library package depend on it: they are needed by library calls (not
only by executables):
+ Install /usr/share/ghostscript/* into libgs9-common.
+ Install empty dir var/lib/ghostscript/CMap into libgs9-common (as
well as into ghostscript where install scripts depend on it) as it

other-sa-Autoconf", and add new license section other-sa-Autoconf.
+ Fix change license "GPL-2+ with Libtool exception" to "GPL-2+ or
other-sa-Libtool", and add new license section other-sa-Libtool.
+ Extend license section GPL-2+ to cover more variants (reducing
verbatim copies by documenting file/program/library variations).
+ Change GPL license sections to refer to FSF website (as in
py-compile, not postal address as common in other (older?) cases).
Place the website reference below Debian-specific reference to
actual license file, to slightly emphasize that it is a local edit
(not copied verbatim from an upstream file).

Really really closes: bug#533771, thanks to Mattias Ellert.
* Keep urgency=high - still contains security-related urgently needed
for testing.

those symbols aren't simply tied to little-endian archs after all).
Closes: bug#533771, thanks to Kurt Roeckx.
* Set urgency=high as above affects only build-routines (not actual
contents of built binaries), no other release blockers occured for 9
days, and older releases contain security-related bugfixes.
* Fix ghostscript-cups versioned dependencies.
* Rerelease for unstable.

* debian/libgs8.shlibs: Removed. All libgs8 versions should have the same
API and ABI. The artificial restriction set by this file required all
reverse dependencies to be rebuilt for every stable release of Ghostscript.
* debian/patches/35_disable_libcairo.dpatch: Added possibility to
compile Ghostscript without the "cairo" output device. The device
is still in experimental state and with its dependency on libcairo
it pulls in a dependency on X.

output device.
* debian/patches/38_pxl-duplex.dpatch: The Duplex option of the "pxlmono"
and "pxlcolor" drivers did not work.

Fixed several bugs in the "cups" (CUPS Raster) output device:
- Ghostscript crashed with PDF input data
- The "Duplex" and "MediaWeight" options were ignored
- There was uninitialized memory and wrong usage of pointers, potential
cause for segmentation faults or even vulnerabilities
- There were mismatches in data types, leading to possible breakage
of the "AdvanceDistance", "MediaWeight", and "cupsStringXX" options.
(Upstream bug #690101).
* debian/local/pdftoraster/pdftoraster.c,
debian/local/pdftoraster/pdftoraster.convs, debian/rules: Added pdftoraster
filter from the Ghostscript SVN repository - closes: #505282
* debian/patches/50_lips4-floating-point-exception: Fixed floating-point
exception in "lips4" and other drivers (Upstream bug #690122).
* debian/patches/52_cups-device-logging.dpatch: Made logging of the "cups"
output device much less verbose. The log of one jub in debug mode did not
fit into the maximum log file size of CUPS.
* debian/patches/55_pcl-input-slot-fix.dpatch: Made the paper tray selection
via "-dMediaPosition=..." in the PCL 4/5/5e drivers work (Upstream bug
#690182).
* debian/patches/57_pxl-input-slot-fix.dpatch: Made the paper tray selection
via "-dMediaPosition=..." in the PCL 6/XL drivers work.
* debian/patches/60_pxl-cups-driver-pdf.dpatch: Made the PCL-XL CUPS filter
and PPDs work with PDF input.
* debian/patches/62_onebitcmyk-pdf.dpatch: Check the whole Decode array to
detect special cases of identity and inverse decoding in PDF files
(Upstream bug #690178).
* debian/ghostscript.postinst: Added automatic update of the PPD files
of already existing print queues.
* debian/ghostscript.postinst: Do not try to update the PPDs of existing
print queues if CUPS is not installed or not running.
* debian/patches/60_pxl-cups-driver-pdf.dpatch: The pstopxl filter did not
remove its temporary file after finishing.
* debian/patches/65_too-big-temp-files-1.dpatch: Ghostscript produced much
too big temporary files (> 10 GB) when printing photos from GNOME apps in
1200 dpi. Part 1 of the fix which reduces the temp file size to less than
2 GB (Upstream bug #690133).
* debian/patches/67_too-big-temp-files-2.dpatch: Complete fix for the too big
temporary files. Now the bug is completely fixed. Temp files are not much
bigger than the jobs themselves now (Upstream bug #690133).
* debian/patches/70_take-into-account-data-in-stream-buffer-before-refill.dpatch:
Certain files lead to a Ghostscript error due to wrong handling of the
stream buffer (Upstream bug #690090).
* Non-maintainer upload.
* Make ghostscript depend on gs-common to prevent removal.
Drop gs-common -> ghostscript-x dependency to not force the
X version on all users. Hopefully Closes: #503712.
* Non-maintainer upload.
* Add (empty) gs-common.prerm to enable upgrades
etch->lenny to succeed when the old gs-common.prerm
fails. Closes: #495703.

hppa (and probably errors on other architectures as well).
Closes: #453903.
* ghostscript: Tighten up versioned dependency on libgs8
- closes: #470253

to make sure gs symlinks are removed before the new ghostscript
package is installed - closes: #449173
* New upstream release.
* Removed Resource/Font for a minor licensing problem.
I'm now contacting the upstream, so they might be back soon.
* Fixed in the upstream - closes: #418706

[Till Kamppeter]
* debian/patches/09_ijs_krgb_support.dpatch: Adapted to upstream changes.
* debian/rules: Updated CUPS-related variables for "make install" calls.
* debian/rules: Remove /usr/include/ghostscript from the ghostscript
package, they go into libgs-dev.
* debian/patches/40_cups_filters_with_buffered_input.dpatch: Modified
cups/psto* filters to let Ghostscript always use buffered input. This
works around a Ghostscript bug which prevents printing encrypted PDF
files with Adobe Reader 8.1.1 and Ghostscript built as shared library
(Ghostscript bug #689577, Ubuntu bug LP: #172264)
* debian/patches/42_print_encrypted_PDFs_from_adobe_reader_8.dpatch:
Fixed printing of encrypted PDF files from Adobe Reader 8.1.1. This
is the real fix now and not only a workaround. (Ghostscript bug
#689577, Ubuntu bug LP: #172264).
* Maintainer upload.
* Acknowledged NMU, thanks Cyril - closes: #422723, #430337
* 06_libpaper_support.dpatch: fixed to cope with being called repeatedly. Thanks Carlos Garcia Campos - closes: #453048
* debian/watch: Now it works. Thanks Raphael Geissert - closes: #449310
* Non-maintainer upload.
* Fix long-standing implicit pointer conversions by backporting a fix from
SVN revision 8232, as pointed by Dann Frazier (Closes: #422723):
- 40_implicit_pointer_conversion_fix.dpatch added for this purpose. It
also contains an additional tweak for src/gpmisc.c so that no attempt
to use fdopen64() is made, fdopen() is the way to go. That tweak also
solves the FTBFS on GNU/kFreeBSD (Closes: #430337).
- DEB_AUTO_UPDATE_AUTOCONF set to “yes” in debian/rules so that the
configure script gets updated at build time (the needed build
dependencies are already there).
* Maintainer upload, acknowledged NMU - closes: #447188
* Made all dummy packages depend on ghostscript AND ghostscript-x, so
their nominal "functionality" should virtually be the equivalent to
the former gs|gs-gpl|gs-esp|gs-afpl packages - closes: #446825
* Revised debian/copyright - closes: #444468, #444467
* debian/rules: Clean files from package ghostscript which are moved to
ghostscript-doc on i386 (where arch-all packages are built). On all
non-i386 platforms the files remained in the main package, which
causes file conflicts and unnecessary package growth - closes: #446927
(fix from Ubuntu)
* debian/patches/06_libpaper_support.dpatch: Added missing "#include
<paper.h>", this made Ghostscript not working at all on IA64 - closes:
#428055 (fix from Ubuntu)
* Non-maintainer upload by testing security team.
* Included 31-CVE-2007-2721.dpatch to fix remote
user-assisted denial of service via malformed image
files in embedded copy of jasper (Closes: #447188)
* New upstream release - closes: #437848, #291452
* Important CJK handling fixes are absent from the current 8.60 or SVN, so I
decided to use this SVN snapshots until the issue is fixed (Ubuntu does the same).
* Can be built with the modern GCC now - closes: #440427
* Complete re-organization: gs-gpl, gs-esp and gs-afpl are discontinued and
gone altogether, and now there's only one ghostscript package - closes: #52603, #159516, #434791, #394628, #394350, #295377, #246983, #416253, #323867
* Imported Ubuntu's various improvements on packaging.
Thanks for Ubuntu people, especially Till Kamppeter.
* Sorted out dummy packages - closes: #321989, #401137
* Separated -doc package - closes: #138549, #391082, #389872
* Separated -x package, the main ghostscrpt doesn't depend X anymore - cloese: #76814, #393980, #240215
* Separated libgs* packages - closes: #344351
* Enabled cdj880 driver - closes: #157067
* Enabled Lexmark 3200 driver - closes: #157067
* Enabled pcl3 driver - closes: #259075
* Added /usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts to fontpath - closes: #434310
* Sorted out licensing information.
* Removed jasper/doc/*.pdf since those are shipped without
"transparent" copies a la GFDL.
* debian/rules: Clean /usr/share/doc/*.html files from package
'ghostscript', too (incomplete fix in previous versions), since they are
already shipped in ghostscript-doc and thus have a file conflict.
(LP: #153218)
[ Till Kamppeter ]
* debian/rules: Install missing *.upp files (usptream bug, LP: #150985).
[ Martin Pitt ]
* debian/rules: Clean files from package ghostscript which are moved to
ghostscript-doc on i386 (where arch-all packages are built). On all
non-i386 platforms the files remained in the main package, which causes
file conflicts and unnecessary package growth. This is a quick hack for
Gutsy. In Hardy, this horribly broken build system should be fixed
properly.
* debian/patches/06_libpaper_support.dpatch: Added missing
"#include <paper.h>", this made Ghostscript not working at all
on IA64 (Fixes LP: #130842, thanks to Ralph Giles from ghostscript.com
for the fix and to Matthias Klose for the IA64 test machine).
* debian/ghostscript.links: Bumped version number in link for CJK fonts
(Fixes LP: #139911).
* New upstream release
o SVN snapshot rev 8187
o CJK patches from Koji Otani to fix several issues with CJK text
(should fix http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=689304).
These patches were also applied to ESP Ghostscript and having them
in Gutsy's GPL GS will avoide regressions against Feisty's ESP GS.
o Minor bug fixes from upstream.
* debian/patches/30_assorted_script_fixes.dpatch: Back out the update
to pdf2eps, causing build failures on the buildds.
* debian/control: Build-depend on freeglut3-dev | libglut-dev.
* Final release of Ghostscript 8.60
o First official release of GPL Ghostscript with merged functionality
of ESP Ghostscript.
o Closes: LP: #128801
* debian/patches/50_gv_kghostview_compatibility.dpatch: Removed workaround,
real fix done upstream
* New upstream release
o SVN snapshot rev 8127
o Carried over some bug fixes from ESP Ghostscript (see
http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=689315)
o Minor bug fixes from upstream.
* debian/patches/30_assorted_script_fixes.dpatch: Updated.
* New upstream release
o SVN snapshot rev 8050
o From now on we take snapshots from the trunk, as the merger of ESP and
GPL Ghostscript is completed and moved into the trunk. The branch
"gs-esp-gpl-merger" has been removed.
o Minor bug fixes from upstream.
* debian/patches/50_gv_kghostview_compatibility.dpatch: Updated.
* debian/control:
+ Make gsfonts a Depends instead of Recommends as it was before on the
gs-common package. This fixes the GStreamer build failure.
* New upstream release
o SVN snapshot rev 8025, branch "gs-esp-gpl-merger"
o Minor bug fixes from upstream.
* debian/rules: Renamed executable /usr/bin/gsc to /usr/bin/gs to not
conflict with the gambc package (Fixes LP: #118785).
* debian/ghostscript.preinst:
- Only remove the gs alternatives on upgrades from before
8.60.dfsg.2-0ubuntu1, and don't let the lack of alternatives fail
installation.
- Remove "rm -rf /etc/ghostscript /etc/gs-gpl" insanity.
* New upstream release
o SVN snapshot rev 7997, branch "gs-esp-gpl-merger"
o Added functionality to compile with shared libgs and without GTK
via "--disable-gtk" configure option (feature overtaken from ESP
Ghostscript).
o Minor bug fixes from upstream.
* debian/patches/40_fix_imdi_patch.dpatch: Removed, fixed upstream.
* debian/rules: Added forgotten option "--disable-gtk" to the "./configure"
command line, this prevented ghostscript from building on the build
servers.
* Added missing version number to "Conflicts: gs-common" in the ghostscript
package.
* Do away with the update-alternatives, we have one grand unified Ghostscript
now!
* 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.
* New upstream release.
* man/gs.1: Paths are adjusted to Debian - closes: #405049
* man/gs.1: Fixed various typos - closes: #323534
* Fixed insecure /tmp usage in toolbin scripts (CAN-2005-2352) - closes: #291373
* Now opdfread.ps is installed - closes: #401755
* Oops, I forgot to apply dpatch #20, so the large amount of drivers are missing in -4. Mea Culpa.
* Added Brother HL-1240/1250 support - closes: #280693
* Make sure /etc/gs-gpl is removed - closes: #333474
* Remove Fontmap and Fontmap.GS from the package - closes: #325400

* Brought back KRGB colorspace support to ijs - closes: #355616
* Brought back Samsung GDI support - closes: #365337
* gs depends on gs-gpl | gs-esp - closes: #297024
* rules, gs-gpl.links: s/8.15/8.54/g.
* Supports big post table for CMap - closes: #205055
* Fixed a potential segv problem in src/gdevxini.c, thanks Ian Jackson for providing a patch - closes: #254206
* Made qsort call in src/gxfcopy.c 64-bit clean, thanks Andreas - closes: #390875
* New upstream release - closes: #373805
* Acknowledged NMUs, since crash on ppc has been fixed in the upstream - closes: #357326, #327288, #324796
* Non-maintainer upload.
* debian/patches/00list: Re-enable patch 10_powerpc_crash_fix; upstream
delayed to fix after the 8.50 release. Cures segfaults on ppc (again).
Thanks to Roger Leigh for testing. Closes: #357326
* Works done at Codefest in Malaysia 2006.
* New upstream release - closes: #347637, #348834
* Updated debian/watch - closes: #354352
* Bumped to Standards-Version: 3.6.2.2 (no physical changes).
* Non-maintainer upload.
* Use gcc-3.4 on s390.
* Apply patch 10 working around a crashing bug on powerpc (details in
the patch file itself). This closes: bug#324796, #325570, #327288
(thanks to Paul Brossier <piem@debian.org> for first reporting, Ian
Jackson <ian@davenant.greenend.org.uk> for providing the patch, and
Thomas Bushnell BSG <tb@becket.net> for shouting about the problem).
* Bumped Standards-Version to 3.6.2.1 (no physical changes).
* Removed patch 04, since it doesn't affect at all.
* Enabled jbig2dec support.
* Now uses cidfmap generated by defoma.
* gs-gpl.links: make a symlink of CMap directory under /usr/share/gs-gpl/8.15/Resource.
NOTE: even if CMap files can be found somewhere in the font path, gs-esp
fails to prepare a composed font with CIDFont and CMap. This hack is
a workaround for "the CMap files must be put into the first directory of
the font path" problem. Many Thanks Akira TAGOH for suggestion.
* Drop stp patch:
+ Remove stp-related parts of additional_drivers patches 20 and 21.
+ Drop build-dependency on libgimpprint-dev.
+ Remove stp note from README.Debian.
+ Closes: bug#313026 (thanks to Roger Leigh <rleigh@debian.org>).
* Repackaged source tarball with non-free CMaps stripped.
* Added check in debian/rules to fail if CMaps exist in the source.
* Mention in debian/copyright that CMaps are stripped.
* Add myself as uploader (acknowledged by Masayuki), and re-upload as
regular maintainer upload. This package closes: bug#280352 (thanks
to some anonymous(?) lilypond-lover offering virtual beer for
pushing this newer release, and Wouter Verhelst <wouter@debian.org>
for delivering the message).
* Correct UTF8-encoding of debian/changelog.
* NMU of newer upstream release.
* Update and unfuzz patches (Note: source patched by
04_resourcedir_fix_for_debian slightly changed upstream, so may no
longer be needed).
* Use fine-grained X11 build-dependencies.
* [NEWS] added a note on CJK TTF support.
* Revive Samsung GDI support, thanks plum - closes: #250180

* Removed stp driver - closes: #170550
* Added cfax driver - closes: #183438
* Set the priority to 20.
* New upstream release.
+ Uses /dev/urandom instead of /dev/random so does not block forever
waiting for quality random numbers (closes: #176850).
* Fix buffer overflow in gdevhpij.c (sizeof(PK) < PIPE_BUF...) and
remove the old patch (closes: #184345).
* debian/devices: Add pngalpha device.
* NMU
* Fix unconditional PIPE_BUF bug to build on GNU. (Closes: #184345)
* New upstream release.
* debian/rules:
+ Include History7.htm into the changelog.
+ Kill the /usr/share/man/de hierarchy which only documents stuff
in gs-common, not even the gs command.
* Reextract the source without running ntpdate on another console
and rebuild to fix the search path (closes: #173493, #173560).
* debian/control: Conflicts, Provides and Replaces gs-pdfencrypt - that
functionality is now included in gs itself and the old stuff breaks
with current gs (closes: #173222).
* Apply the patch from Florian Zumbiehl (identical to the upstream
solution in newer releases) to fix the scaling of the psmono/psgray
driver - the output was scaled twice (closes: #171530).
* New upstream release.
* debian/control: Use libpng3-dev instead libpng2-dev.
* debian/rules (binary-arch): Use rm -Rf to kill the man dir as rm -R
seems to ask for permission for some users (closes: #152037).
* debian/devices: Enable the ljet4d driver as suggested by
Isidro Cachadiña Gutiérez.
* Apply the hpijs margin patch from
http://hpinkjet.sourceforge.net/gdevijs2.patch (closes: #151869).
* Enable the hl1240 driver (the hl1250 should already be there, but it
seems it isn't...).
* debian/control: Change build dependency on libgimpprint-dev to
libgimpprint1-dev.
* debian/copyright: Include information about add on packages and
their licenses.
* debian/devices: Move x11 in front of x11alpha which has problems with
mono displays at least (closes: #138844).
* src/unix-gcc.mak: Reenable the pipe device as it seems harmless after
all and many filters will break as they are using this feature to
circumvent the old Ghostscript problem with -sOutputFile=- when
the PostScript file writes text to stdout which interferes with the
printer commands... (closes: #138364).
* debian/control: Remove the reference to gs-pdfencrypt which is now
obsolete as it is included in the official Ghostscript now.
* Lintian cleanup:
+ Remove the extra license file /usr/share/doc/gs/COPYING.gz
+ Copying.htm stays as it is since it is linked in the docs
+ Convert History[56].htm to changes.gz using html2text to have an
upstream changelog.
* Included a few important patches from the Ghostscript CVS:
+ Handle the margins from an ijs server correctly. It was my hope that
this would account for #141608, but that does not seem to be the
case :(
+ src/gdevx.c: Patched to use the "right" color depth on X11 for
all cases. It used to take the actual number of bits to store
the color info as opposed to the number of bits actually used.
+ lib/pdf2dsc.ps: This was broken because of the security fix.
Patched to open the files before dropping privileges.
* lib/stcolor.ps: Compare the product name with "GNU Ghostscript" instead
of just "Ghostscript" to detect the interpreter (closes: #108120).
* src/gdevbj10.c: Apply the patch to fix the margins for the Canon BJ10e
submitted by Jim Hague (closes: #118078).
* debian/postinst: Link the manpage to gs.1.gz as well as a slave of
the /usr/bin/gs alternative (closes: #122538).
* gimp-print/README.stp: Copy from gimp-print source tree.
* debian/docs: Install that file as $(docdir)/README.stp for those
using that driver and needing some infos (closes: #122099).
+ debian/README.Debian: Refer the user to README.stp.
* debian/rules: Install the documentation of the pcl3 driver
(closes: #39342).
* debian/docs: Add the README.lexmark of the lexmarkgs driver to the
installed documentation.
* [SECURITY] src/unix-gcc.mak: Disable the pipe device as well since it
still allows executing arbitrary commands. I'll turn it back on when I am
sure it does not cause any security problems.
* New upstream release (closes: #130426).
+ Fixes the security problem allowing reading all files and
executing random commands (closes: #136652).
* debian/gen-makefile: Fix the BUILD_OPTIONS check (closes: #121871).
* Should fix the cjk stuff I hope (closes: #116516). In case there is
another problem please could somebody provide me with information
how to check that it works? I am more than deeply frustrated with
getting readmes in japanese, web pages in japanese etc. That's just
deeply frustrating.
* Urgency medium because it works around a bug breaking the package
on one Debian architecture.
* src/gxobj.h [IA64]: Lock the object alignment to 16 bytes, as the
initial setjmp segfaults because of a bad alignment. jmp_buf needs
to be on 16 byte boundaries for this arch. This is a quick work
around until somebody comes up with a better fix - at least it
gets gs to work on ia64 - I am not certain how much memory overhead
this causes though. Kudos to John Daily <jdaily@progeny.com> for his
investigative work. I am leaving the bug open for now, since it does
not really fix the problem (#128314).
* ijs/*: Include the ijs driver from the hpijs source.
* debian/devices: Add ijs to the device list.
* src/contrib.mak: Include ijs/contrib.mak-6.51.add

* debian/devices: Add lx5000, lex5000.
* debian/devices: Enabled the cfax driver as requested by a user.
* Enable the Brother HL 1250 driver (closes: #63027).
* New upstream release (closes: #101928).
* The new upstream release fixes many problems with the interpreter.

+ the PDF which crashed gs does not lead to any problems (closes: #45361)
+ a PDF which was inverted by pdf2ps stays black on
white now (closes: #49659).
+ Philipp's file crashing gs does not do so anymore (closes: #58468)

what we seem to be able to build. Among the new devices:
- cdj970 (closes: #112434)
- cljet5, cljet5pr, cljet5c
- dl2100, hl7x0
- the generic hpijs device (supports hpijs 0.97, closes: #102369, #110657)
- imagen, inferno, jetp3852
- lex2050, lex3200, lex5700

* debian/gen-makefile: Add support for the DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS environment
variable (more precisely, the debug option leads to a build with
debugging support and exported private variables).
* Add in the CJK support using the patch from
Yasuhiro Take <take@debian.org>. A huge "THANK YOU" to him for his
work!!! His changes:
+ Add debian/patches/gs-cjk-M2-R1+CJKPDF.diff & .info, and apply it
to the source.
+ debian/control: Conflicts: Add gs-cjk-resource (<< 1.20010910-1) because
the new gs-cjk patch requires new gs-cjk-resource that i've already
prepared and doesn't work with older ones.
+ debian/control: Depends: Add gs-common (>= 0.2) because font
configuration for the new gs-cjk patch is completely different from
the old one.
* debian/control: Removed the conflict with gs_x, gs_svga and gs_both.
I don't even remember when those packages where in Debian, probably
before Debian 1.3 so a direct upgrade is going to fail anyway. And
with intermediate upgrades it will not be a problem.
* src/imainarg.c: Reapply the papersize diff from debian/patches.
* debian/rules: Use html2text to convert the html changelog into
plain text instead of lynx (closes: #93722).
* debian/control: Update Build-Depends.
* debian/prerm: Fix the case to handle both removal and upgrade
instead of handling upgrading in two cases (closes: #98458).
* debian/control: Merge multi-line Build-Depends into one line for
now until our tools support multi line fields (closes: #98459).
* debian/postrm: Add missing #DEBHELPER# (arg!).
* debian/prerm: Add defoma-app clean on upgrade.
* debian/gs.templates: Remove the double negation of the previewer
question (closes: #94146).
* Merge german translation for debconf templates (closes: #93840).
* debian/shlibs.local: Depend on svgalibg1 or svgalib-dummyg1
alternatively (closes: #93811).
* debian/README:
+ Move copyright info to debian/copyright.
+ Mention the align.ps file (closes: #67317).
* gdevbbox.c: Use default color methods instead of NULL pointers so
that gs -sDEVICE=bbox does not crash anymore (closes: #36883).
* debian/default_path.sh:
+ Include defoma dir in search path.
+ Search local directories before system directories.
+ Defoma is preferred if available...
* debian/postinst: Fix the hopefully last bashism (s/source/g/).
* Included support for Hewlett Packard's own printer driver called
hpijs (closes: #92010). Note that you will need the hpijs package
for using it.
* Install interesting Postscript files as examples (closes: #79461).
* Finally include the missing if-hpdj filter (closes: #63705).
* Also add the documentation of hp8xx (closes: #63566).
* debian/rules:
+ Don't remove debian/postinst anymore in clean target.
+ Read package and version info from changelog.
+ Convert to debhelper.
* debian/postinst: Again rewritten from scratch (guess why!? arg)
* debian/postinst: Completely rewritten.
+ Fixes the bashism reported by Joey Hess (closes: #92056).
+ Does not mess with /usr/local anymore (closes: #57276).
* unix-gcc.mak: Readd the x11 device (closes: #92586).
* debian/config: Change the priority of the defoma questions to
low. I don't see how the defaults can cause any problems.
* debian/shlibs.local: Removed. Let's see if it works without.
* Finally upgrade to new upstream version, still based on the old
package (the reimplementation is still under the hood ;)
(closes: #65832, #87673).
* unix-gcc.mak: Make x11alpha the default device on X11 as already
done in gs-aladdin. Modern systems should be able to handle the
anti aliasing fast enough.
* debian/control: Update build dependencies for new X11.
* debian/control: Removed Conflicts with local defoma packages made
by Yasuhiro.
* debian/patches/svgalib: Adjust for name change of the main Makefile
and move the targets out of the ifeq so that one can run the file
standalone.
* debian/patches/hpdj:
- Don't patch zmedia2.c since upstream changed it since 5.10.
- Adjust for name change of the main makefile.
- Use the right patch from the hpdj distribution for 5.50.
* debian/patches/hp8xx:

* debian/rules: Make debian/addentry executable before running it
(closes: #90278).
* time_.h: Include <time.h> as well as sys/time.h (closes: #90433, #88391).
* Add kanji patches.
* Add Defoma support.
* Remove kanji patches.
* debian/control: Added build time dependency for libfreetype2-dev
(closes: #82114).
* Included upp files for stc740 printer provided by Gregory P. Smith
(closes: #76845).
* Non-maintainer upload by security team
* Patch from Werner Fink:
+ Create temporary files securely using mkstemp instead of mktemp
+ Don't set LD_RUN_PATH to empty, that makes the runtime linker look
in the current path as well
* contrib/kanji/man/ps2jpdf.1: Changed ".SH PS2JPDF" into ".SH NAME"
(closes: #59925, #60002, #60474).
* debian/rules: Added -isp to call of dpkg-gencontrol (lintian).
* Applied patch from Colin Phipps to fix security problem in ps2epsi
(closes: #57034)
* Only a simple change to close a bugreport: The package contained a
directory in /usr/local in violation with policy. Sorry for this,
the directories are now created by the postinst (closes: #56396).
* This can go into frozen since the changes are absolutely simple.
* debian/control: Fixed build dependencies (closes: #55451).
* debian/patches/hpdj: Added installation of margin files as requested in

Japanese support on the Debian package of "gs"
* Added support for hp8xx drivers by Uli Wortmann (closes Bug#40807).
* Added support for epsf and ttfont features.
* Changed "Aladdin Ghostscript" into "GNU Ghostscript" in
file stcolor.ps e stcinfo.ps (closed Bug#35411, Bug#35525).
* Ghostscript 5.10 is GPL!
This package essentially corresponds to package gs-aladdin_5.10-12,
but redistributed under GPL. Changes w.r.t. gs-aladdin_5.10-12
are:
* Corrected "regulamentations" --> "regulations"
in description of package.
* Filenames in script pdf2ps are now enclosed in double quotes
* Fixed the manpages for bdftops, printafm and wftopfa,
so that they work with apropos.
The various patches to ghostscript 5.10 that have been proposed
by L.P.Deutsch and that appear in gs-aladdin_5.10-12 also appear
in this package.
* Moved to version 2.5 of hpdj driver by Martin Lottermoser (debian/rules
is changed accordingly).
* Mentined package gsfonts in description of gs.
* Fixed the manpages for bdftops, printafm and wftopfa,
so that they work with apropos.
* Removed *.1.gz files from /usr/doc/gs (they already are in the
/usr/man/man1 directory).
* Fixed files stcolor.ps and stcinfo.ps so that they recognize that
they are called by GNU ghostscript; thanks to Gordon Matzigkeit
(closes Bug#28726).
* Changed "Recommends: gs-pdfencrypt" to "Suggests: gs-pdfencrypt" in
control file (closes Bug#27431)
* Removed "Provides: gs_x, gs_svga, gs_both", since "_" cannot appear
in package names, and no packages should depend on these quite old
virtual packages.
* Changed directory name for the libjpeg source from ../libjpeg-6a
to ../libjpeg: so it does not depend on the particular version
of libjpeg (changes in files gcc-head.mak, debian/rules and
debian/jpeg).
* Linked against libjpeg-6b.
* Now /usr/lib/ghostscript/common is searched for library files
before /usr/lib/ghostscript/X.YY (where X.YY is the version of
ghostscript). This is useful for installing packages like
gs-pdfencrypt, that provide (modified) library files
to ghostscript that are independent from the version of gs
(also gs.1 is changed accordingly)
* Now gs-pdfencrypt (in the nonUS distribution) is suggested by
gs-aladdin. Changed the message in the file pdf_sec.ps so that
it suggests to install that package if an encrypted pdf file is
being processed.
* Linked against libpng2 (closes Bug#26924)
* New upstream version (gs 4.03 is finally GPL!!!)
* Pristine source
* Set options in gcc-head.mak
* Added man pages for all the binaries
* All example files in /usr/doc/gs/examples start now with %!
* Script font2c moved from /usr/bin to /usr/lib/ghostscript
(there is really no reason to put this script in /usr/bin)
* Patched devs.mak and gdevpng.c so to work with version 0.96 of libpng.
* Patched gdevcdj.c so that device cdeskjet works
(and is identical to cdj500)
* Patched gdevl256.c imainarg.c so that superuser rights are given away
as soon as possible, and re-obtained only to start svgalib (see
/usr/doc/gs/README.Debian and /usr/doc/gs/setuid.Debian)
* Patched imainarg.c to set default paper accordig to the system paper
as reported by libpaper, also patched imaiarg.c so that the lvga256
device is chosen as the default one if gs is not called from X
* Patched zlib.mak: here the shared file for zlib is called libz,
not libgz
* Corrected address of FSF in copyright file
* All the scripts start now with #!
* Added man pages for all the binaries
* bdftops, font2c and wftopfa moved from /usr/bin to
/usr/lib/ghostscript
(there is really no reason to put these scripts in /usr/bin)
* gs.real moved to /usr/lib/ghostscript (it should not be
called by the user)
* New maintainer
* Libc6 (hamm) release
* Minor fixes in debian/rules
* Bug 10270 fixed: now manpages are compressed
* Bug 9935 fixed: package works with svgalib-dummy
* Redundant dependencies removed in debian/control
(this also fixes Bug 9157)
* Now device cdeskjet works (and is identical to cdj500)
* Examples used to be in /usr/doc/$(examples)/examples, but $(examples)
was empty (should have been $(package), must have been sleeping)
* debian/rules didn't install some files in ./debian/tmp, but in /!!!
Why do I need root to build packages?
* Minor fix in wrapper.c (no change in binary)
* apparently, gs-3.33 never got compiled with all devices (only a
pitiful few ones). Fixed this.
* Converted to new source format
* Removed the "+1" bug in the wrapper that caused coredumps with
libc5.4.7
* included x11alpha x11cmyk devices
* removed dependancy on gsfonts
* Improved argument parsing of wrapper
* Stripped the executables
* Fixed discription bug "This version is aladdin coright,..."!
(Sorry!)
