Tom and Stefan, can you please prepare an ebuild so we can test this before

ghostscript-gnu-8.60.0-r1.ebuild.patch

I'll attach patch's for maintainer and others review. This one is for
ghostscript-gnu. Other ghostscript packages will follow as soon as I test
them...

ghostscript-esp-8.15.4.ebuild.patch

Patch for ghostscript-esp. Includes lot's of quotations fixes.

Created an attachment (id=144561) [details]
ghostscript-gpl-8.61-r2.ebuild.patch

And this is patch for ghostscript-gpl. But note during commit patch itself
should go into  ghostscript-gpl-8.61-patchset-4.tar.bz2. So this patch is for
testing purposes only.

Arch Security Liaisons, please test the attached ebuilds and report stable on
this bug.

Oh, and thanks Peter for preparing the ebuilds and doing some QA on the
existing ones.

Both are good for HPPA.

There is something wrong with the keywords:

> Target keywords : "ppc64 release"

 Especially this one.

Not just that - AFAIK ghostscript-esp is getting dropped somewhere in the
future and this bug doesn't have an attachment that patches a ghostscript-esp
ebuild.

Also odd is that patch to a few ebuilds were posted instead of the new ebuilds
themselves as is common practice.

 It does.  See comment #5.

 Not that bad.

Yes, sorry. I mixed up gpl and gnu.


=app-text/ghostscript-esp-8.15.4-r1

Ok...-gpl and -esp fine on x86, they survived my stress test with different
things on a really huge PostScript file.

Ow, missed that. Sorry.

It's bad when you require seven people to download and apply three patches
individually - it's one more step to perform in testing each of the ebuilds.

Jeroen I didn't knew that and will do next time. Right now I've downloaded 5
patches for shorewall* packages and believe me - patches are not so hard to use
;) Just 2-3 additional commands but they worth it as patch greatly simplify
review. If that's necessary I can attach full ebuilds now.

ghostscript-esp is good for HPPA too.

looks good on ppc ...

looks good on ppc64, too.

ghostscript-gpl-8.61.r2 is good on sparc; the others look good on sparc.  I
also thought ghostscript-esp was either dying or dead, but it does look good. 
Why are we keeping it around?

Looks good for amd64 too.

This is public now. Peter/Printing, can you commit this to the tree with the
stable keywords mentioned here. I can re-cc the missing arches. 

Commited in the tree.

Target keywords left:
=app-text/ghostscript-esp-8.15.4-r1: "release, alpha, arm, ia64, m68k, mips,
s390, sh"
=app-text/ghostscript-gpl-8.61-r3: "release, alpha, arm, ia64, m68k, sh"

Seems that the only reason to keep app-text/ghostscript-esp in the tree is that
mips, s390 and sh still have not keyworded/stabilized
app-text/ghostscript-{gpl,gnu}.

alpha/ia64 stable, Robert, i think i told you to cc me on restricted bugs, i
hate you now! :P

mips is going all ~arch.

Fixed in release snapshot.

Seems ready for GLSA.

Just a note: I committed ghostscript-gpl-8.62 to the tree a few minutes ago
which had the fix applied upstream.
