2005

gs-gpl (8.15-4.1) unstable; urgency=low

   * Non-maintainer upload.

 -- Bastian Blank <waldi@debian.org>  Thu, 29 Dec 2005 10:52:10 +0000

gs-gpl (8.15-4) unstable; urgency=low

   * 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).

 -- Jonas Smedegaard <dr@jones.dk>  Mon, 19 Sep 2005 15:15:44 +0200

gs-gpl (8.15-3) unstable; urgency=low

   * 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.

     pushing this newer release, and Wouter Verhelst <wouter@debian.org>
     for delivering the message).

2003

gs (7.07-1) unstable; urgency=low

 -- Torsten Landschoff <torsten@debian.org>  Thu, 3 Apr 2003 11:34:02 +0200

2002

gs (7.05-3) unstable; urgency=low

   * Reextract the source without running ntpdate on another console
     and rebuild to fix the search path (closes: #173493, #173560).

 -- Torsten Landschoff <torsten@debian.org>  Fri, 20 Dec 2002 15:54:29 +0100

gs (7.05-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * 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).

 -- Torsten Landschoff <torsten@debian.org>  Tue, 17 Dec 2002 11:44:44 +0100

gs (7.05-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * New upstream release.

 -- Torsten Landschoff <torsten@debian.org>  Sun, 1 Sep 2002 01:10:37 +0200

gs (6.53-7) unstable; urgency=low

   * 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).

 -- Torsten Landschoff <torsten@debian.org>  Wed, 28 Aug 2002 01:28:36 +0200

gs (6.53-6) unstable; urgency=low

   * debian/devices: Enable the ljet4d driver as suggested by

gs (6.53-4) unstable; urgency=low

   * 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.

 -- Torsten Landschoff <torsten@debian.org>  Wed, 3 Jul 2002 19:36:58 +0200

gs (6.53-3) unstable; urgency=high

   * 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.

 -- Torsten Landschoff <torsten@debian.org>  Tue, 9 Apr 2002 02:29:10 +0200

gs (6.53-2) unstable; urgency=high

   * [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.

 -- Torsten Landschoff <torsten@debian.org>  Thu, 7 Mar 2002 12:24:53 +0100

gs (6.53-1) unstable; urgency=high

   * 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.

 -- Torsten Landschoff <torsten@debian.org>  Wed, 6 Mar 2002 01:20:30 +0100

gs (6.51-7) unstable; urgency=medium

   * 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).

     search path to get gs-pdfencrypt working again (closes: #119406).
   * Download the lex5000 driver and include it in the build system
     (closes: #58657).

gs (6.51-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * New upstream release (closes: #101928).
   * The new upstream release fixes many problems with the interpreter.
     These bugs were fixed in Ghostscript 6.0:
     + the font rendering problem in X11 is fixed (closes: #28579)
     + ps2pdf does not write rectangles for polygons anymore (closes: #36200)
     + 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)
     + the invalid LanguageGroup in fonts does not cause gs to abort
       anymore (closes: #67462).
     + another PDF file which caused a crash is working now (closes: #89995)
   * Rewrote the build system.
   * The libjpeg sources are now included in the diff which is not nice
     but working (closes: #87896).
   * lynx is not used anymore to convert the changelog to plain text
     (closes: #93722).
   * The hpijs driver is now included upstream (closes: #106294).
   * Driver support for the Apple Imagewriter is now included (closes: #110740).
   * Make the package use update-alternatives so that different gs packages
     can cooperate (closes: #98227).
   * Add in the gdi driver provided by Daniel Burrows (closes: #105885).
   * debian/devices: Add omni to the list
     + debian/gen-makefile: Add threading and dynamic linking support.
   * debian/control: Add libglib1.2-dev to the Build-Depends as it is
     needed for the Omni driver.
   * debian/devices: Go through the list of available drivers and add
     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
     - oki4w
     - plan9bm
     - psrgb
     - x11cmyk2, x11cmyk4, x11cmyk8, x11gray4
   * src/contrib.mak: Add missing generic hpijs device.
   * Enable stp driver and link with libgimpprint
     (closes: #82454, #87004, #103036)
   * debian/control: Build-Depend on libgimpprint-dev.
   * 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.

   * 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.

     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.

gs (4.03-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * 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)

   * 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
