Sending the file by default to the printer is (IMHO):
. counter-intuitive; the name a2ps suggests that the tool converts
ASCII (plus other files) to Postscript, but it by no means gives a
hint that it would print something without asking,
. violating the Unix way; we've got pipes, and people are used to use
them when they want to print something (IMHO there isn't even a good
reason for adding all the -P bloat to a2ps at all, but of course, i
don't suggest changing _that_),
. contradictionary to all the documentation about a2ps since the docs
tell you that it would only start printing if a -P or -c option is
being provided,
. a waste of paper for the brave user who starts the program in the
innocent assumption to get just a Postscript file out of it.

* Portlint and clean up some style bugs
* Replace a hand-rolled configure script with pre/post-configure and
GNU_CONFIGURE (side-effect is to respect CC and CFLAGS in the build
instead of using -O2)
* respect the value of INSTALL_SCRIPT so the installation doesn't bomb out
when we pass in INSTALL_PROGRAM as well
* allow automatic packaging (the MANUAL_PACKAGE_BUILD) seems to be a hold-
over from several years ago before package builds were done separately.

- bsd.port.mk update to use bsd.kde.mk for USE_{QT,KDE}*
- Cleanup corresponding ports for bsd.kde.mk update.
- Fix bsd.kde.mk: use correct kdelibs dependency, put qt at the bottom,
introduce QT_NONSTANDARD variable for nonstandard configure setup.
- Update KDE2 to 2.1.1. Two patches included in x11/kdelibs2 to fix the
proxy authentication that was broken for 2.1.1. Remove old patches.
- Potentially fix kdelibs build for alpha.
- Fix qt-designer 2.3.0 build.
- Ruby stuff left alone since it looks like black magic to me. Should
still work w/ compat shims for older USE_QT[,2] style. Some others
were also left alone for the same reason.

- therefore bump port revision
- add a makefile template, so that it will be compiled in
- patch configure.batch and the interactive one
interactive configuration is still not enabled, because every
driver entry needs to be checked thoroughly if its still present,
if more printer models are supported, if there are new printers/drivers,
etc ... This needs time that I currently don't have.
Any taker ???
- a duplex printing password fix turned out incompatibility of
BSD od(1) to other flavours of od(1).
- apsfilter 6.1.1 contains the duplex password fix
+ a substitution of od(1) with hexdump which also seems to be
available on Linux and Solaris.
- no PORTREVISION dump since we have a new release
- added pkg-message file for easier handling and addition of
notification to apsfilter *package*
had to change configure script and Makefile to follow that new
infrastructure.
- troff notification in dependency to FreeBSD version
all from -current has been merged after a long testing period.
See the ANNOUNCE file for the long list of bugfixes, security,

I hope, this time apsfilter port will fit on CD 1, so
people can install apsfilter during initial FreeBSD
installation.

Delete "p" from "${TAR} xfp". Expanding this distfile, directory modes

- default in BATCH mode is now, NOT to have X11 based utilities in
port dependencies, I think this makes apsfilter better in
- running on small printservers that don't have X11 installed
- making apsfilter package more "sexy" for being placed onto the 1st
FreeBSD installation CD-ROM, since now it consumes less space !!!
- make apsfilter use the same make environment variable NO_X like
in ghostscript6 port
- this enables you to build and run apsfilter even on a small printserver,
that doesn't have X installed
- NO_X is even usefull when having APSFILTER_ALL set, since then it installs
all available/supported filter utilities, that don't require X11
- the last one needs some more fine tuning, currently I left it empty,
have to think about, whats a possible replacement that don't need X11...

- this saves paper if you device to kill a job quickly because you

- bumped PORTREVISION since this makes sure, that packages are build from
proper source
Submitted by: Christopher Masto <chris@netmonger.net>
this is another showstopper after the variable name change and still
doesn't show up here, since I have the sources in DISTFILES dir...
PORTREVISION still doesn't need a bump, since no package could have
been created and if, there is no new port functionality involved with
this fix. Sorry for any trouble, but its too expensive for me, to re-fetch
all files as final test.

high quality drivers for Epsons, HPs, ...
- bumped port revision
- modified all target and added a makefile component to build
tool from stp driver (escputil) to do maintenance on epsons
install manpage as well
- variable name changes, new scheme sounds better
- use variables as often as possible in all make targets
to reduce port maintenance as much as possible
- fix two copy and paste mistakes in echo messages
- updated pkg_plist, tested port and package building
as well as removal
- modified configure.batch to build stp driver
- removed port revision, because of new version
- added PCL3 driver (hpdj successor) from Martin Lottermoser
*both* driver, HPDJ and PCL3, are now compiled in
reason: PCL3 is still flagged as BETA and author didn't get much response
Although Martin says, its definitively not ALPHA, its safer to have the
old drivers around, if things fail for some reason.
Martin confirmed, that its possible to have both in one gs binary !!!
- disable configure script temporarily, since dialog needs a driver update
but I don't want to hold back that port any longer.
- enabled as many gs driver as possible
- reorganized MASTER_SITES
- added mirrors
- add a note, that russion mirror isn't up to date, so don't add it
- optimized downloading from 6 different sources by special ordering
- reorganized Makefile completely
- put only ${GS_SOURCES} into EXTRACT_ONLY variable
unpacking other 3rd party src's is handled in post-extract target
- directory creating, patching, unpacking and install actions are
now handeled within the proper make target. This makes port maintenance
much easier, i.e.: if you enter make extract, then only extraction
of things happen, but makefiles are still not patched. Before this
cleanup, things were not so structured and not easy to maintain.
Maybe we get a configure script later, to choose between different
3rd party driver options, then this "sorting" and documenting
will support the migration process...
- silence port by hiding actions with "@"
- insert many informational echoes. This makes port maintenance and
troubleshooting easier
- put more unique comments in front of the different 3rd party modules
- document things better
- use as many environment variables as necessary, so that "numerical"
changes only have to happen on some places and not withing make targets
- use gs version number also in docu directory
- properly install runtime, info and doc files from 3rd party drivers
- put not needed stuff into "NOPORTDOCS" section
- keep old font names to avoid fetching unnecessary things
- updated patches as necessary
- added new patch from Nartin Lottermoser
- removed 2 patches that have been incorporated into gs 6.50
- added needed manual pages
- updated pkg-plist
- finally tested port and package building as well as port removal
new port passes all disciplines ;-)

- add patchsite and patchfile
- fix1: correct apsfilter version string that is echo'd in logfile
when script debugging is turned on
- fix2: samba remote printing bug fixed. The exported variable
containing the windows password was spelled incorrectly.
samba 2.0.7 uses PASSWD not PASSWORD.
Hint: People who don't want to reinstall apsfilter can fix that easily
by substituting PASSWORD with PASSWD
- for runtime
in $PREFIX/share/apsfilter/bin/apsfilter
- for SETUP (test printing functionality)
in $PREFIX/share/apsfilter/SETUP
${PREFIX}/include, because this lead to the freetype1's includes being picked
by the freetype2 ports.

I must commit modification for pips800 which is a master port for these.
I forgot it.
(2) Simplify slave ports in japapese
(modifying Makefile and deleting pkg-plist).
cleanup: don't create /usr/local/apsfilter/filter/.keep_me anymore
(normal and BATCH mode)
echo some infos in install target ( if BATCH NOT set), where to look
for further help in case of trouble.
BTW, Jordan reported some bugs with noneexisting printcap file and
problems printing a test page. I removed my printcap prior installation
of printers using SETUP and had no problem so far.
The only thing that might be the case is, that apsfilters SETUP
doesn't grok the situation, if you choose a driver, that is actually
NOT compiled in into your gs binary... but this is JUST A THOUGHT.
hint: no need to update folks, sorry, make-release still doesn't work right
and updates still apsfilter-stable if I want to roll a new -current snapshot.
I will fix it in the future but currently I don't have time.

Note from the author: in duplex mode black is not so intensive as
in normal mode. Maybe HP wants to prevent, that you don't see the
black of the other side of the page too much.
If somebody knows HP's algorithm, how to reduce the black, then
author would try to compensate it with some code...
of this quite old gs5 port. Sorry forgot the name of the one who
told me to do so, but I think we all agree in not having an old
gs5 and a gs55 port all together in the ports collection.
Several notes:
o Freetype2 is incompatible at API level with older freetype, therefore
portname will be freetype2-x.x to allow pkg_* tools correctly handle
dependencies (I do not use NO_LATEST_LINK, because it is a production-quality
software, not a beta or such).
o There are no fs namespace conflicts between freetype and freetype2, so they
both could be installed on the same machine w/o any problems.
USE_MOTIF and generates a LIB_DEPENDS to x11-toolkits/open-motif. As
before, it implies USE_XPM (and therefore USE_XLIB). Motif-dummy is
removed from PKG_IGNORE_DEPENDS, whose sole resident is now XFree86-3.
Most of the simple ".if defined(HAVE_MOTIF)"s are removed to always
have USE_MOTIF. ftp/moxftp will define USE_MOTIF unless
WANT_ATHENA_VERSION (new variable) is defined. I merged the X cases
in cad/mars, so USE_MOTIF is used iff WITHOUT_X11 is not defined.
I will remove x11-toolkits/Motif-dummy (which has been repo copied to
open-motif) in a few days.
your efforts on these ports, and thank you for also taking the responsibility
to let us know your time now has other priorities.
