does this version match our ghostscript-libre? we had gnu-gs version 8 but with the change on arch to gs 9 (or a version change that changed apis) many packages broke. when i asked the gnu-gs developers for an update they answered "any time during the year". it took more than that i think... i mean they need help. if someone could commit to follow gs updates on gnu-gs properly we could keep gnu-gs instead. take in mind many recommendations from the libreplanet list are meant for the debian pace and we're going much faster :P (for instance some unfree versions of packages were upgraded long time ago by arch devs themselves) -- D
