OK, I thought it was something like that. > About versions, according to this page: > http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1897 the AFPL > version is still on 8.54 while the GNU version is 8.56 Sorry, that looks like the artofcode GPL version, not the GNU version. The artofcode maintainers recently stopped releasing under the AFPL. See http://www.ghostscript.com/awki/Ghostscript GNU Ghostscript is currently on version 8.55 from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/ghostscript/ with a web site at http://www.gnu.org/software/ghostscript/ Please rename the 8.56 recipe and package to artofcode-Ghostscript or GPL-Ghostscript, else we have a name collision on GNU's next release or a version-arms-race.
