjoying Bunsenlabs very much. Have had very few issues so I haven't been bothering you guys! I need a PDF viewer for my Windows 7 on this dual boot so I thought why not use evince, same as Bunsen. You people know repositories so am asking this question here. The windows link from their wiki shows version 2.32
https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Evince/Downloads
ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/evince/
I noticed it was an older version than Bunsen so I searched the web and found a newer version, 3.6.1.0
http://download.opensuse.org/repositori … .2/noarch/
It is located in the mingw32-evince-msi-3.6.1-215.1.noarch.rpm archive.
I checked the hashes for both versions and all seems proper, so my question, is it ok to use the newer version?

Of course it's "OK". It might work (if you are OK with converting an rpm package to a deb package), or it might not work due to missing dependencies. The only way to find out is to try it. Let us know (i.e., if it turns out "OK" or not).

I would use the version from GNOME.
Perhaps the "2.32" version number is applied to the Windows installer program rather than evince itself.

Thanks, used the GNOME version, it is 2.32 but does what I needed it to do.
