my dual PIII-700 trying to figure out the sizes of the
primary and secondary caches. The sizes turned out to be
rather wrong (definetly true for the L2 cache, may be L1
is indeed 32Kb). Their algorithm seems bogus to me, but
most importantly, the obtained values are NOT USED
anywhere in the GhostScript code... One of the submitted
patches rips the "cache size" section from the genarch
entirely.
The attached modification and new patches also:
. replace the use of mktemp/fopen with mkstemp/fdopen
. modify the unix-gcc.mak so that there is no need for
GNU-make

apsfilter 6.0-RELEASE.
- The installation directory changed
from ${PREFIX}/apsfilter
to ${PREFIX}/share/apsfilter
- Its possible to run SETUP on a NFS client from mounted ${PREFIX}/share
and so to install apsfilter on NFS clients ...
- Now Linux and FreeBSD have the same installation directory.
- /etc/apsfilter contains since 6.0 (2 weeks ago) a little directory
structure for every printer.
- Switching between apsfilter releases is possible by simply changing
the destination of the symblic link /etc/apsfilter/basedir.
Apsfilter V 6.0 _is_ in my humble opineon stable and useable and
the best apsfilter release ever since filtersetup and such things
have gone ... apsfilter has been modernized from ground up.
So please test test test.

* SETUP: use "-" instead of "-_", as reported from
Hal Bower. To make print_testpage work on every gs version.
For printing the test page this is enough.
* info file fix: use new domain "apsfilter.org"
* refresh info concerning mailing-lists, the following are
available now:
- apsfilter-announce Announcements
- apsfilter-chat talk/chat around apsfilter and printing
- apsfilter-current developer version of apsfilter
- apsfilter-cvs Commit Messages of Apsfilter Developers

Add patch 5.4.2 to RELENG_5
Things that makes me wonder:
a) patch is unable to remove make-release, that vanished in RELENG_5
so I had to remove the diff for that. Don't know if our patch is
so dumb, or if cvs diff doesn't generate the right things.
The complete diff concerning this is rejected.
b) the CONFIGURE TARGET OF OUR PORTS COLLECTION STILL doesn't work.
Could someone please tell me, if I missed something ???
Suddenly the apsfilter configure script isn't executed anymore
and so the apsfilter port doesn't create Makefile.inc to resolve
the port dependencies, when being called "interactively"...
XFree86 (3 or 4) to depend to when USE_XLIB is set.
XFREE86_VERSION defaults to 3 for now, but adventurous users can
override it in /etc/make.conf. When XFREE86_VERSION=3, USE_XLIB
will add a dependency to x11/XFree86; when it is set to 4, the
dependency will be to x11/XFree86-4-libraries. When
XFREE86_VERSION=4, the PKG_IGNORE_DEPENDS and ALWAYS_BUILD_DEPENDS
hacks to avoid messing with XFree86 are turned off.
Since XFree86 version 4 includes some software that used to be
separate ports, when XFREE86_VERSION=3 the following variables are
provided:
USE_DGS LIB_DEPENDS on x11/dgs
USE_FREETYPE LIB_DEPENDS on print/freetype
USE_MESA LIB_DEPENDS on graphics/Mesa3
USE_XPM LIB_DEPENDS on graphics/xpm
When XFREE86_VERSION=4, these variables have no effect. The
LIB_DEPENDS in the tree for the above four ports have all been
converted to the USE_* counterparts. For your information, this
is the count of the number of ports:
USE_DGS 0
USE_FREETYPE 16
USE_MESA 36
USE_XPM 236
There is a new variable, XAWVER, which is set to 6 when
XFREE86_VERSION=3 and 7 when XFREE86_VERSION=4. This is also
passed to PLIST_SUB so ports that build Xaw based shared libraries
can use this variable to substitute the shlib version number.
There is also a provision of using a separate mtree file for
XFREE86_VERSION=4, but that part is not enabled yet.
Reviewed by: the ports list
Tested by: make index (XFREE86_VERSION=3 only)

Many thanks to the FreeBSD developer team, Jordan, WC,
who made distribution of apsfilter possible for years.
Changes:
- checksums changed
- Redesign concerning patches to save CVS repository space
remove patches in patches directory completely !
- use PATCHFILES in Makefile instead, which are actually
smaller changes !
(2) Now it is not necessary to exist a file "info/dir"
when install-info is executed.
By (1) and (2), I removed the next line:

o Additional "post-5.4.2 Release" features:
- AppleTalk Remote printer support (via netatalk's pap(1) utility).
Experimental, please test !
- new revised uniprint profiles from Harold Bower <HalBower@worldnet.att.net>
and additionally some new for:
- Epson Stylus 800 (Monochrome) and
- Epson LQ-570/870/1070/1170 24-pin Dot-Matrix
- prevent printing of an empty page when using raw printer, default is off now.
- bugfix: older gs versions (< v6.x) doesn't support "-_", which allows more efficient read operation. The bug prevented apsfilter to work with the
older gs versions.
- bugfix: hpdj (3rd party gs driver) doesn't like the -sBitsPerPixel option. So stripp it off, if using hpdj driver.
- FAQ file cleanups
- better hpdj driver defaults for HP DJ 970 printers
- some cleanups in code when printing PDF files
- and other things ....
Hi,
by accident I found that a2ps dumps core if invoked with
options for the old a2ps version.
a2ps -f -F7.0
reproduces the problem. With the following patch the problem
seems to be cured.
The patches work.

Along with cosmetic changes to other parts of the metaport
for the new shared library version numbers.
Plus. The metaport has been reworked to bring in a few more
often-requested items.
Please note that you absolutely need GTK/GLIB 1.2.8 or higher
for this release.
if you want apsfilters so called "CLASS support" when suppressing the
printing of banner page.
CLASS support enables you to enter gs driver specific commands
on the command line via lpr's -C option, i.e.:
lpr -C high:presentation file.ps
Normally this only works when you configure lpd to print the banner page.
Only then additional lines are inserted in the print jobs control file.
apsfilters standard printcap installation always uses :sh:,
therefore you need the patch for lpr.c, to write those "CLASS informations"
into the print jobs control file, no matter if :sh: is configured in
printcap or not.
- contains security fixes
- make-release: web page design
- remove note about manually installing manpages on Linux Systems
this is done by SETUP
- new TODO item
- SETUP: order of manpage install paths (Matej Vela)
reduce alignment problems. It is only slightly slower, but produces much
nicer print.
- Added $Id$

an enhanced PCL3 (PCL3+) driver
that was part of gs5 port and got lost in gs55 port.
Now it reappears in gs 6.01 ;-)

print/acroread-commfont:
- Use CATEGORIES+= to follow after a slave's lang-specific category.
{chinese,japanese,korean}/acroread-*font:
- Set only the lang-specific category for each.
Anomalies found:
- autoconvert was missing "zh-" in front of PKGNAME
- xcin (both 2.3 and 2.5) had invalid version strings
- neither of xcin ports had NO_LATEST_LINK
- telnet8-1.0 thinks PKGNAME is zh-telnet-1.0
Fixed all except the last (I wasn't sure if it was intentional).
PORTNAME/PORTVERSION change, cpiazza must have accidentally hit a
"~" in his vi or something. :>
I have a hunch that the "?=" in PORTNAME and PORTVERSION can be
changed to "=" too but I'll leave those for now.

syntax error in SETUP
which is detected by bash2 but not by our shell
So all Linux user trapped over this
result is, that you can't select a printer and loop in printer selection
forever...
+ doesn't work:
+ PRINTER=`awk -F "|" \
^----- missing "
+ "{ if (FNR == $answer ) print \\$2 }" \

+ works:
+ PRINTER="`awk -F "|" \

Is it a bug in our shell ???
Fixes BUG in apsfilter 5.3.0
SETUP: you entered a "printer selection loop" when selecting uniprint
printer
Includes the previous patch for CLASS support and such ...
New features in 5.3.0
=====================
- Major enhancements in SETUP, therefore version bump
- checks your version of ghostscript
- is aware of gs version 5.50 and 6.01 printer drivers
- new driver selection mechanism
- fetches list of available printer driver from file
- you can browse/search this list using more
- you select printer driver by number
- sanity check, if the printer driver is present in your gs binary
- at the end of your selection you get a list of printers
as confirmation, that are supported by your driver selection
- you can repeat this step as often as you like until you
choose a valid printer driver
- After printer driver selection you can as usual print test pages
if you like or repeat the step of selection another driver in this
more user friendly manner.
- upp profile contribution for
Epson LQ-570/870/1070/1170 ESC/P2 24-pin Dot Matrix printer

- Generic Postscript printer Support
- added more resolutions in SETUP script and apsfilter script
- bugfix: some resolutions were missing in apsfilter script
- Adding driver support information is now more easy, since you only
have to add it to a file setup/printer-<gs-version>
- internal: download page: enhanced make-release script
produces now diffs from every version to latest version
- latest apsfilter patches can be found on download page
- info: new URL -> http://people.freebsd.org/~andreas

- make-release: generate more diffs (every release to latest) and
patch from latest to head branch
- Added files with an up to date printer list for gs 5.50 and 6.01
SETUP will be modified later...
- devices-5.50 - list of driver options
- devices-6.01 - list of driver options
- printer-5.50 - list of supported printers
- printer-6.01 - list of supported printers
- make configure script work (Louis)
- make configure.batch script work (Andreas)

Before the new patch gs build fine, but didn't
include the printer devices included with configuration script.
After fixing this it refuses to build.
Any help appreciated.
Now you have the last version as I to help me to fix the mess.

New apsfilter features:
* Security: config files are read using awk, not sourced during runtime
* Complete Windows Remote Printer Support (as Guest user or using real login)
* Complete Unix remote printer support
* Support for different print resolutions (by starting SETUP repeatedly)
and choosing different print resolutions
* A2PS options revamped
* lots of more things... See my homepage, ANNOUNCE file ...
* print margin problem of a2ps fixed
FAQ section gives you a real life example, of how to configure
page margins in /usr/local/etc/a2ps.cfg for an EPSON STYLUS PRO.
With this example you can fine tune the margins for your printer in
about 10-15 minutes from scratch...
- SETUP: added support for configuring remote printer
Beware: you still have to make sure, that your line printer scheduler supports
input filter processing with remote printers as it is the case for FreeBSD 3.x
and later with a "fixed" lpd, as well as for Unix systems with LPRng installed
as lineprinter scheduler, which is the case for some (not all !!!) Linux
Systems.
- Add support for printing with SAMBA (SAMBA_PRINTER)
- Bugfix. Some printer dependend settings will be overwritten, when installing
a 2nd printer, which might cause printing with the 1st printer to fail,
especially if the first printer is color and 2nd B&W or vice versa.
Revamped SETUP and bin/apsfilter to get around this.
- Added SETUP menue entries for the uniprint driver

1. Change freetype-1.2 to freetype-1.3 in post-install, so
it can find freetype sources to build ttf2pk & ttf2tfm.
2. It no longer uses moettf, but Arphic ttf instead, which
has no character loss and IMHO much more beautiful. :)
3. Generates GB tfms from Arphic fonts.

- Update apsfilter to new version 5.1.4
- Use a2ps-letterdj as default in dialog setup script
This should fix problems for most HP Deskjet and
Espon print Problems because of wrong print margins
This is even recommended for A4 printing !!!
apsfilter 5.1.3 - 5.1.4 changes:
- added uniprint directory for contributed ghostscript uniprint driver files
- uniprint driver contribution for Epson Stylus Color 740
- support for using different uniprint driver profiles for one printer,
updated apsfilterrc with example
- fixed shell scripts, so that SETUP runs with Solaris 7 /bin/sh
(remember, you still need to replace your SVR4 compatible printing
subsystem with LPRng, if you want to use apsfilter on Solaris 7 and
related SVR4 compatible Unix derivates)
- added docu on how to configure apsfilter for remote printing
doc/REMOTE-PRINTING
- Update FAQ concerning
- how to adjust page margins (if some pixels are missing
in your printout)
- Change default for printing ASCII documents to
single page on a sheet, portrait format, without any header or border
- Updated apsfilterrc to be more verbose about the difference of
the legacy a2ps config option "FEATURE"
vs. the new recommended way "A2PS_OPTS"
- cosmetic in SETUP, see ChangeLog file
- [internal]: improve make-release script
Fix the BATCH=yes case. The .keep_me file was not being touched in
BATCH=yes since MAkefile.inc was only created in interactive mode,
and Makefile.inc is where .keep_me is also touched... This port
should now work for BATCH and !BATCH.
For now, include files are installed in ${PREFIX}/include/freetype
(that's the default with version 1.3) and symlinks are created in
${PREFIX}/include for compatibility
scripts can create the complete list of apsfilter port
dependencies.
So I removed the "BATCH case" from configure to the
more suitable area/form in Makefile of the port.
- support a4 and letter papersizes after a repository copy from
html2ps to html2ps-a4 and html2ps-letter.
- use ${PERL} for substituting not ${PERL5}.
Requested by: Andreas Klemm <andreas@FreeBSD.org> (mantainer)
gzip and bzip2 create a compressed file and in
the header unfortunately this changes md5 checksum.
Now updating md5, have to look for a better solution
in the near future, stay tuned...
Changed License, want a postcard.
New features in 5.1.3
=====================
- Security fix. tmp files are now not readable by other people
this gives you more privacy for your print jobs
- New nice options for a2ps when printing ASCII files
- SETUP's main menue now leads you more user friendly to new uniprint drivers
- SETUP: many display enhancements to make the setup script more
informative to the user.
- some cosmetic concerning apsfilter-promo@klemm.gtn.com
