Description:   Opened: 2006-09-02 11:30 0000 
I'd like to see gl2ps support added to VTK.  This would enable a feature in
mayavi (bug #50464) and also allow vtk users to generate postscript, pdf, svg
output.

I will attach a patch for the ebuild.

The only concern I have with this is that gl2ps, although distributed with the
vtk sources, is under a different license.  VTK is BSD and gl2ps seems to be
either LGPL-2 or GL2PS.  So I suppose the license in the VTK ebuild would have
to change to LICENSE="BSD LGPL-2".  Is that a problem?  I could add a local use
flag and when vtk is built with -gl2ps it would be BSD licenses...?

It looks like the gl2ps flag has been enabled in the 5.0.3 version ebuild, and
this bug can be closed.

Great thanks for pointing that out!  I think my comments re: license are still
valid (the gl2ps is GPL not BSD so now should the LICENSE="BSD" change to
LICENSE="BSD GPL-2").  However, I'll close it fixed for now.

Hi Colin,

AFAICT gl2ps is LGPL-2 (not GPL-2), so we should probably
change the license to LICENSE="BSD LGPL-2".

Best,
Markus

You're right, seems my original comment said that too.

------- Comment #6 From Markus Dittrich 2007-08-01 13:03:03 0000 ------- 
I just added LGPL-2 to LICENSE in the ebuild.

Thanks,
Markus
