Well, so... what to go w/ this ebuild? Merge ghostscript-afpl w/ gnostscript-gnu? Better ideas? Otherwise, this will get really confusing. ok, the plan is: - mark ghostscript-afpl-8.54-r1 stable, so that I only have to migrate the latest version. - move ghostscript-afpl-8.54-r1 to ghostscript-gpl-8.54-r1 and change the tarball source as well as the license - make ghsotscript-gpl the default for virtual/ghostscript we then have: ghostscript-esp - with special patches for cups support, but old. ghostscript-gnu - made by the GNU people with special GPL patches that cannot be made afpl. Lacking behind a lot lately ghostscript-gpl - the latest -afpl release rereleased under the GPL, this is what would be preferred. (In reply to comment #1) > Well, so... what to go w/ this ebuild?

Anyway, what Stefan suggests (comment #3) is a good idea; ghostscript-afpl should definitely be phased out. Thanks for your quick reply. Stable on amd64, this is the most stable version I have used on my amd64 boxes and it is great to see their move to GPL the source. Stable on amd64 :) ppc stable x86 done ^.^ This is now really fixed :) I moved it to -gpl and changed the license and the default in the virtual, thanks! |
