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 ;-)
- http://www.harsch.net/Ghostscript/ghostscript.html
- driver is based on Uli Wortmann's HO DJ850 driver
- supports duplex printing
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...
an enhanced PCL3 (PCL3+) driver
that was part of gs5 port and got lost in gs55 port.
Now it reappears in gs 6.01 ;-)

additional changes by me:
- configure + configure.batch updates:
reviewed all informations in makefiles and driver docu
to make list of available drivers and supported printers complete
- added DeskJet 880C/882C/895C Driver from Matthew J. Gelhau
Driver is still in developement. There is a newer 1.4 beta version
available, but this version is recommended by the author.
http://www.proaxis.com/~mgelhaus/linux/software/hp880c/hp880c.html
Supported are the following models:
HP DeskJet 812C 815C 832C 880C 882C 895C 932C 970C
- added contributed uniprint driver profiles:

- updated PLIST
- use GS_VERSION for DISTNAME
- fix installation path for pdf_sec.ps if defined PDFENCRYPT
- silence make install ("@")
- change COMMENT to reflect version
- update DESCR, to document driver enhancements compared to stanfard gs
release
- apsfilter will be updated later
Submitted by: "Alec Wolman" <wolman@cs.washington.edu>
- Since the author decided to put a version number into his archive,
we can now safely fetch the file from his site.
- patch-ad is useless now
- updated the configure and configure.batch script, to show all possible
drivers
- install hp850 drivers license and readme file in the gs doc dir
- update the DESCR file, mention the two add on packages in this port
- The new driver supports the following additional printers:
Support for HP DeskJet 670, 690, 850, 855, 870, 890, 1100 and 1600,
See announcement on http://bonk.ethz.ch/hp850/hp850.html
Please note, that some of the drivers have certain restrictions
and produce huge output files ... Please read the release notes !!!
The author makes suggestions on his website, what driver to choose
if you need a fast printout, see
http://bonk.ethz.ch/hp850/hp850-readme.1.3.html
From: Jin Guojun (ITG staff) <jin@george.lbl.gov>
BJC-240 in color mode is supported as well by the bjc600 and bjc800 driver.
BJC-240 b&w is supported by bj200. Added this to configure dialogue.
From: Luigi Rizzo <luigi@labinfo.iet.unipi.it>:
Support for encrypted PDF files by replacing pdf_sec.ps with the
free and legal version from:
http://www.ozemail.com.au/~geoffk/pdfencrypt/pdf_sec.ps
Deceided to update the pathnames of font files for easier
maintenance, because they revamped their ftp archive structure
to "5.10/files".
Submitted by: various people
From the release notes: 5.10 is a special release to clear up
problems in the PDF writer (ps2pdf) affecting NSF's FastLane proposal
submission program: we have tested its output and verified
compatibility with the Acrobat software that NSF uses. Relative to
5.03, the only other changes in 5.10 are some improvements in the
PDF interpreter to handle more PDF 1.2 (Acrobat 3.x) constructs,
and a number of bug fixes.
See: http://bonk.ethz.ch/hp850/hp850.html
Additional driver will be fetched directly from internet now
Because this driver source is packed as a .zip file (tada *sigh*)
and contains ^M's (where the combination \^M confuses gcc) we have
to BUILD_DEPEND on unzip and pipe the source and header files through
sed to wipe out the ^M's ...
As requested by: Lars Koeller
Makefile:
- Changed WRKSRC
- New GS_SOURCES
- Make symbolic link from jpeg-6a and libpng port's workdir into
WRKSRC, instead of patching unix-gcc.mak further:
ln -s ${PORTSDIR}/graphics/jpeg/work/jpeg-6a ${WRKSRC}/jpeg-6a
ln -s ${PORTSDIR}/graphics/png/work/libpng-0.96 ${WRKSRC}/libpng
- updated md5 files
patches/patch-aa:
- new unified diff because some of the above mentioned changes
- Only commented out the default DEVICE_DEVS
- make our zlib compile again
pkg/DESCR:
- bumped version number
pkg/PLIST:
- updated PLIST
- added proper @dirrm's for a successfull pkg_delete action
scripts/configure:
- added new drivers
"la70t" "DEC LA70 printer with low resol. text enhancement" ON \
"lq850" "EPSON LQ-850 (360x360), ok for Canon BJ300 in LQ850 emul" ON \
- rmoved one unnecessary "pdfwrite"
- same for scripts/configure.batch
