The new gnu-gs version is out, find a new ebuild attached. Lot of patches removed because already incorporated upstream. It's based on ghostscript-gpl-8.54 with a lot of enhancements notably in the configure part. Thanks to test it.

Are you sure it is on mirror://sourceforge/ghostscript/ ? How did you create this ebuild? Why is everything src/Make.. replaced with Make..? Did you check every single patch before uncommenting it?
Mhh sorry for the mirror, this ebuild is based on ghostscript-gpl-8.54 and I forgot to change this line :-/ this line is the good one : ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/ghostscript/${MY_P}.tar.bz2 the old src/Make.. is no longer in the package because the files Make... and src/Make... are the same, I've removed the src/Make... one for simplicity. The patch removed are incorporated in the 8.55 release.

Really maintaining two totally different ebuilds is not easier for me. I have committed this to the tree. Btw are there any plans to merge -esp -gnu and -gpl? Now that they are all GPL it would make sense to merge at least two of them. Was already happy that I could get rid of -gnu but looks like that is not the case :(
