Not worth fixing, IMO... It's oudated like hell and ghostscript-gpl (the relicensed ghostscript-afpl) seems like a better alternative. Ok, will have a look at this one then. What about changing the default setting for the virtual then ? (In reply to comment #2) > What about changing the default setting for the virtual then ? > Already done. sorry for the noise then, I'll report back (maybe another bug report) for ghostscript-gpl ok checked ghostscript-gpl and the configure.ac is quiet the same. If I came up with a fix, it should be applicable to both Created attachment 90743 [details, diff]
ghostscript-gpl-8.54.ebuild.patch
Proposed patch to the ebuild.
An important point I would like feedback on is the automatic removal of some libs provided by the package but already present in gentoo. As the package puts its internal libs at a higher priority than those on the system, I simply removed them, but I added and option to get the one we prefer to the configure script (patch to follow), just in case.

ghostscript-gpl-8.54-configure.patch
patch to enable some configure switches and add capability to select system or local libs.
Hi, can you please submit your patch upstream to the http://bugs.ghostscript.com/ and reference the bug here? Thanks I do not think this is high-priority so we can probably wait for upstream to apply the patch and release it bug filed at http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=688777 closing as upstream. Will get into Gentoo with a new upstream release |
