Changelog
ghostscript (8.60.dfsg.1-0ubuntu1) gutsy; urgency=low
* This is the first Debian/Ubuntu package reflecting Artifex' move to do
the head development of Ghostscript under GPL and the merger of ESP
Ghostscript into GPL Ghostscript which followed after that.
* Renamed from "gs-gpl" to "ghostscript" on agreement with Debian Ghostscript
maintainer Masayuki Hatta
* New upstream release
o SVN snapshot rev 7979, branch "gs-esp-gpl-merger"
o This is the head of the Ghostscript development now. There is no separate
AFPL Ghostscript any more. See http://www.ghostscript.com/awki/News.
o All extra functionality of ESP Ghostscript is merged into GPL
Ghostscript now and the development of ESP Ghostscript is discontinued.
See http://www.cups.org/espgs/.
* debian/control: Added tags and transitional packages to make this package
(ghostscript) replacing gs-esp and gs-afpl (Closes: LP#47432, LP#47458,
LP#75894, LP#83769, LP#103595, LP#105752, LP#108159, LP#109304).
* debian/rules, debian/control, debian/dirs, debian/ghostscript.*,
debian/README.Debian, debian/gs.defoma: Merged in gs-common.
* debian/control: Set Ubuntu maintainer.
* debian/rules: Activated full functionality by appropriate "./configure"
command line options. This is now the one and only Ghostscript in Ubuntu
Linux.
* debian/rules: Do not build static executable, to reduce the build time
to one half of the former build time of gs-esp (or to not double the
build time of ghostscript).
* debian/rules, debian/control: Split package into ghostscript, libgs8,
libgs-dev, and ghostscript-x, like we did with gs-esp, also split off
documentation into ghostcript-doc.
* debian/NEWS: Added info about merger of ESP and GPL Ghostscript
* debian/patches/: Removed 01_gsdir_for_gs-gpl.dpatch,
02_fontpath_for_debian, 20_additional_drivers, 21_additional_drivers_mak,
22_gdi_support, 23_hl12x0_support: They are not needed any more after
merging in the ESP GS functionality and moving to "ghostscript" as
package name.
* debian/patches/09_ijs_krgb_support.dpatch: Updated to version 1.3
of the KRGB patch (from HPLIP 1.7.3).
* debian/patches/04_gdevxini_segv_fix.dpatch: Removed, it makes the X
device being reopened on every page size change and breaks output with
tools like gv (gv hangs without showing any page).
* debian/patches/40_fix_imdi_patch.dpatch: Fixed imdi directory location
in src/devs.mak
* debian/patches/50_gv_kghostview_compatibility.dpatch: Fixed compatibility
with GUIs like gv and kghostview (see upstream bug 689237,
http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=689237, note: reintroduces
upstream bug 687125 but that bug is much less a problem).
* debian/ghostscript.postinst: update-alternatives configuration does not get
correctly updated when the obsolete gs-esp and gs-afpl packages get removed
via the transitional packages. Let the post-install script of the
ghostscript package reset update-alternatives to auto mode for such a case.
