Name : ghostscript Product : Fedora 18 Version : 9.06 Release : 8.fc18 URL : http://www.ghostscript.com/ Summary : A PostScript interpreter and renderer Description : Ghostscript is a set of software that provides a PostScript interpreter, a set of C procedures (the Ghostscript library, which implements the graphics capabilities in the PostScript language) and an interpreter for Portable Document Format (PDF) files. Ghostscript translates PostScript code into many common, bitmapped formats, like those understood by your printer or screen. Ghostscript is normally used to display PostScript files and to print PostScript files to non-PostScript printers. If you need to display PostScript files or print them to non-PostScript printers, you should install ghostscript. If you install ghostscript, you also need to install the ghostscript-fonts package. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: This update fixes packaging bugs including unowned directories and inclusion of jpegxr source, as well as fixing a pdfwrite segfault and a font handling issue. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Wed Sep 25 2013 Tim Waugh <[email protected]> 9.06-8 - Regenerate tarball (bug #1000387). * Wed Aug 28 2013 Tim Waugh <[email protected]> 9.06-7 - Remove jpegxr to ensure it isn't built (bug #1000387). * Tue Jun 18 2013 Tim Waugh <[email protected]> 9.06-6 - Upstream patch from bug #690692 to handle strange fonts (bug #969660). * Thu May 16 2013 Tim Waugh <[email protected]> 9.06-5 - Upstream patch to fix pdfwrite segfault (bug #962120). * Thu Apr 25 2013 Tim Waugh <[email protected]> - Unowned directories (bug #902525). * Fri Jan 4 2013 Tim Waugh <[email protected]> - 9.06-4 - Updated build requirement from gtk2-devel to gtk3-devel so that gsx gets built using the correct loader (bug #884483). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #902525 - Unowned directory in ghostscript ( /usr/share/ghostscript/9.06/Resource/CIDFont and /usr/share/ghostscript/9.06/Resource/CIDFSubst ) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=902525 [ 2 ] Bug #962120 - [abrt] ghostscript-9.06-4.fc18: pdf_write_FontFile_entry: Process /usr/bin/gs was killed by signal 11 (SIGSEGV) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=962120 [ 3 ] Bug #969660 - Error: /limitcheck in /findfont for any files that requires the standard 13 fonts. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=969660 [ 4 ] Bug #1000387 - Incorrect license tag and included unclear licensed code https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1000387 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
