Description Alon Bar-Lev 2009-01-28 22:58:27 UTC

Hello,

app-text/ghostscript-esp is important for users who need support for printers which are unsupported in app-text/ghostscript-gpl.

Is there any reason not to depend on virtual/ghostscript-0?

If the license is an issue, you can add bindist USE flag, and allow this if bindist is unset.

Thanks!

Ghostscript ESP is discontinued and completely merged into Ghostscript GPL. Please only use
Ghostscript GPL, currently version 8.63. I'll mask ESP soon and schedule it for removal.

Thanks.
gpl do support Windows-GDI printers now.
You can announce this in the news letter so people know...
