Description Martin Bailey 2007-10-28 23:11:49 UTC 
The foomatic-rip filter failed every time I tried to print a test page from CUPS. Dumping the debug output to /tmp/foomatic-rip.log revealed that gs was dying from a segmentation fault when sending the test page to the device using the Canon S500 driver. Upgrading to the highly recommended (but still ~x86) app-test/ghostscript-gpl-8.60 fixes all issues. I suggest moving the 8.60 version to stable.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Canon S500 CUPS driver.
2. Print a test page.

I also added the arches who have ghostscript-esp stable, because that will be deprecated in favour of -gpl who has the patches from -esp merged.
Comment 2 Ferris McCormick (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-10-29 17:15:58 UTC 
Sparc stable (I have been using this for some time because of dvitopdf problems).
Comment 3 Daniel Gryniewicz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-10-29 18:10:02 UTC 
amd64 done; been using it for a while too.
Comment 4 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-10-31 03:38:25 UTC 
Stable for HPPA.
Comment 5 Christian Faulhammer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-11-01 13:15:21 UTC 
x86 stable
Comment 6 Lars Weiler (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-11-02 23:47:45 UTC 
ppc stable
Comment 7 Robert Buchholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-11-03 12:08:49 UTC 
app-text/ghostscript-gpl-8.60 is vulnerable to security bug #196860.

The new arches on this bug should stabilize 8.60-r1. All those that have 8.60 (or prior) stable are handled on the other bug.
Comment 8 Raúl Porcel (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-11-03 17:54:32 UTC 
alpha/ia64 stable
Comment 9 Markus Rothe (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-11-06 17:18:54 UTC 
added ~ppc64. let me use this a few days before I mark it stable.
Comment 10 Markus Rothe (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-11-10 21:39:26 UTC 
ppc64 stable
Comment 11 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-12-11 11:51:14 UTC 
arm/m68k/s390/sh done, mips doesn't have this even keyworded so NFC what are they doing here.

FIXED.
