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.

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.

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.
