Ghostscript is the well-known PostScript interpreter which is available for
all common and most esoteric platforms and supports many different printers
and some displays.
Versions entitled "GNU Ghostscript" are distributed with the GNU General
Public License, which allows free use, and free copying and redistribution
under certain conditions (including, in some cases, commercial distribution).
This is the older version 7, for those that can't (or don't want to) use
the newer Ghostscript version 8.
This port includes add-on packages (not part of the official gs release)

* print/ghostscript-* and related ports have been renamed in the
following way:
print/ghostscript-gnu -> print/ghostscript7
print/ghostscript-gnu-nox11 -> print/ghostscript7-nox11
print/ghostscript-gnu-commfont -> print/ghostscript7-commfont
print/ghostscript-gpl -> print/ghostscript8
print/ghostscript-gpl-nox11 -> print/ghostscript8-nox11
japanese/ghostscript-gnu-jpnfont -> print/ghostscript7-jpnfont
korean/ghostscript-gnu-korfont -> print/ghostscript7-korfont
* USE_GHOSTSCRIPT now supports a version number which the port
requires. The valid value is "7" or "8". If other value is
specified, value of WITH_GHOSTSCRIPT_VER is used.
* WITH_GHOSTSCRIPT_GNU has been removed in favor of
WITH_GHOSTSCRIPT_VER. The valid value of WITH_GHOSTSCRIPT_VER is
"7" or "8", and the default value is "8".

the AFPL Ghostscript 8.00 release of 14 months ago. The most
significant new feature since 7.0x is support for DeviceN
colorspaces, up to 8 colorants total at 8 bits per component. Also,
pdfwrite has seen considerable improvement in font handling, and
many other bug fixes.

(forced commit)
Former my commit is violating the
committer's rule. Samsung-SmartGDI-all-GS.tar.gz
has subject to change and this file has no
version number...
This update dealt with the problem
that the printer does not accept compressed data bands bigger than
64 kB (gdevgdi-64k-bands-gtaylor.patch) is applied. So files not being
printed with the original driver will most probably be printed with
this version.
However, my falut commit was it has already changed by arved.

Fix ghostscript on ia64. The logic to determine what the minimum
alignment must be is based on elementary datatypes, but does not
take into account the alignment requirements of FP spills. Such
are present in jmp_buf. The memory allocator is used by the JPEG
and PNG libraries as well and the JPEG library has a jmp_buf in
one of its structures.
Another problem case is the "long double" type. This datatype is
not in the list of elementary types on which the minimal alignment
is based and can also be used by imported source code.
The patch forces 16-byte alignment on ia64.
Bump $PORTREVISION for previous commit (distfile changed).
Changes in gdevdj9.c include "both the Quality and the Duplex parameter

version.
Add checksum for latest HP DJ970C Series driver (I left the old checksum in

Upgrade HPIJS (HP inkjet) driver to 1.0.2, featuring the latest disclaimer

Update HPIJS package from 1.0 to 1.0.1. HP fixed "off-by-one error" in the
HPIJS sources, that caused hpijs to core dump at runtime, when being compiled
with -O or -O2. I confirmed, that everything works perfectly again with -O and
-O2. Bumped port revision, to flag this as an important change. Thanks to
David Suffield from HP who took our (and others) reports seriously, fixed the
bug and released the new HPIJS version.
