Description:   Opened: 2007-10-28 23:11 0000 
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.

Sparc stable (I have been using this for some time because of dvitopdf
problems).

amd64 done; been using it for a while too.

Stable for HPPA.

------- Comment #5 From Christian Faulhammer 2007-11-01 13:15:21 0000 ------- 
x86 stable

ppc stable

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.

added ~ppc64. let me use this a few days before I mark it stable.

------- Comment #10 From Markus Rothe 2007-11-10 21:39:26 0000 ------- 
ppc64 stable

arm/m68k/s390/sh done, mips doesn't have this even keyworded so NFC what are
they doing here.

FIXED.
