ghostscript-gnu is more stable than ghostscript-esp.

Thus ghostscript-gnu has been made the default, but many arches do not have a
keyword for it yet. Please add a keyword now.

added ~ppc64. keeping us CC'd until stable as a little reminder.

doesn't compile on ppc-macos, build script needs patching for darwin as it
seems.

ghostscript-gnu has been made the default for what?

For ghostscript: virtual/ghostscript

Would you please change the virtual back to ghostscript-esp until this bug is
finished?  Having made ghostscript-gnu the default, you have just introduced
broken dependencies on architectures that used ghostscript-esp in the past. 
And since some architectures don't even have keywords in ghostscript-gnu yet,
it's at least 30 days for them to stablize, assuming they keyword today.

Not true. It was changed to a new-style virtual and all 3 ghostscript
implementations satisfy the virtual. ghostscript-gnu being preferred on archs
where it's keyworded.

Then something appears to have changed in the way virtuals are handled between
when this bug was opened and now (or I haven't found the PEBKAC problem yet) as
portage was dying on me about not having anything to satisfy the virtual
previously even though I had ghostscript-esp installed on the system,

So one thing I've noticed is that ghostscript-esp blocks ghostscript-gnu and
ghostscript-afpl, but ghostscript-gnu does not appear to block ghostscript-esp.
 Probably want this straightened around to be consistent if nothing else.

Yeah, I forgot that, but it is fixed now :)
Should not have been of any harm anyway, because the two others blocked
already.

Added ~sparc keyword.

ghostscript-gnu-8.16-r3 30 days in portage -> stable on ppc64

-esp-8 is becoming more stable, I have changed the default to point to that.

Please mark -esp-8 stable instead of -gnu. Gnu has some bugs, no more need to
keyword -gnu now.
