Description nzqr 2012-05-07 06:43:26 UTC 
ghostscript-gpl which evince pulls through libspectre dep for postscript support is pretty huge, yet useless for me. So ability to disable postscript support would be nice; and patch is attached.

Reproducible: Always

Good point, fixed in cvs. I thought it was better to use "ps" as the name of the USE flag to match kde-base/okular. The flag is enabled by default to match evince's former behavior out of the box, and because postscript files are still quite frequently used in Linux.
