Here's an ebuild of the Hewlett Packard inkjet server to go with the ghostscript patch I submitted on Monday. HPIJS acts as an interface between ghostscript and the printer and produces much higher quality output than gimp-print. It is now also 'open' ;-) To use it people will need to emerge ghostscript separately - It's not a dependency but it's useless without it then get the .ppd and cupsomatic scripts from linuxprinting.org.
Created attachment 149 [details] Ebuild script for hpijs-1.0.2 I've put this in net-print/hpijs but app-text/hpijs may also be suitable The digest will follow shortly...
Created attachment 150 [details] The digest file.... The digest to go with the ebuild...I remembered it this time!!!
ok, looks pretty good for a first submission. but i have some complaints ;-) if its useless to use it without ghostscript, then please put ghostscript as an RDEPEND (a runtime dependency, not a build-time dependency). next, you mention the ppd files and cupsomatic scripts, but you make no message in pkg_postinst() about that! so this is pretty selfish ebuild if you ask me, please make your submissions applicable to ALL GENTOO USERS MAN, NOT JUST YOURSELF! i suggest you fetch and install those relevant pieces in your ebuild or come up with something a little more smart. Im not committing this for those reasons. sorry. fix it up, and try again ;-) no slight intended, i just want your submission to be a little better ;)
