a2ps-letter 4.13b_4 print =45

Formats an ascii file for printing on a postscript printer
Maintained by: dinoex@FreeBSD.org
Port Added: unknown

A2ps formats each named file for printing in a postscript printer; if
no file is given, a2ps reads from the standard input. The format used
is nice and compact: normally two pages on each physical page, borders
surrounding pages, headers with useful information (page number,
printing date, file name or supplied header), line numbering, etc.
This is very useful for making archive listings of programs.

Additionally, A2ps "pretty print"s using special fonts for a wide array
of languages, making things like program listings much more legible.

Don't remove system locale directories (not listed in the relevant
BSD.*.dist), but do remove locale directories that are not listed
there.  Moreover, don't try to unconditionally @dirrm these
directories since they're shared with other ports and are likely to
still be in use.

Bump PORTREVISION due to recent patches    

Add a patch so a2ps doesn't bomb out if the machine it is called from has   a
long hostname    

Fix path to ogonkify fonts    

This patch was misnamed.  It has reappeard as patch-printers.c  

Don't send the generated output to the printer by default.    

Don't send the generated output to the printer by default.    

MASTER_SITE_LOCAL hosting is no longer needed.    

remove empty share/locale stuff.    

Updated the "sheets.map" file for 4.13.    

Add missing manpage texi2dvi4a2ps.1 (how do you pronounce that?!?).    

Comment out a2ps.el for now, this won't package since emacs is not a  
dependency (which is a good thing!).  Remove removal of site-lisp   directories,
they are created by mtree anyway.    

Convert category print to new layout.  

Since the maintainer could not be bothered in the past _3_ months to move  
``sheet.map'' to freefall:~/public_distfiles, I'll host the file.    

Update this to version 4.13.    

Prevent a2ps from going crazy: Don't let it install files in /.    

Move the stragler's www.freebsd.org/~user distfiles to the offical  
MASTER_SITE_LOCAL site.    

From received mail:   Hi,   by accident I found that a2ps dumps core if invoked
with   options for the old a2ps version.    

Rename INSTALLS_SHLIBS to INSTALLS_SHLIB.  (There was a typo in the   previous
commit message to bsd.port.mk, which said INSTALL_SHLIBS.  Boo.)    

Fix MASSIVE typo INSTALL_SHLIBS --> INSTALLS_SHLIBS, which occured because I  
just cun'n'pasted the name from Satoshi's commit message without checking   it. 
  

Second round of INSTALL_SHLIBS=yes fixes.    

@exec/unexec install-info regex.info too.  Remove one extra directory.
