Due to change of Artifex' license policy to do the head development of
Ghostscript under GPL and the merger of the extra functionality of ESP
Ghostscript (ESP Ghostscript is discontinued now), the packages gs-esp
and gs-afpl got obsolete. They are both replaced by gs-gpl, version 8.60
or newer. I have already done a first test package:
For Gutsy download all packages from
http://www.linux-
foundation.org/~till/tmp/ubuntu/gutsy/ghostscript/binary/
and do
sudo dpkg -i *gs-esp*.deb *gs-afpl*.deb *gs-gpl*.deb
to replace your ESP and AFPL Ghostscript by the new merged GPL
Ghostscript.
If you are running Feisty or older download the files from
http://www.linux-foundation.org/~till/tmp/ubuntu/gutsy/ghostscript/
into the same directory. Then do
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get build-dep gs-esp gs-gpl
dpkg-source -x ghostscript_8.60.dfsg.1-0ubuntu1.dsc
cd ghostscript-8.60.dfsg.1
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
cd ..
sudo dpkg -i *gs-esp*.deb *gs-afpl*.deb *gs-gpl*.deb *ghostscript*.deb
Answer every question which appears with "y", so that all needed
packages get installed.
Or try the distribution-independent binary package from
http://www.openprinting.org/download/printing/esp-gpl-ghostscript-
merge/README
The new grand unified GPL Ghostscript will make it into Ubuntu soon,
after
- Agreeing on the name with Debian: "gs-gpl" or simply "gs"
- Adding the C header files to libgs-gpl-dev
- Fixing upstream bug 689237: http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=689237
Please tell us your results with the test packages.
