Hi,
i'm working on an update to ghostscript-9.02 (kind of emergency
update, because ajacoutot@ wants to print some google maps, which
currently causes ghostscript to segfault when called from pdf2ps).
The good news: ghostscript-9.02 fixes the problem.
The bad news: the pstoraster shell script is gone, now we have
gstoraster, which is compiled and linked from gstoraster.c and
depends on libcups. But ghostscript must not depend on cups (we had
a circular dependency some years ago, and after a suggestion from
bernd@ i changed ghostscript's cups driver to dlopen(3) libcups to
break the circle).
Two questions:
1. I forgot which ports where involved in the circular dependencies
(it wasn't a direct cups <-> ghostscript tie); does anyone remember?
2. If I put the new gstoraster program into a subpackage, depending on
cups and ghostscript (-main), would this be a problem?
Ciao,
Kili
