Description Alan Mackenzie 2011-05-10 13:09:24 UTC
apsfilter is masked (missing keyword) for amd64.

I downloaded apsfilter-7.2.8 from http://www.apsfilter.org[*], installed it into /usr/local/bin, connected it up to ghostscript and LPRng, and it simply worked, without any problems, on my amd64 Gentoo box.  I have no reason to doubt 7.2.6 would work just as well (modulo improvement between the releases).

[*] Lacking the courage to use a masked package.

The documentation and setup for apsfilter is simply gorgeous.  Could you please unmask apsfilter for amd64.  Thanks!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download and install apsfilter.  Configure it to talk to ghostscript.  Hook it up to a print spooler (e.g. LPRng)
2. lpr filename.pdf.
3. Execute a print operation from within, e.g., Firefox.
Actual Results:  
All print operations print as desired.

Expected Results:  
As above

Done, thanks. (Version 7.2.7. Given the difference between 7.2.7 and 7.2.8 I kind of refuse that one... :)
